Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It’s in our phones, schools and homes. For young people, AI shapes how they learn, connect and express themselves. But it also raises real concerns about privacy, fairness and control.Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It’s in our phones, schools and homes.

Disaster has just struck, roads are inaccessible, and people need shelter now. Rather than wait days for a rescue team, a fleet of AI-guided drones takes flight carrying materials and the ability to build shelters, reinforce infrastructure, and construct bridges to reconnect people with safety.Disaster has just struck, roads are inaccessible, and people need shelter now.

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.

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, algorithms have been inspired by honeybees’ flight patterns when searching for nectar, ants’ social foraging strategies, the evasive murmurations of birds and fish, and even the growth patterns of slime molds. By modeling these natural processes mathematically, researchers can develop innovative solutions to complex challenges.Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently.

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.
