Dr. Federica Fedorczyk, early career research fellow at the Institute for Ethics in AI, works on AI regulation and ethics with a focus on the intersection between AI and the criminal justice system. In this article, she explores how chatbot-enabled “deep nudes” expose a wider ecosystem of online misogyny and why safeguards must be built in, not bolted on.Dr. Federica Fedorczyk, early career research fellow at the Institute for Ethics in AI, works on AI regulation and ethics with a focus on the intersection between AI and the criminal justice system.

The world’s first dataset aimed at improving the quality of English-to-Malayalam machine translation—a long-overlooked language spoken by more than 38 million people in India—has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey.The world’s first dataset aimed at improving the quality of English-to-Malayalam machine translation—a long-overlooked language spoken by more than 38 million people in India—has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
If you use consumer AI systems, you have likely experienced something like AI “brain fog”: You are well into a conversation when suddenly the AI seems to lose track of the different ideas you have been talking about and how they fit together.If you use consumer AI systems, you have likely experienced something like AI “brain fog”: You are well into a conversation when suddenly the AI seems to lose track of the different ideas you have been talking about and how they fit together.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
AI is already doing a pretty good job at taking on some of the world’s workload. It has produced academic papers, enhanced space exploration and developed medical treatments.AI is already doing a pretty good job at taking on some of the world’s workload.

In the United States, 11% of adults over age 45 self-report some cognitive decline, which may impact their ability to care for themselves and perform tasks such as cooking or paying bills. A team of Washington University in St. Louis researchers has integrated two novel vision-language models that create a potential artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that could help people remain independent.In the United States, 11% of adults over age 45 self-report some cognitive decline, which may impact their ability to care for themselves and perform tasks such as cooking or paying bills.

How do you know if a chatbot is giving the correct answer? This is an important question for companies that use large language models to communicate with their customers. The Dutch company AFAS was using chatbots to generate answers, which had to be checked by a human employee before being sent to the customer.How do you know if a chatbot is giving the correct answer?

It won’t be easy for Big Tech companies to win the hearts and minds of Americans who are angered about massive artificial intelligence data centers sprouting up in their neighborhoods, straining electricity grids and drawing on local reservoirs.It won’t be easy for Big Tech companies to win the hearts and minds of Americans who are angered about massive artificial intelligence data centers sprouting up in their neighborhoods, straining electricity grids and drawing on local reservoirs.Business[#item_full_content]
Aran Nayebi jokes that his robot vacuum has a bigger brain than his two cats. But while the vacuum can only follow a preset path, Zoe and Shira leap, play and investigate the house with real autonomy.Aran Nayebi jokes that his robot vacuum has a bigger brain than his two cats.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader push to feed as much of the military’s data as possible into the developing technology.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader push to feed as much of the military’s data as possible into the developing technology.Business[#item_full_content]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to analyze medical images, materials data and scientific measurements, but many systems struggle when real-world data do not match ideal conditions. Measurements collected from different instruments, experiments or simulations often vary widely in resolution, noise and reliability. Traditional machine-learning models typically assume those differences are negligible—an assumption that can limit accuracy and trustworthiness.Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to analyze medical images, materials data and scientific measurements, but many systems struggle when real-world data do not match ideal conditions.
