Frameworks are a critical, if underappreciated, component of any space exploration mission. They can range from the overall mission architecture, capturing scientific and technical goals, to the structure of messages sent between two internal components of the system.Frameworks are a critical, if underappreciated, component of any space exploration mission.

An AI system that learns language autonomously develops a language structured in the same way as human language. And just as we humans learn from previous generations, AI models get better when they take advantage of the knowledge of older relatives.An AI system that learns language autonomously develops a language structured in the same way as human language.

Artificial intelligence isn’t always a reliable source of information: large language models (LLMs) like Llama and ChatGPT can be prone to “hallucinating” and inventing bogus facts. But what if AI could be used to detect mistaken or distorted claims, and help people find their way more confidently through a sea of potential distortions online and elsewhere?Artificial intelligence isn’t always a reliable source of information: large language models (LLMs) like Llama and ChatGPT can be prone to “hallucinating” and inventing bogus facts.

Many policy discussions on AI safety regulation have focused on the need to establish regulatory “guardrails” to protect the public from the risks of AI technology. In a new paper published in the journal Risk Analysis, two experts argue that, instead of imposing guardrails, policymakers should demand “leashes.”Many policy discussions on AI safety regulation have focused on the need to establish regulatory “guardrails” to protect the public from the risks of AI technology.

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and the study of neurobiological processes are deeply interlinked, as a deeper understanding of the former can yield valuable insight about the other, and vice versa. Recent neuroscience studies have found that mental state transitions, such as the transition from wakefulness to slow-wave sleep and then to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, modulate temporary interactions in a class of neurons known as layer 5 pyramidal two-point neurons (TPNs), aligning them with a person’s mental states.The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and the study of neurobiological processes are deeply interlinked, as a deeper understanding of the former can yield valuable insight about the other, and vice versa.
