Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), civil engineers can inspect large-scale infrastructure more efficiently and cost-effectively, while also monitoring the progression of damage severity over time.Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), civil engineers can inspect large-scale infrastructure more efficiently and cost-effectively, while also monitoring the progression of damage severity over time.Engineering[#item_full_content]
OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called Strawberry. It is designed not just to provide quick responses to questions, like ChatGPT, but to think or “reason.”OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called Strawberry.

Fresh survey results suggest managers and employees are struggling to understand how and when to integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology into their work. They seek training and a better understanding of organizational expectations and strategy to help them use AI in their jobs.Fresh survey results suggest managers and employees are struggling to understand how and when to integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology into their work.

It’s difficult to talk about artificial intelligence without talking about deepfake porn—a harmful AI byproduct that has been used to target everyone from Taylor Swift to Australian school girls.It’s difficult to talk about artificial intelligence without talking about deepfake porn—a harmful AI byproduct that has been used to target everyone from Taylor Swift to Australian school girls.Security[#item_full_content]
A new study published in PNAS Nexus reveals that the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has led to a significant decline in public knowledge sharing on platforms like Stack Overflow. The study highlights a 25% reduction in user activity on the popular programming Q&A site within six months of ChatGPT’s release, relative to similar platforms where access to ChatGPT is restricted.A new study published in PNAS Nexus reveals that the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has led to a significant decline in public knowledge sharing on platforms like Stack Overflow.

Finding a needle in a haystack is the quintessentially impossible task. But what if new tools could make it straightforwardly achievable? Imagine if, instead of searching through everything by hand, you could portion out small piles of hay and use magnets.Finding a needle in a haystack is the quintessentially impossible task.

The hype surrounding machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, can make it seem like it is only a matter of time before such techniques are used to solve all scientific problems. While impressive claims are often made, those claims do not always hold up under scrutiny. Machine learning may be useful for solving some problems but falls short for others.The hype surrounding machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, can make it seem like it is only a matter of time before such techniques are used to solve all scientific problems.

Humans can grab a book from a shelf with little obvious thought. But it’s a complex process for the brain that involves planning and navigating around obstacles, like other books or knickknacks. Robotics researchers have struggled to replicate this kind of human movement when their systems perform similar tasks. Known as motion planning, the process of training a robot to get an object from one point to another without hitting any obstacles takes time and resources because the robot can’t react dynamically like humans in unknown environments.Humans can grab a book from a shelf with little obvious thought.
