As more people turn to large language models (LLMs) during personal crises, the companies behind them are engineering these AI-powered models to be more personal, empathetic and understanding when prompts indicate a user is in emotional distress.As more people turn to large language models (LLMs) during personal crises, the companies behind them are engineering these AI-powered models to be more personal, empathetic and understanding when prompts indicate a user is in emotional distress.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert. Then, new tools like X-rays and infrared imaging allowed curators to see beneath the surface of a painting and analyze details invisible to the human eye.A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert.

Artificial intelligence can make a scammer sound like your boss, your bank or even someone you love. And as the technology becomes more sophisticated, a University of Missouri cybersecurity expert says spotting a scam isn’t as simple as looking for spelling mistakes.Artificial intelligence can make a scammer sound like your boss, your bank or even someone you love.

In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the eponymous heroine encounters the Red Queen, who involves her in a frantic race. In this curious country, Alice learns, you have to run as fast as you possibly can only to remain in the same place. Christoph Landolt draws on the image of this Red Queen’s Race to describe the situation of software vendors in the AI era. As the cyber capabilities of frontier models continue to grow, the potential for attacks is multiplying at speed too. Using an approach from game theory, Landolt and his co-authors have calculated how the release of new AI models could be sequenced to give software vendors a strategic head start over cybercriminals.In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the eponymous heroine encounters the Red Queen, who involves her in a frantic race.

Deleting a conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant may not erase everything the assistant remembers. Georgia Tech researchers have developed a tool that can recover deleted conversations from AI assistants running on Android phones. The tool, called ORISA, can also rebuild the recovered information into a working AI session.Deleting a conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant may not erase everything the assistant remembers.

As Florida continues to face one of its worst dengue outbreaks in nearly a century, a mosquito trap created by USF startup Digitomy is helping curb the spread of the virus and other mosquito-borne diseases. The smart trap contains patented AI technology and has achieved more than 98% accuracy in identifying mosquito species during laboratory testing.As Florida continues to face one of its worst dengue outbreaks in nearly a century, a mosquito trap created by USF startup Digitomy is helping curb the spread of the virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.
