Artificial intelligence (AI) once seemed like a fantastical construct of science fiction, enabling characters to deploy spacecraft to neighboring galaxies with a casual command. Humanoid AIs even served as companions to otherwise lonely characters. Now, in the very real 21st century, AI is becoming part of everyday life, with tools like chatbots available and useful for everyday tasks like answering questions, improving writing, and solving mathematical equations.Artificial intelligence (AI) once seemed like a fantastical construct of science fiction, enabling characters to deploy spacecraft to neighboring galaxies with a casual command.

The UK government’s goal to increase public-controlled artificial intelligence computing power twentyfold by 2030 would significantly raise electricity demand. Can renewable energy supply meet it—and still have enough left over to electrify sectors like heating and transport, which must be fully decarbonized by 2050?The UK government’s goal to increase public-controlled artificial intelligence computing power twentyfold by 2030 would significantly raise electricity demand.

Whether on your bank’s website or your telephone provider’s help line, interactions between humans and chatbots have become part of our daily lives. But do we trust them? And what factors influence our trust? Researchers at the University of Basel recently examined these questions.Whether on your bank’s website or your telephone provider’s help line, interactions between humans and chatbots have become part of our daily lives.

Filling gaps in data sets or identifying outliers—that’s the domain of the machine learning algorithm TabPFN, developed by a team led by Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter from the University of Freiburg. This artificial intelligence (AI) uses learning methods inspired by large language models. TabPFN learns causal relationships from synthetic data and is therefore more likely to make correct predictions than the standard algorithms that have been used up to now.Filling gaps in data sets or identifying outliers—that’s the domain of the machine learning algorithm TabPFN, developed by a team led by Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter from the University of Freiburg.

In November 2023, the estates of two now-deceased policyholders sued the US health insurer, United Healthcare, for deploying what they allege is a flawed artificial intelligence (AI) system to systematically deny patient claims.In November 2023, the estates of two now-deceased policyholders sued the US health insurer, United Healthcare, for deploying what they allege is a flawed artificial intelligence (AI) system to systematically deny patient claims.Business[#item_full_content]

Whether you’re describing the sound of your faulty car engine or meowing like your neighbor’s cat, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to relay a concept when words don’t do the trick.Whether you’re describing the sound of your faulty car engine or meowing like your neighbor’s cat, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to relay a concept when words don’t do the trick.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

A new approach harnesses machine learning to search for materials to store methane, helping accelerate the adoption of methane as a cleaner alternative fuel for vehicles. The University of Michigan-led study is published in Physical Review Materials.A new approach harnesses machine learning to search for materials to store methane, helping accelerate the adoption of methane as a cleaner alternative fuel for vehicles.

When a renowned Israeli TV journalist lost his ability to speak clearly because of ALS, he thought his career might be over. But now, using artificial-intelligence software that can recreate his widely recognized gravelly voice, Moshe Nussbaum—known to generations of viewers simply as “Nussi”—is making a comeback.When a renowned Israeli TV journalist lost his ability to speak clearly because of ALS, he thought his career might be over.
