Artificial intelligence could change the world but the dearth of women in the booming sector will undermine pledges for inclusive technology, top computer scientist Wendy Hall told AFP on Friday.Artificial intelligence could change the world but the dearth of women in the booming sector will undermine pledges for inclusive technology, top computer scientist Wendy Hall told AFP on Friday.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Researchers at the University of Maryland and Tilburg University in the Netherlands have produced an AI-driven innovation to reshape how marketers place digital ads. AdGazer, a predictive tool, evaluates both an advertisement and the media environment around it to forecast how much attention viewers will give. The result, they say, is smarter, more effective ad placement.Researchers at the University of Maryland and Tilburg University in the Netherlands have produced an AI-driven innovation to reshape how marketers place digital ads.

A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-led team has developed a new algorithm to help scientists determine direction in complex two-dimensional (2D) data, with potential applications ranging from particle physics to machine learning. The research was published in AIP Advances.A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-led team has developed a new algorithm to help scientists determine direction in complex two-dimensional (2D) data, with potential applications ranging from particle physics to machine learning.

AI systems already decide how ambulances are routed, how supply chains operate and how autonomous drones plan their missions. Yet when those systems make a risky or counterintuitive choice, humans are often expected to accept it without challenge, warns a new study from the University of Surrey.AI systems already decide how ambulances are routed, how supply chains operate and how autonomous drones plan their missions.

Many people use AI chatbots to plan meals and write emails, AI-enhanced web browsers to book travel and buy tickets, and workplace AI to generate invoices and performance reports. However, a new study of the “AI agent ecosystem” suggests that as these AI bots rapidly become part of everyday life, basic safety disclosure is “dangerously lagging.”Many people use AI chatbots to plan meals and write emails, AI-enhanced web browsers to book travel and buy tickets, and workplace AI to generate invoices and performance reports.

Stanford d.school’s Jeremy Utley wants people to stop using AI. Instead, he wants them to work with it. “If you’re ‘using’ AI, I know you’re misusing it,” said Utley, an adjunct professor at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (aka the “d.school”). Utley argues that people fall into two categories when it comes to AI: underperformers who treat it like a tool and outperformers who treat it like a teammate.Stanford d.school’s Jeremy Utley wants people to stop using AI.

A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside these models. The new method could lead to more reliable, more efficient, and less computationally expensive training of LLMs. But it also exposes potential vulnerabilities.A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside these models.
