Scientists at TU Delft, the Netherlands, have developed a new algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions. Drones are ideal for reaching and maintaining hard-to-reach infrastructure, like offshore wind turbines. With often harsh weather, limited payload capacity and unpredictable contact with the environment, it is difficult for current drones to operate safely and effectively.Scientists at TU Delft, the Netherlands, have developed a new algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions.

As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed. For the last three decades, search engines have delivered ranked lists of links in response to our queries, and it was our job to search through them to find what we wanted. Now, major search engines use generative AI tools to deliver a single coherent answer, often embedded with a few links. But how does this approach compare with the traditional method? In a comprehensive new study, scientists compared these two approaches to see what we are gaining and losing.As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed.

Generative artificial intelligence, which produces original content by drawing on large existing datasets, has been hailed as a revolutionary tool for lawyers. From drafting contracts to summarizing case law, generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Lexis+ AI promise speed and efficiency.Generative artificial intelligence, which produces original content by drawing on large existing datasets, has been hailed as a revolutionary tool for lawyers.

Technological anxiety is at least as old as the industrial revolution, so the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) products has spurred research and analysis on the impact this technology will have on labor markets. In chapters in a new book, researchers examine how the structure of tasks can facilitate or impede the adoption of genAI, how workers of different types choose to use genAI, and where workers are likely to look for jobs if they are displaced from their work due to genAI. GenAI will likely widen the “cone of automation” by substituting for labor in more complex work or in work that occurs less frequently, the authors conclude.Technological anxiety is at least as old as the industrial revolution, so the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) products has spurred research and analysis on the impact this technology will have on labor markets.
