Artificial intelligence (AI) loves to cheat. When matched against a chess bot, an OpenAI model preferred hacking into its opponent’s system to winning the game fairly, according to a recent study. While chess doesn’t have moral stakes, more serious ethical issues could arise in everything from medicine to self-driving cars as AI becomes even more pervasive. So, what does it mean for AI to be safe?Artificial intelligence (AI) loves to cheat.

People interact with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots, which can be trained to take on certain demographic attributes like age and race, for information, entertainment, technical help, learning, emotional support, and more. But how realistically do these AI personas mimic real people? For some demographics, not well, according to researchers at Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST).People interact with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots, which can be trained to take on certain demographic attributes like age and race, for information, entertainment, technical help, learning, emotional support, and more.

Reasoning large language models (LLMs) are designed to solve complex problems by breaking them down into a series of smaller steps. These powerful models are particularly good at challenging tasks like advanced programming and multistep planning. But developing reasoning models demands an enormous amount of computation and energy due to inefficiencies in the training process. While a few of the high-power processors continuously work through complicated queries, others in the group sit idle.Reasoning large language models (LLMs) are designed to solve complex problems by breaking them down into a series of smaller steps.

Artificial intelligence may be better than people at spotting fake faces in photos—but humans still have the upper hand when those fakes start moving. In a recent study, psychologists and computer scientists at the University of Florida found that AI programs were up to 97% accurate at detecting pictures of deepfake faces. Participants in the study performed no better than chance.Artificial intelligence may be better than people at spotting fake faces in photos—but humans still have the upper hand when those fakes start moving.

The Care Bears taught a generation of kids that sharing is caring, but not everyone has carried this principle into adulthood. Researchers at Michigan State University have found a new angle to promote cooperation: artificial intelligence (AI). The results of this study, titled “Promoting cooperation in the public goods game using artificial intelligent agents,” are published in npj Complexity.The Care Bears taught a generation of kids that sharing is caring, but not everyone has carried this principle into adulthood.

Generative AI is now commonly used in creative fields like marketing and music, but new research from FIU’s College of Business suggests that how creative work is made may matter just as much as the final product, especially when artificial intelligence is involved. The recent study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries reveals that creators who disclose using AI face negative judgments, regardless of their existing reputation.Generative AI is now commonly used in creative fields like marketing and music, but new research from FIU’s College of Business suggests that how creative work is made may matter just as much as the final product, especially when artificial intelligence is involved.
