Artificial Intelligence

There 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, […]

Artificial 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, […]

Every year, the spring freeze-thaw cycle leads to significant structural damage to critical infrastructure. Visible cracks in roads, bridges and buildings are the first signs and, if left undetected, can present serious dangers to the […]

If artificial intelligence (AI) systems shape decisions that affect people’s lives, they should do so fairly. This should be a given considering that potential applications for AI include automated hiring systems, as well as tools […]

A billboard tries to sell you something. So does a used car salesman. But no matter how smooth the pitch, you’re quite aware of the profit motive, and you can walk away at any time.This […]

The nonprofit ARC Prize Foundation on May 1, 2026, released the results of a new benchmark: a test of an AI system’s ability to solve a game. The results were striking—humans scored 100%, while the […]

A technology that surpasses the limitations of existing sensors, which fail to distinguish between water and asphalt on dark roads, has emerged to enhance the accuracy of autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. A research team […]
