Recently, stories about AI have been leading the news, including deals about publications licensing their content, or content errors made by AI. Now, a new paper by computer science Ph.D. student Kai Chen, Professor Kristina Lerman at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering along with colleagues, finds that it is fairly easy to teach the dominant large language models to mimic the talking points of ideological partisans, even when shown data on unrelated topics.Recently, stories about AI have been leading the news, including deals about publications licensing their content, or content errors made by AI.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) have developed a robotic system that interactively co-paints with people. Collaborative FRIDA (CoFRIDA) can work with users of any artistic ability, inviting collaboration to create art in the real world.Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) have developed a robotic system that interactively co-paints with people.
