Annually, tens of thousands of wildfires ravage the United States, posing significant threats to people, wildlife, and infrastructure. A percentage of those wildfires are caused by degraded or downed electrical equipment. But what if artificial intelligence (AI) could detect the spark before wildfires even start?Annually, tens of thousands of wildfires ravage the United States, posing significant threats to people, wildlife, and infrastructure.

From creating art and writing code to drafting emails and designing new drugs, generative AI tools are becoming increasingly indispensable for both business and personal use. As demand increases, they will require even more computing power, memory and, therefore, energy. That’s got scientists looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption.From creating art and writing code to drafting emails and designing new drugs, generative AI tools are becoming increasingly indispensable for both business and personal use.

CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has analyzed data from a 10-month trial conducted by global cybersecurity firm eSentire exploring how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 can support cybersecurity analysts to detect and stop threats while reducing fatigue. The preprint results are available on the server ArXiv.CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has analyzed data from a 10-month trial conducted by global cybersecurity firm eSentire exploring how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 can support cybersecurity analysts to detect and stop threats while reducing fatigue.

There is a general assumption that cities are often built on compromise. The more roads paved, the less space there is for walkways, parks, and people. What if this trade-off could be turned on its head?There is a general assumption that cities are often built on compromise.

AI chatbots have advanced rapidly over the past few years, so much so that people are now using them as personal assistants, customer service representatives and even therapists.AI chatbots have advanced rapidly over the past few years, so much so that people are now using them as personal assistants, customer service representatives and even therapists.Robotics[#item_full_content]

Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can’t reliably determine where they are. A new AI-powered solution helps robots overcome this challenge by training them to make movement decisions that also protect their ability to localize. Instead of blindly heading toward a target, the robot evaluates the visual richness of its surroundings and favors routes where it’s less likely to get “lost.”Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can’t reliably determine where they are.

Research conducted at the University of Vaasa paves the way for smart packaging that indicates product condition through color-changing printing inks. Doctoral researcher Jari Isohanni investigated how machine learning could be most effectively utilized in color recognition for smart packaging.Research conducted at the University of Vaasa paves the way for smart packaging that indicates product condition through color-changing printing inks.
