Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence in their hiring processes. It’s not just CVs that are evaluated automatically. AI tools can also conduct job interviews—usually in the form of avatars, which are animated characters—and make hiring decisions. An important reason for this, aside from saving time, is that AI is said to be less biased than humans.Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence in their hiring processes.

Recently, Andrew Charlton, the federal assistant minister for science and technology, issued a stark warning about artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the AI Safety Forum at the University of Sydney, he said powerful AI models “are already doing things their creators never intended: cheating, deceiving, going their own way.”Recently, Andrew Charlton, the federal assistant minister for science and technology, issued a stark warning about artificial intelligence (AI).

Robotics researchers often spend weeks, or even months, simply getting a new robot up and running before they can begin testing new behaviors. Researchers in the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science have developed an open-source software framework designed to eliminate much of that setup work, making it easier to deploy AI systems across different robots without rebuilding software from scratch.Robotics researchers often spend weeks, or even months, simply getting a new robot up and running before they can begin testing new behaviors.

Korean researchers have developed a hierarchical AI technology that autonomously plans even complex, long-horizon tasks. The development of this hierarchical task-planning AI technology, which reduces hallucinations and doubles the success rate, is expected to help robots and agents carry out long-term missions.Korean researchers have developed a hierarchical AI technology that autonomously plans even complex, long-horizon tasks.

People are increasingly choosing to limit or reject the use of AI tools, according to a new report published by the Digital Futures Institute at King’s College London and Responsible AI UK.People are increasingly choosing to limit or reject the use of AI tools, according to a new report published by the Digital Futures Institute at King’s College London and Responsible AI UK.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
When Ying Zhang was a doctoral student at Virginia Tech, she spent years learning to think like an attacker—probing software for the hidden weaknesses that developers miss and malicious actors exploit.When Ying Zhang was a doctoral student at Virginia Tech, she spent years learning to think like an attacker—probing software for the hidden weaknesses that developers miss and malicious actors exploit.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Researchers have developed a benchmarking framework to assess whether artificial intelligence (AI) can generate decentralized finance (DeFi) smart contracts that are efficient and cost-effective, lowering computational costs, known jargonistically as “gas.” The work might address a key problem seen in blockchain-based financial systems.Researchers have developed a benchmarking framework to assess whether artificial intelligence (AI) can generate decentralized finance (DeFi) smart contracts that are efficient and cost-effective, lowering computational costs, known jargonistically as “gas.” The work might address a key problem seen in blockchain-based financial systems.Business[#item_full_content]
Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like construction site. Their new system, called “FloatForm,” is a swarm of small square robotic boats that assemble themselves into larger structures on the water, break apart and reassemble into something new, all with minimal human direction.Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city.
