Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Darmstadt have studied how text-to-image generators deal with gender stereotypes in various languages. The results show that the models not only reflect gender biases, but also amplify them. The direction and strength of the distortion depends on the language in question.Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Darmstadt have studied how text-to-image generators deal with gender stereotypes in various languages.

Engineers at Duke University have constructed a group of AI bots that together can solve complex design problems nearly as well as a fully trained scientist. The results, the researchers say, show how AI might soon automate straightforward but niche design problems, opening opportunities for explosive advancements.Engineers at Duke University have constructed a group of AI bots that together can solve complex design problems nearly as well as a fully trained scientist.

With recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic voices have become increasingly prevalent in our everyday soundscape, raising the question: Can AI voices still be distinguished from human voices, and how attractive do they sound?With recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic voices have become increasingly prevalent in our everyday soundscape, raising the question: Can AI voices still be distinguished from human voices, and how attractive do they sound?Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

Like humans, artificial intelligence learns by trial and error, but traditionally, it requires humans to set the ball rolling by designing the algorithms and rules that govern the learning process. However, as AI technology advances, machines are increasingly doing things themselves. An example is a new AI system developed by researchers that invented its own way to learn, resulting in an algorithm that outperformed human-designed algorithms on a series of complex tasks.Like humans, artificial intelligence learns by trial and error, but traditionally, it requires humans to set the ball rolling by designing the algorithms and rules that govern the learning process.

Self-driving taxis are sweeping the country and will likely start service in Colorado in the coming months. How many of us will be lining up to take a ride? That depends on our level of trust, says Amir Behzadan, a professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, and a fellow in the Institute of Behavioral Science (IBS) at CU Boulder.Self-driving taxis are sweeping the country and will likely start service in Colorado in the coming months.

OpenAI will roll out a new ChatGPT feature in December 2025, allowing verified adults to generate erotic text and engage in romantic or sexual conversations. Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms like Replika and Grok already do this, but OpenAI’s entry marks a turning point.OpenAI will roll out a new ChatGPT feature in December 2025, allowing verified adults to generate erotic text and engage in romantic or sexual conversations.

If you change the timing of a traffic light from 20 seconds to 30 seconds, a new artificial intelligence tool developed by Johns Hopkins University researchers can predict how many more—or how many fewer—accidents will happen at that intersection.If you change the timing of a traffic light from 20 seconds to 30 seconds, a new artificial intelligence tool developed by Johns Hopkins University researchers can predict how many more—or how many fewer—accidents will happen at that intersection.Automotive[#item_full_content]
