The privacy concerns around large language models like ChatGPT, Anthropic and Gemini are more serious than just the data the algorithms ingest, according to a Northeastern University computer science expert.The privacy concerns around large language models like ChatGPT, Anthropic and Gemini are more serious than just the data the algorithms ingest, according to a Northeastern University computer science expert.Security[#item_full_content]

A team led by the BRAINS Center for Brain-Inspired Computing at the University of Twente has demonstrated a new way to make electronic materials adapt in a manner comparable to machine learning. Their study, published in Nature Communications, introduces a method for physical learning that does not require software algorithms such as backpropagation. Backpropagation—the optimization method popularized in the 1980s by Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton and colleagues—is at the heart of today’s AI revolution.A team led by the BRAINS Center for Brain-Inspired Computing at the University of Twente has demonstrated a new way to make electronic materials adapt in a manner comparable to machine learning.

When the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act passed in May 2024, it made national headlines. The law was the first of its kind in the U.S. It was a comprehensive attempt to govern “high-risk” artificial intelligence systems across various industries before they could cause real-world harm.When the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act passed in May 2024, it made national headlines.

New York City’s thousands of traffic cameras capture endless hours of footage each day, but analyzing that video to identify safety problems and implement improvements typically requires resources that most transportation agencies don’t have.New York City’s thousands of traffic cameras capture endless hours of footage each day, but analyzing that video to identify safety problems and implement improvements typically requires resources that most transportation agencies don’t have.Automotive[#item_full_content]

The ability to analyze the brain’s neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human intelligence. To make these analyses more precise, it is critical to quickly and accurately interpret the complex signals from many neurons in the brain.The ability to analyze the brain’s neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human intelligence.
