To effectively tackle a variety of real-world tasks, robots should be able to reliably grasp objects of different shapes, textures and sizes, without dropping them in undesired locations. Conventional approaches to enhancing the ability of robots to grasp objects work by tightening the grip of a robotic hand to prevent objects from slipping.To effectively tackle a variety of real-world tasks, robots should be able to reliably grasp objects of different shapes, textures and sizes, without dropping them in undesired locations.

Large language models are built with safety protocols designed to prevent them from answering malicious queries and providing dangerous information. But users can employ techniques known as “jailbreaks” to bypass the safety guardrails and get LLMs to answer a harmful query.Large language models are built with safety protocols designed to prevent them from answering malicious queries and providing dangerous information.

Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models. By filtering out potentially harmful knowledge during training, the researchers were able to build models that resist subsequent malicious updates—especially valuable in sensitive domains such as biothreat research.Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models.

Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning. Early models like OpenPose focused on localizing human joints as 2D keypoints in image coordinates. Later, Google came up with Mediapipe, followed by YOLOpose, which gained major attention and is widely adopted due to its efficiency and accuracy.Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning.

OpenAI claims that its new flagship model, GPT-5, marks “a significant step along the path to AGI”—that is, the artificial general intelligence that AI bosses and self-proclaimed experts often claim is around the corner.OpenAI claims that its new flagship model, GPT-5, marks “a significant step along the path to AGI”—that is, the artificial general intelligence that AI bosses and self-proclaimed experts often claim is around the corner.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) system known as “DishBrain” and state-of-the-art RL (reinforcement learning) algorithms react to certain stimuli.Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) system known as “DishBrain” and state-of-the-art RL (reinforcement learning) algorithms react to certain stimuli.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]
