For decades, the military has used autonomous weapons such as mines, torpedoes, and heat-guided missiles that operate based on simple reactive feedback without human control. However, artificial intelligence (AI) has now entered the arena of weapons design.For decades, the military has used autonomous weapons such as mines, torpedoes, and heat-guided missiles that operate based on simple reactive feedback without human control.

A new cross-disciplinary study by Washington University in St. Louis researchers has uncovered an unexpected psychological phenomenon at the intersection of human behavior and artificial intelligence: When told they were training AI to play a bargaining game, participants actively adjusted their own behavior to appear more fair and just, an impulse with potentially important implications for real-world AI developers.A new cross-disciplinary study by Washington University in St. Louis researchers has uncovered an unexpected psychological phenomenon at the intersection of human behavior and artificial intelligence: When told they were training AI to play a bargaining game, participants actively adjusted their own behavior to appear more fair and just, an impulse with potentially important implications for real-world AI developers.Other[#item_full_content]
Researchers working on large artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT have vast swaths of internet text, photos and videos to train systems. But roboticists training physical machines face barriers: Robot data is expensive, and because there aren’t fleets of robots roaming the world at large, there simply isn’t enough data easily available to make them perform well in dynamic environments, such as people’s homes.Researchers working on large artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT have vast swaths of internet text, photos and videos to train systems.

Researchers at Yokohama National University have developed a stretchy, high-precision measurement wearable device that combines soft polymer materials and rigid electronic elements. This device can accurately measure inertial data even if it extends up to 2.5 times its length.Researchers at Yokohama National University have developed a stretchy, high-precision measurement wearable device that combines soft polymer materials and rigid electronic elements.

A trio of ethicists at the University of Oxford’s Oxford Internet Institute has published a paper in the journal Royal Society Open Science questioning whether the makers of LLMs have legal obligations regarding the accuracy of the answers they give to user queries.A trio of ethicists at the University of Oxford’s Oxford Internet Institute has published a paper in the journal Royal Society Open Science questioning whether the makers of LLMs have legal obligations regarding the accuracy of the answers they give to user queries.Business[#item_full_content]
Smart cities are crucial for sustainable urban development as they manage growing populations through advanced sensor networks and digital communication systems. Smart monitoring, a key service in these cities, oversees both indoor and outdoor environments. For example, it can enhance road safety for autonomous vehicles by predicting and alerting them about potential accidents at intersections. Indoors, it supports vulnerable individuals by automatically notifying authorities during emergencies.Smart cities are crucial for sustainable urban development as they manage growing populations through advanced sensor networks and digital communication systems.

As the most abundant energy source on earth, solar energy is a promising alternative in the pivot toward clean energy. However, current commercial solar cells are only 20% efficient in converting light into usable energy.As the most abundant energy source on earth, solar energy is a promising alternative in the pivot toward clean energy.
