From the voice-to-text feature on your phone to the captions that make videos more accessible, speech transcription is already woven into everyday life. Behind the scenes, artificial intelligence is doing the heavy lifting, transforming the spoken word into text with speed and accuracy that once seemed impossible.From the voice-to-text feature on your phone to the captions that make videos more accessible, speech transcription is already woven into everyday life.

Aspiration co-founder to plead guilty to $248M fraud scheme
Joseph Sanberg is accused of falsely inflating revenue and fabricating a letter from Aspiration’s audit committee to obtain loans, which the startup ultimately defaulted on.Joseph Sanberg is accused of falsely inflating revenue and fabricating a letter from Aspiration’s audit committee to obtain loans, which the startup ultimately defaulted on.[#item_full_content]
YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’
The thousands of trucks zipping along U.S. highways are often only about half full — something Oway wants to change with its ‘ride-share for freight’ software.The thousands of trucks zipping along U.S. highways are often only about half full — something Oway wants to change with its ‘ride-share for freight’ software.[#item_full_content]
A British woman suffering from motor neuron disease who lost her ability to speak is once again talking in her own voice thanks to artificial intelligence and a barely audible eight-second clip from an old home video.A British woman suffering from motor neuron disease who lost her ability to speak is once again talking in her own voice thanks to artificial intelligence and a barely audible eight-second clip from an old home video.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
In a major step toward intelligent and collaborative microrobotic systems, researchers at the Research Center for Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes (MAIN) at Chemnitz University of Technology have developed a new generation of autonomous microrobots—termed smartlets—that can communicate, respond, and work together in aqueous environments.In a major step toward intelligent and collaborative microrobotic systems, researchers at the Research Center for Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes (MAIN) at Chemnitz University of Technology have developed a new generation of autonomous microrobots—termed smartlets—that can communicate, respond, and work together in aqueous environments.[#item_full_content]
Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms. However, safely operating around humans requires more than strength or speed. Robots must also sense their surroundings, detect physical contact, and respond quickly. Conventional sensors, especially those embedded in soft materials, often fall short when it comes to real-time, large-area tactile and proximity sensing.Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms.

Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. Behavioral scientists have been studying human altruism for decades, typically using tasks or games rooted in economics.Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships.

Nature, the master engineer, is coming to our rescue again. Inspired by scorpions, scientists have created new pressure sensors that are both highly sensitive and able to work across a wide variety of pressures.Nature, the master engineer, is coming to our rescue again.
