EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL’s Schools of Computer and Communication Sciences and Life Sciences, uses AI models to predict exactly where to stimulate the brain to evoke images of faces and specific objects in the users instead of simply evoking spots of light.EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind.

A researcher analyzing reams of data. A traveler translating a foreign language. A student writing an essay. There are many ways that artificial intelligence has been proven to help an individual in a challenging situation. Northeastern University researcher Lorenzo Torresani wanted to test whether AI can help a group facing a challenge, and he found an interesting dataset with which to evaluate various popular AI models: sports footage.A researcher analyzing reams of data.

Cornell researchers have developed a new type of computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an unusual approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for artificial intelligence and scientific computing.Cornell researchers have developed a new type of computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an unusual approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for artificial intelligence and scientific computing.Hardware[#item_full_content]
AI-generated images are widespread on social media. Starting in August 2026, platforms will be required under the EU AI Act to label certain types of such content. A study by CISPA researcher Sandra Höltervennhoff investigates how users perceive these so-called AI labels and how they influence the credibility of information.AI-generated images are widespread on social media.
