OpenAI Foundation, the nonprofit that controls the artificial intelligence company OpenAI and its flagship product ChatGPT, pledged Tuesday to grant out $1 billion over the next year and to build up its capacity as a […]

Researchers have discovered that some of the elements of AI neural networks that contribute to data-privacy vulnerabilities are also key to the performance of those models. The researchers used this new information to develop a […]

Can using a large language model (LLM) make a person more creative? Prior work has shown that using LLMs can make creative outputs more homogeneous, but this homogenization could stem from the specific LLM used […]

During the First World War, the British government was looking for ways to help people stretch their limited food supplies. It found pamphlets from a noted 19th-century herbalist who said rhubarb leaves could be used […]

Buildings researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have released a new AI-driven, autonomous bot that could help speed up the energy modeling process for commercial building construction. Long before construction begins, […]

For 150 years, Major League Baseball (MLB) players and fans have accepted that an umpire missing a few balls and strikes is just part of the game. But this spring, MLB is rolling out an […]

Researchers have identified key components in large language models (LLMs) that play a critical role in ensuring these AI systems provide safe responses to user queries. The researchers used these insights to develop and demonstrate […]

Scientists at the University of Sharjah have developed a new machine learning model capable of predicting whether a driver is likely to be involved in an accident before getting behind the wheel. Road accidents are […]

I remember the first time I attended a linguistics lecture as an undergraduate in Argentina. The lecturer asked a simple question: where does language come from? My instinctive answer was: books.This post was originally published […]

Power usage by AI and data center systems in the U.S. is extraordinary by any measure. The International Energy Agency estimates U.S. AI and data centers used about 415 terawatt hours of power in 2024—more […]
