A research team at the University of Barcelona (UB) has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) models can detect personality traits from written texts, and for the first time has managed to analyze in detail how these systems make decisions. These results, published in the journal PLOS One, open up new perspectives for understanding how personality manifests itself in natural language and also how more transparent and reliable automatic detection tools can be built.A research team at the University of Barcelona (UB) has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) models can detect personality traits from written texts, and for the first time has managed to analyze in detail how these systems make decisions.

New research has underlined the surprising extent to which pervasive surveillance of people and their habits is powered by computer vision research—and shone a spotlight on how vulnerable individuals and communities are at risk.New research has underlined the surprising extent to which pervasive surveillance of people and their habits is powered by computer vision research—and shone a spotlight on how vulnerable individuals and communities are at risk.Security[#item_full_content]
A better understanding of how the human brain represents objects that exist in nature, such as rocks, plants, animals, and so on, could have interesting implications for research in various fields, including psychology, neuroscience and computer science. Specifically, it could help shed new light on how humans interpret sensory information and complete different real-world tasks, which could also inform the development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that closely emulate biological and mental processes.A better understanding of how the human brain represents objects that exist in nature, such as rocks, plants, animals, and so on, could have interesting implications for research in various fields, including psychology, neuroscience and computer science.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok produced inaccurate and contradictory responses when users sought to fact-check the Israel-Iran conflict, a study said Tuesday, raising fresh doubts about its reliability as a debunking tool.Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok produced inaccurate and contradictory responses when users sought to fact-check the Israel-Iran conflict, a study said Tuesday, raising fresh doubts about its reliability as a debunking tool.Internet[#item_full_content]
A US federal judge has sided with Anthropic regarding training its artificial intelligence models on copyrighted books without authors’ permission, a decision with the potential to set a major legal precedent in AI deployment.A US federal judge has sided with Anthropic regarding training its artificial intelligence models on copyrighted books without authors’ permission, a decision with the potential to set a major legal precedent in AI deployment.Business[#item_full_content]

Time-consuming testing and computer simulations are bottlenecks in the design of new materials. A thesis from the University of Gothenburg aims to develop an AI model that can efficiently determine the durability and strength of woven composite materials.Time-consuming testing and computer simulations are bottlenecks in the design of new materials.
