The European Union’s law on artificial intelligence came into force on 1 August. The new AI Act essentially regulates what artificial intelligence can and cannot do in the EU. A team led by computer science professor Holger Hermanns from Saarland University and law professor Anne Lauber-Rönsberg from Dresden University of Technology has examined how the new legislation impacts the practical work of programmers. The results of their analysis will be published in the autumn.The European Union’s law on artificial intelligence came into force on 1 August.

As artificial intelligence agents become more advanced, it could become increasingly difficult to distinguish between AI-powered users and real humans on the internet. In a new white paper, researchers from MIT, OpenAI, Microsoft, and other tech companies and academic institutions propose the use of personhood credentials, a verification technique that enables someone to prove they are a real human online, while preserving their privacy.As artificial intelligence agents become more advanced, it could become increasingly difficult to distinguish between AI-powered users and real humans on the internet.

For symptoms like a runny nose and a cough, some might think it’s a common cold. It doesn’t warrant a doctor’s visit, so they turn to Google and WebMD for additional reassurance. Now, with advancements in AI, some might be tempted to switch from “Dr. Google” to “Dr. ChatGPT,” but can OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot provide accurate medical advice?For symptoms like a runny nose and a cough, some might think it’s a common cold.

In Diplomacy, a strategy game set on the eve of World War I, success hinges not on luck but the ability to negotiate. Players, each representing the armed forces of a European superpower, spend much of their time building trust, forming alliances, and ultimately betraying opponents to gain the most territory. “The most skillful negotiator will climb to victory,” said the game’s maker, the company Avalon Hill.In Diplomacy, a strategy game set on the eve of World War I, success hinges not on luck but the ability to negotiate.

Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, are known to be highly effective in answering a wide range of user queries, generalizing well across many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Recently, some studies have also been exploring the potential of these models for detecting and mitigating robotic system failures.Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, are known to be highly effective in answering a wide range of user queries, generalizing well across many natural language processing (NLP) tasks.
