The legal profession has already been using artificial intelligence (AI) for several years, to automate reviews and predict outcomes, among other functions. However, these tools have mostly been used by large, well established firms.The legal profession has already been using artificial intelligence (AI) for several years, to automate reviews and predict outcomes, among other functions.

Adversaries can deliberately confuse or even “poison” artificial intelligence (AI) systems to make them malfunction—and there’s no foolproof defense that their developers can employ. Computer scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their collaborators identify these and other vulnerabilities of AI and machine learning (ML) in a new publication.Adversaries can deliberately confuse or even “poison” artificial intelligence (AI) systems to make them malfunction—and there’s no foolproof defense that their developers can employ.

A study published on 10 November 2023, in the Journal of Remote Sensing, has made significant strides in aerial visible-to-infrared image translation. It offers advantages like lower cost, higher efficiency, and enhanced downstream task performance, addressing issues like lack of datasets, methodological surveys, and comprehensive evaluation systems for image quality.A study published on 10 November 2023, in the Journal of Remote Sensing, has made significant strides in aerial visible-to-infrared image translation.

2023 was an inflection point in the evolution of artificial intelligence and its role in society. The year saw the emergence of generative AI, which moved the technology from the shadows to center stage in the public imagination. It also saw boardroom drama in an AI startup dominate the news cycle for several days. And it saw the Biden administration issue an executive order and the European Union pass a law aimed at regulating AI, moves perhaps best described as attempting to bridle a horse that’s already galloping along.2023 was an inflection point in the evolution of artificial intelligence and its role in society.
