One of the hallmarks of humanity is language, but now, powerful new artificial intelligence tools also compose poetry, write songs, and have extensive conversations with human users. Tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are widely available at the tap of a button—but just how smart are these AIs?One of the hallmarks of humanity is language, but now, powerful new artificial intelligence tools also compose poetry, write songs, and have extensive conversations with human users.

Audio deepfakes have had a recent bout of bad press after an AI-generated robocall purporting to be the voice of Joe Biden hit up New Hampshire residents, urging them not to cast ballots. Meanwhile, spear-phishers—phishing campaigns that target a specific person or group, especially using information known to be of interest to the target—go fishing for money, and actors aim to preserve their audio likeness.Audio deepfakes have had a recent bout of bad press after an AI-generated robocall purporting to be the voice of Joe Biden hit up New Hampshire residents, urging them not to cast ballots.

A team of computer scientists and engineers at Apple has developed an LLM model that the company claims can interpret both images and data. The group has posted a paper to the arXiv preprint server describing their new MM1 family of multimodal models and test results.A team of computer scientists and engineers at Apple has developed an LLM model that the company claims can interpret both images and data.

Pneumonia, an infection in the lungs that causes difficulty breathing, is most commonly diagnosed through chest X-rays. Typically, those chest X-rays are read by radiologists, but workforce shortages mean that in the future, it could be harder to get a diagnosis in a timely manner.Pneumonia, an infection in the lungs that causes difficulty breathing, is most commonly diagnosed through chest X-rays.

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed an efficient new method to turn blurry images into clear, sharp ones. Called Progressively Deblurring Radiance Field (PDRF), this approach deblurs images 15 times faster than previous methods while also achieving better results on both synthetic and real scenes.Johns Hopkins researchers have developed an efficient new method to turn blurry images into clear, sharp ones.

Imagine yourself glancing at a busy street for a few moments, then trying to sketch the scene you saw from memory. Most people could draw the rough positions of the major objects like cars, people, and crosswalks, but almost no one can draw every detail with pixel-perfect accuracy. The same is true for most modern computer vision algorithms: They are fantastic at capturing high-level details of a scene, but they lose fine-grained details as they process information.Imagine yourself glancing at a busy street for a few moments, then trying to sketch the scene you saw from memory.
