Teenagers use generative artificial intelligence for many purposes, including emotional support and social interactions. A study by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers found that parents have little understanding of GAI, how their children use it and its potential risks, and that GAI platforms offer insufficient protection to ensure children’s safety.Teenagers use generative artificial intelligence for many purposes, including emotional support and social interactions.

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver to specific locations—in a tissue sample, for instance—to take images and measure forces at the scale of some of the body’s smallest structures.Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet.

A common challenge for marketers is understanding and engaging with people who have “thin” data profiles, such as donors with little demographic information or brief interaction histories that leave organizations without a clear picture of their interests.A common challenge for marketers is understanding and engaging with people who have “thin” data profiles, such as donors with little demographic information or brief interaction histories that leave organizations without a clear picture of their interests.[#item_full_content]

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used measurements of skin conductance over time to tell emotions apart. Volunteers were shown videos depicting fearful scenes, family bonding, and humor, while their skin conductance trace was recorded.Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used measurements of skin conductance over time to tell emotions apart.

Since 2018, 21 intelligent traffic lights have been in use in Vienna. They recognize when pedestrians are approaching a crossing and automatically request green for them. This reduces the waiting time considerably in some cases.Since 2018, 21 intelligent traffic lights have been in use in Vienna.

Death Clock app predicts the date of your death
A new app called Death Clock predicts the date of its users’ deaths and offers tips on how to push that date back. TechCrunch wrote about an iPod Death Clock app way back in 2006 — but developer Brett Franson told Bloomberg that with an AI trained on more than 1,200 life expectancy studies, his […]
