Generative artificial intelligence (AI) might be best known from text or image-creating applications like ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion. But its usefulness beyond that is being shown in more and more different scientific fields.Generative artificial intelligence (AI) might be best known from text or image-creating applications like ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion.

What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first? You’d likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this? Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back?What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first?

Glimpses of the future often emerge at the Game Developers Conference. It’s where indie games generate a buzz or the kernel of a big idea is planted. This year, artificial intelligence took center stage as Nvidia showed off jaw-dropping capabilities of its chipsets and software companies such as Convai and Ubisoft revealed intriguing gameplay opportunities.Glimpses of the future often emerge at the Game Developers Conference.

Google and the XPrize Foundation have launched a competition worth US$5 million (£4 million) to develop real-world applications for quantum computers that benefit society—by speeding up progress on one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, for example. The principles of quantum physics suggest quantum computers could perform very fast calculations on particular problems, so this competition may expand the range of applications where they have an advantage over conventional computers.Google and the XPrize Foundation have launched a competition worth US$5 million (£4 million) to develop real-world applications for quantum computers that benefit society—by speeding up progress on one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, for example.

A new study has shown that people modify their behavior to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible “human work” that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets and needs to be considered when designing their routes.A new study has shown that people modify their behavior to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible “human work” that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets and needs to be considered when designing their routes.[#item_full_content]
A growing number of tools enable users to make online data representations, like charts, that are accessible for people who are blind or have low vision. However, most tools require an existing visual chart that can then be converted into an accessible format.A growing number of tools enable users to make online data representations, like charts, that are accessible for people who are blind or have low vision.
