As generative AI systems become more deeply woven into the fabric of modern life—drafting text, generating images, summarizing news—debates over who should profit from the technology are intensifying.As generative AI systems become more deeply woven into the fabric of modern life—drafting text, generating images, summarizing news—debates over who should profit from the technology are intensifying.Business[#item_full_content]

For people, matching what they see on the ground to a map is second nature. For computers, it has been a major challenge. A Cornell research team has introduced a new method that helps machines make these connections—an advance that could improve robotics, navigation systems, and 3D modeling.For people, matching what they see on the ground to a map is second nature.

Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide. Instead of using electricity to move information, this new optical chip relies on light to perform complex generative tasks.Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide.

Meta’s decision to end its professional fact-checking program sparked a wave of criticism in the tech and media world. Critics warned that dropping expert oversight could erode trust and reliability in the digital information landscape, especially when profit-driven platforms are mostly left to police themselves.Meta’s decision to end its professional fact-checking program sparked a wave of criticism in the tech and media world.

A new approach is making it easier to visualize lifelike 3D environments from everyday photos already shared online, opening new possibilities in industries such as gaming, virtual tourism and cultural preservation.A new approach is making it easier to visualize lifelike 3D environments from everyday photos already shared online, opening new possibilities in industries such as gaming, virtual tourism and cultural preservation.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

Generative AIs may not be as creative as we assume. Publishing in the journal Patterns, researchers show that when image-generating and image-describing AIs pass the same descriptive scene back and forth, they quickly veer off topic.Generative AIs may not be as creative as we assume.
