A world’s first study shows that AI-generated writing continues to display distinct stylistic patterns that set it apart from human prose. Led by researchers at University College Cork (UCC), the research explores whether systems such as ChatGPT can genuinely write in a way that is indistinguishable from people.A world’s first study shows that AI-generated writing continues to display distinct stylistic patterns that set it apart from human prose.

Ph.D. candidate Yuchen Lian (LIACS) wants to understand why human languages look the way they do—and find inspiration to improve AI along the way. She defended her thesis on 12 December.Ph.D. candidate Yuchen Lian (LIACS) wants to understand why human languages look the way they do—and find inspiration to improve AI along the way.

By the end of the year, the carbon footprint of global AI systems for the whole of 2025 could equal that of New York City. At the same time, AI’s thirst for water could rival that of the world’s bottled water market, according to new estimates.By the end of the year, the carbon footprint of global AI systems for the whole of 2025 could equal that of New York City.

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.
