Tesla has recalled 2 million US vehicles over concerns about its autopilot function. Autopilot is meant to help with maneuvers such as steering and acceleration, but still needs input from the driver. It comes just a few days after a whistle-blowing former Tesla employee cast doubt on the safety of the autopilot function.Tesla has recalled 2 million US vehicles over concerns about its autopilot function.

Copy and paste: It’s a simple concept. You define some text or image on your computer, copy it, and paste it where you want it. Now, think of that new leather sofa you crave. Popular augmented reality (AR) apps allow you to cut and paste an image of the sofa into a photo of your living room to see if you like it before buying.Copy and paste: It’s a simple concept.

Chatbot users often recommend treating a series of prompts like a conversation, but how does the chatbot know what you’re referring back to? A new study reveals the mechanism used by transformer models—like those driving modern chatbots—to decide what to pay attention to.Chatbot users often recommend treating a series of prompts like a conversation, but how does the chatbot know what you’re referring back to?

Alone at home, your bones creaky due to old age, you crave a cool beverage. You turn to your robot and say, “Please get me a tall glass of water from the refrigerator.” Your AI-trained companion obliges. Soon, your thirst is quenched.Alone at home, your bones creaky due to old age, you crave a cool beverage.

The troubling presence of racial bias in AI output may be easier to contain than many thought. Scientists at AI research company Anthropic say a little politeness may just do the trick, at least in some instances.The troubling presence of racial bias in AI output may be easier to contain than many thought.

Researchers at Tohoku University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, have shown a proof-of-concept of energy-efficient computer compatible with current AI. It utilizes a stochastic behavior of nanoscale spintronics devices and is particularly suitable for probabilistic computation problems such as inference and sampling.Researchers at Tohoku University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, have shown a proof-of-concept of energy-efficient computer compatible with current AI.

In what GXO Logistics calls “a proof-of-concept pilot,” a human-centric machine by that name is moving tote boxes in a Spanx warehouse in Flowery Branch, Georgia, that is managed by the global, Connecticut-based company. The 5-foot, 9-inch robot does “repetitive tasks” in a warehouse like moving items onto conveyor belts, according to GXO spokeswoman Fallon McLoughlin.In what GXO Logistics calls “a proof-of-concept pilot,” a human-centric machine by that name is moving tote boxes in a Spanx warehouse in Flowery Branch, Georgia, that is managed by the global, Connecticut-based company.
