Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated single-shot tensor computing at the speed of light, a remarkable step towards next-generation artificial general intelligence hardware powered by optical computation rather than electronics.Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated single-shot tensor computing at the speed of light, a remarkable step towards next-generation artificial general intelligence hardware powered by optical computation rather than electronics.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]
A pair of swiveling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a VR headset twirling his hands like a magician.A pair of swiveling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a VR headset twirling his hands like a magician.Robotics[#item_full_content]
When it comes to navigating their surroundings, machines have a natural disadvantage compared to humans. To help hone the visual perception abilities they need to understand the world, researchers have developed a novel training dataset for improving spatial awareness in robots.When it comes to navigating their surroundings, machines have a natural disadvantage compared to humans.

Imagine if your bank could move money for you with only the slightest of digital nods for your approval. Or that could tell you that you’re overspending but more importantly know how to address that overspending and put you on better financial footing.Imagine if your bank could move money for you with only the slightest of digital nods for your approval.

Near-infrared (NIR) photon detection and object recognition are crucial technologies for all-weather target identification. Conventional NIR detection systems that rely on photodetectors and von Neumann computing algorithms are energy inefficient. Artificial sensory neurons based on infrared-sensitive volatile memristors offer a promising solution.Near-infrared (NIR) photon detection and object recognition are crucial technologies for all-weather target identification.

Large language models such as GPT-5 and Llama systematically rate speakers of German dialects less favorably than those using Standard German. This is shown by a recent collaborative study between Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the universities of Hamburg and Washington, in which Professor Katharina von der Wense and Minh Duc Bui of JGU played a leading role.Large language models such as GPT-5 and Llama systematically rate speakers of German dialects less favorably than those using Standard German.

Can we really trust artificial intelligence to illustrate our ideas? A team of scientists has examined the capabilities of Midjourney and DALL·E—two Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) software programs—to produce images from simple sentences. The verdict is mixed… between aesthetic feats and beginner’s mistakes, machines still have a long way to go.Can we really trust artificial intelligence to illustrate our ideas?
