Generative AI is best known for creating images and text. Now, it is helping industries make better planning decisions. Georgia Tech researchers have created a new AI model for decision-focused learning (DFL), called Diffusion-DFL. Recent tests showed it makes more accurate decisions than current approaches. Along with optimizing industrial output, the model lowers costs and reduces risk. Experiments also showed it performs across different fields.Generative AI is best known for creating images and text.

Using generative AI to design, train, or perform steps within a machine-learning system is risky, argues computer scientist Micheal Lones in a paper appearing in Patterns. Though large language models (LLMs) could expand the capabilities of machine-learning systems and decrease costs and labor needs, Lones warns that using them reduces transparency and control for the people developing and using these systems and increases the risk of malicious cyberattacks, data leaks, and bias against underrepresented groups.Using generative AI to design, train, or perform steps within a machine-learning system is risky, argues computer scientist Micheal Lones in a paper appearing in Patterns.

AI systems can “learn to seek revenge” because they are able to grasp reciprocating verbal violence when exposed to conflict, new research from Lancaster University shows. In short, AI can give as good as it gets and, eventually, go one step further.AI systems can “learn to seek revenge” because they are able to grasp reciprocating verbal violence when exposed to conflict, new research from Lancaster University shows.

On a Saturday morning, you head to the hardware store. Your neighbors’ Ring cameras film your walk to the car. Your car’s sensors, cameras and microphones record your speed, how you drive, where you’re going, who’s with you, what you say, and biological metrics such as facial expression, weight and heart rate. Your car may also collect text messages and contacts from your connected smartphone.On a Saturday morning, you head to the hardware store. Your neighbors’ Ring cameras film your walk to the car.
