AI is driving the stock market to record highs, dominating countless debates about the value of human labor, and radically rewiring the way schools approach education. It’s also causing a stir in the art world, with media artist Refik Anadol poised to open Dataland, the world’s first museum of AI arts, inside the Frank Gehry-designed Grand L.A. complex in downtown Los Angeles next spring.AI is driving the stock market to record highs, dominating countless debates about the value of human labor, and radically rewiring the way schools approach education.

Contracts written by employers and landlords often result in second parties—employees and tenants—facing unfair terms because these documents contain unreasonable or ambiguous clauses, leaving the second parties vulnerable to unjust expenses or constraints.Contracts written by employers and landlords often result in second parties—employees and tenants—facing unfair terms because these documents contain unreasonable or ambiguous clauses, leaving the second parties vulnerable to unjust expenses or constraints.Business[#item_full_content]
Over the past decades, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of memory devices that can safely and efficiently store increasing amounts of data. However, the different types of devices developed to date come with their own trade-offs, which pose limits on their overall performance and restrict their possible applications.Over the past decades, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of memory devices that can safely and efficiently store increasing amounts of data.

Generative AI has revolutionized how we make and consume images. Tools such as Midjourney, DALL-E and Sora can now conjure anything, from realistic photos to oil-like paintings—all from a short text prompt.Generative AI has revolutionized how we make and consume images.

Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various other tasks. Yet most of these systems still depend on enormous amounts of direct experience—millions of trial-and-error interactions—to achieve even modest competence.Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various other tasks.

Understanding how humans and AI or robotic agents can work together effectively requires a shared foundation for experimentation. A University of Michigan-led team developed a new taxonomy to serve as a common language among researchers, then used it to evaluate current testbeds used to study how human-agent teams will perform.Understanding how humans and AI or robotic agents can work together effectively requires a shared foundation for experimentation.

As people increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) in various areas of life to either save time or improve performance, the influence of AI systems grows—as does the risk of untrustworthy results in high-stakes decision-making, like those involving medical or financial choices.As people increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) in various areas of life to either save time or improve performance, the influence of AI systems grows—as does the risk of untrustworthy results in high-stakes decision-making, like those involving medical or financial choices.Security[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It’s in our phones, schools and homes. For young people, AI shapes how they learn, connect and express themselves. But it also raises real concerns about privacy, fairness and control.Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It’s in our phones, schools and homes.
