People and institutions are grappling with the consequences of AI-written text. Teachers want to know whether students’ work reflects their own understanding; consumers want to know whether an advertisement was written by a human or a machine.People and institutions are grappling with the consequences of AI-written text.

Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated “personality test” framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their “personality” can be reliably tested and precisely shaped—raising implications for AI safety and ethics.Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated “personality test” framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their “personality” can be reliably tested and precisely shaped—raising implications for AI safety and ethics.Security[#item_full_content]

A University of Cambridge philosopher argues that our evidence for what constitutes consciousness is far too limited to tell if or when artificial intelligence has made the leap—and a valid test for doing so will remain out of reach for the foreseeable future.A University of Cambridge philosopher argues that our evidence for what constitutes consciousness is far too limited to tell if or when artificial intelligence has made the leap—and a valid test for doing so will remain out of reach for the foreseeable future.Business[#item_full_content]
Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, “The cat sat on the box,” is not the same as “The box was on the cat.” Over a long text, like a financial document or a novel, the syntax of these words likely evolves.Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning.

No matter how much data they learn, why do artificial intelligence (AI) models often miss the mark on human intent? Conventional comparison learning, designed to help AI understand human preferences, has frequently led to confusion rather than clarity. A KAIST research team has now presented a new learning solution that allows AI to accurately learn human preferences even with limited data by assigning it a “private tutor.”No matter how much data they learn, why do artificial intelligence (AI) models often miss the mark on human intent?

Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it’s also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one maximum-length ChatGPT query can use about twice as much power as an average U.S. home does in one minute. Multiply that by billions of queries and the enormous training AI models require, and the energy impact is staggering.Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it’s also racking up a massive energy bill.

A cross-institutional team led by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), under the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), have achieved a major breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) hardware by developing a new type of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that uses innovative memristor technology. The work is published in Nature Communications.A cross-institutional team led by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), under the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), have achieved a major breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) hardware by developing a new type of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that uses innovative memristor technology.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok churned out misinformation about Australia’s Bondi Beach mass shooting, misidentifying a key figure who saved lives and falsely claiming that a victim staged his injuries, researchers said Tuesday.Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok churned out misinformation about Australia’s Bondi Beach mass shooting, misidentifying a key figure who saved lives and falsely claiming that a victim staged his injuries, researchers said Tuesday.Internet[#item_full_content]
Tech giants Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Oracle have been taking on enormous new debt in a race to build out their artificial intelligence ventures in the last year, fueling Wall Street fears of a bubble capable of disrupting the entire economy.Tech giants Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Oracle have been taking on enormous new debt in a race to build out their artificial intelligence ventures in the last year, fueling Wall Street fears of a bubble capable of disrupting the entire economy.Business[#item_full_content]
