An international research team involving Konstanz scientist David Garcia warns that the next generation of influence operations may not look like obvious “copy-paste bots,” but like coordinated communities: fleets of AI-driven personas that can adapt in real time, infiltrate groups, and manufacture the appearance of public agreement at scale.An international research team involving Konstanz scientist David Garcia warns that the next generation of influence operations may not look like obvious “copy-paste bots,” but like coordinated communities: fleets of AI-driven personas that can adapt in real time, infiltrate groups, and manufacture the appearance of public agreement at scale.Security[#item_full_content]

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a cornerstone of modern AI technology, driving a thriving field of research in image-related tasks. These systems have found applications in medical diagnosis, automated data processing, computer vision, and various forms of industrial automation, to name a few.Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a cornerstone of modern AI technology, driving a thriving field of research in image-related tasks.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated an estimated three million sexualized images of women and children in a matter of days, researchers said Thursday, revealing the scale of the explicit content that sparked a global outcry.Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated an estimated three million sexualized images of women and children in a matter of days, researchers said Thursday, revealing the scale of the explicit content that sparked a global outcry.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored for specific purposes. As these models are trained on large amounts of texts written by humans, they could exhibit some human-like biases, which are inclinations to prefer specific stimuli, ideas or groups that deviate from objectivity.Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored for specific purposes.

Businesses are acting fast to adopt agentic AI—artificial intelligence systems that work without human guidance—but have been much slower to put governance in place to oversee them, a new survey shows. That mismatch is a major source of risk in AI adoption. In my view, it’s also a business opportunity.Businesses are acting fast to adopt agentic AI—artificial intelligence systems that work without human guidance—but have been much slower to put governance in place to oversee them, a new survey shows.

What if traffic could compute? This may sound strange, but researchers at Tohoku University’s WPI-AIMR have unveiled a bold new idea: using road traffic itself as a computer.What if traffic could compute?
