With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in daily life, software coding has become increasingly automated, with powerful AI systems known as coding agents able to write and revise computer programs almost autonomously. But what happens when an AI agent must contend not just with digital command lines, but with the physical world of robotics?With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in daily life, software coding has become increasingly automated, with powerful AI systems known as coding agents able to write and revise computer programs almost autonomously.

A security research company said Friday it managed to break into OpenAI’s internal systems using the latest software from Anthropic, exposing how quickly the technology can carry out sophisticated cyberattacks.A security research company said Friday it managed to break into OpenAI’s internal systems using the latest software from Anthropic, exposing how quickly the technology can carry out sophisticated cyberattacks.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Rats and mice can scurry through dark, tight spaces with ease—in caves, underground burrows, buildings or sewers. Their superpower is their whiskers. Now, tiny autonomous drones could soon navigate through darkness, dust and smoke using artificial whiskers inspired by these animals. Their small size limits the use of large or heavy sensors for navigation. That’s why researchers at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) have developed a lightweight whisker-based tactile sensor that enables drones to navigate and explore their surroundings through gentle touch.Rats and mice can scurry through dark, tight spaces with ease—in caves, underground burrows, buildings or sewers.

John Tsang, Ph.D., and members of his Yale lab, Jacob Kim and Ao Huang, recently asked whether AI immunologists are ready for prime time. Specifically, they were referring to large language models (LLMs) and whether they are as creative as humans in developing new hypotheses and methods for immunology research.John Tsang, Ph.D., and members of his Yale lab, Jacob Kim and Ao Huang, recently asked whether AI immunologists are ready for prime time.

The debate about AI consciousness is growing in academic articles, newspaper opinion pieces and even among AI bots themselves. I doubt this is a passing wave of interest.The debate about AI consciousness is growing in academic articles, newspaper opinion pieces and even among AI bots themselves.

The debate over potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence has resurfaced in recent weeks, with researchers once again warning that the technology could end humanity and leaders of AI companies suggesting development needed to be slowed.The debate over potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence has resurfaced in recent weeks, with researchers once again warning that the technology could end humanity and leaders of AI companies suggesting development needed to be slowed.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A robot meant to inspect a coastline, a flooded street or a wetland can’t count on one kind of ground. It might need to crawl over a hard surface, climb a bank, scale a curb or a step, then slide into open water, often within the same few feet.A robot meant to inspect a coastline, a flooded street or a wetland can’t count on one kind of ground.
