The world of artificial intelligence (AI) has recently seen significant advancements in generative models, a type of machine-learning algorithm that “learns” patterns from sets of data in order to generate new, similar sets of data. Generative models are often used for things like drawing images and natural language generation—a famous example are the models used to develop chatGPT.The world of artificial intelligence (AI) has recently seen significant advancements in generative models, a type of machine-learning algorithm that “learns” patterns from sets of data in order to generate new, similar sets of data.

Nearly all the neural networks that power modern artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are based on a 1960s-era computational model of a living neuron. A new model developed at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN) suggests that this decades-old approximation doesn’t capture all the computational abilities that real neurons possess and that this older model is potentially holding back AI development.Nearly all the neural networks that power modern artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are based on a 1960s-era computational model of a living neuron.

Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing new computer tracking technology that takes data from camera footage to detect whether a driver is impaired by alcohol or not when they get behind the wheel.Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing new computer tracking technology that takes data from camera footage to detect whether a driver is impaired by alcohol or not when they get behind the wheel.Automotive[#item_full_content]

Imagine a future where your phone pings with a message that your dead father’s “digital immortal” bot is ready. This promise of chatting with a virtual version of your loved one—perhaps through a virtual reality (VR) headset—is like stepping into a sci-fi movie, both thrilling and a bit eerie.Imagine a future where your phone pings with a message that your dead father’s “digital immortal” bot is ready.

Researchers have developed a new approach to AI security that employs text prompts to better protect AI systems from cyber threats. This method focuses on the creation of adversarial examples to prevent AI from being misled by inputs that are typically undetectable to humans.Researchers have developed a new approach to AI security that employs text prompts to better protect AI systems from cyber threats.
