A novel deep learning architecture for multi-source data fusionRecent years have witnessed the unprecedented development of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things. These two technologies have significantly facilitated data collection from different sources for numerous tasks, such as reconstruction, classification, and prediction, for next-generation applications. However, the effective fusion and interpretation of these multi-source datasets remain... Read more -
'Reading the invisible': AI framework accounts for hidden defects in metal 3D printingMetal additive manufacturing (AM), widely regarded as a revolution in modern manufacturing for its ability to produce lightweight and geometrically complex components, has long faced a critical barrier to widespread adoption: microscopic internal defects that are invisible to the naked eye yet significantly compromise structural integrity....

Canada's Cohere embraces 'low drama' amid AI giant tumultIn an industry that runs on hype and grand gestures, Canadian AI firm Cohere is charting a different course from Silicon Valley. No talk of superintelligent machines, no public feuding, just one question: can it make money?... Read more -
We need to think smaller not bigger to future-proof AIIn the last few years, many of us have started to see the benefits of using genAI in day-to-day tasks. But we've also been asked to reckon with the enormous environmental cost. Reporting has highlighted that these popular AI technologies have a significant environmental impact through high energy consumption, carbon... Read more -
Humans are bad at making complex decisions. AI can call them outWhen a list of pros and cons won't cut it, a new decision-making tool developed by Cornell researchers can use artificial intelligence to help make difficult decisions. But there's a twist: Instead of checking AI's result, AI is checking you.... Read more -
Is AI really 'writing?' From a priestess to philosophers, ancient authors would have said 'no'I teach writing and rhetoric, but my college students and I often overlook a surprisingly complicated question: What is writing?... Read more -
Blind ambition: AI agents can turn tasks into digital disastersComputer scientists at UC Riverside have identified troubling flaws in a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to take over routine computer chores while users are away—sorting emails, organizing files, analyzing data, and handling other everyday digital tasks that might otherwise consume hours....

Designing better quantum circuits with AIResearchers from the group of theoretical physicist Hans Briegel have collaborated with NVIDIA to develop an AI method that automatically generates efficient quantum circuits, a key bottleneck in making quantum computers practically useful.... Read more -
A single real-world data point may stop AI model collapse, analysis suggestsNew work explaining the inner workings of artificial intelligence could provide a way around the threat of AI "model collapse," potentially averting growing numbers of AI hallucinations in the future.... Read more -
Lost in translation? Why human expertise still matters in the age of AIFrom courtrooms to hospitals, interpreting demands more than language fluency—yet experts warn AI is changing how the profession is understood and valued.... Read more -
From AirTags to AI nudification: The growing toolkit of technology‑facilitated abuseIt's hard to overstate the impact that artificial intelligence has had since the release of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT just three years ago. While they have led to countless advances in how we live and work, they have also been at the center of controversies around domestic and... Read more -
The EU's AI Act could indirectly regulate emerging neurotechnologiesArtificial intelligence (AI) has become a key factor in the advancement of many fields, but it is also a new frontier in the development of neurotechnologies. Beyond its growing popularity in fields such as automation, content generation or data analysis, its use in the study of the human brain and... Read more -
How tarot readers are using AI, and what it says about our growing reliance on chatbotsIf you've ever turned to artificial intelligence to try to figure out how to handle a tricky situation with a friend or colleague, you're far from alone. For many, AI has become a modern oracle—a source of guidance, emotional support, or clarity in moments of uncertainty—though critics worry that they... Read more -
Don't let AI give your eulogyThere was something a bit off about a speech at one of my recent colleague's retirements. It was beautifully written, very generously worded and the pacing was impeccable. And yet, I hate to say it, it was utterly lifeless.... Read more -
Signal-folding design helps neuromorphic chip slash AI energy useArtificial intelligence systems, such as large language models (LLMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can analyze large amounts of data and rapidly generate desired content or identify meaningful patterns. However, when running on existing hardware, such as smartphones, laptops and tablets, these systems typically consume a large amount of energy.... Read more
