With 70% of U.S. companies expected to adopt AI by 2030, organizations need to understand and address the key challenges of employee-AI interaction. To shine light on the future of AI in the workplace, Chris McComb and Jon Cagan put human and AI-human “hybrid” teams to the test. In a head-to-head matchup, researchers studied which team could better design a fleet of delivery drones under dynamic design constraints.With 70% of U.S. companies expected to adopt AI by 2030, organizations need to understand and address the key challenges of employee-AI interaction.

AI systems, such as GPT-4, can now learn and use human language, but they learn from astronomical amounts of language input—much more than children receive when learning how to understand and speak a language. The best AI systems train on text with a word count in the trillions, whereas children receive just millions per year.AI systems, such as GPT-4, can now learn and use human language, but they learn from astronomical amounts of language input—much more than children receive when learning how to understand and speak a language.

For a machine learning system comprising multiple machine learning models and input data, researchers at University of Tsukuba developed a theoretical model for evaluating the effect of diversity in machine learning models and input data used in a machine learning system on the reliability of its output.For a machine learning system comprising multiple machine learning models and input data, researchers at University of Tsukuba developed a theoretical model for evaluating the effect of diversity in machine learning models and input data used in a machine learning system on the reliability of its output.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

Sexually graphic “deepfake” images of Taylor Swift went viral on social media last week, fueling widespread condemnation from Swifties, the general public and even the White House.Sexually graphic “deepfake” images of Taylor Swift went viral on social media last week, fueling widespread condemnation from Swifties, the general public and even the White House.Business[#item_full_content]

Land use/land cover (LULC) is a major shaper of the ecological environment. Using remote sensing technology to dynamically monitor LULC and quantitatively extract LULC change information is an important study for coping with global climate change and maintaining the energy balance of the Earth system.Land use/land cover (LULC) is a major shaper of the ecological environment.

A researcher from the New Jersey Institute of Technology has published a perspective paper that examines sentience and its application to artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. Sentience describes the ability to sense and feel, drawing its meaning from the Latin word sentire which means “to feel.” The paper addresses a set of ideological commitments at stake in debates over sentient machines. The author proposes that artificial sentience is both necessary and impossible.A researcher from the New Jersey Institute of Technology has published a perspective paper that examines sentience and its application to artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

Meta announced on Jan. 9, 2024, that it will protect teen users by blocking them from viewing content on Instagram and Facebook that the company deems to be harmful, including content related to suicide and eating disorders. The move comes as federal and state governments have increased pressure on social media companies to provide safety measures for teens.Meta announced on Jan. 9, 2024, that it will protect teen users by blocking them from viewing content on Instagram and Facebook that the company deems to be harmful, including content related to suicide and eating disorders.

Some recent mergers, acquisitions and investments in the business world have highlighted the strategic value of data to companies. These businesses are not just buying assets or market share—they are also acquiring or investing in large, complementary datasets. This process is known in the business world as horizontal integration.Some recent mergers, acquisitions and investments in the business world have highlighted the strategic value of data to companies.

Look up “lifelong learning” online, and you’ll find a laundry list of apps to teach you how to quilt, play chess or even speak a new language. Within the emerging fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous devices, however, “lifelong learning” means something different—and it is a bit more complex. It refers to the ability of a device to continuously operate, interact with and learn from its environment—on its own and in real time.Look up “lifelong learning” online, and you’ll find a laundry list of apps to teach you how to quilt, play chess or even speak a new language.
