Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

It's not just what is said but how it's articulated that shapes the meaning of human communication, and people use intonation to highlight the most important part of a sentence. Take, for instance, the sentence "Molly mailed a melon." If someone asks, "Who mailed the melon?" people are most likely... Read more

Criminals can use artificial intelligence, specifically large language models, to autonomously carry out ransomware attacks that steal personal files and demand payment, handling every step from breaking into computer systems to writing threatening messages to victims, according to new research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering posted to the arXiv...

Europe's fastest supercomputer Jupiter was inaugurated Friday in Germany with Chancellor Friedrich Merz saying it could help the continent catch up in the global artificial intelligence race.... Read more

As generative AI models move from massive cloud servers to phones and cars, they're stripped down to save power. But what gets trimmed can include the technology that stops them from spewing hate speech or offering roadmaps for criminal activity.... Read more

New research has found similarities in how humans and artificial intelligence integrate two types of learning, offering new insights about how people learn as well as how to develop more intuitive AI tools.... Read more

A team of computer scientists at the University of Toronto recently discovered that a certain type of hardware attack is effective against graphics processing units (GPUs), the core computing engines that power today's artificial intelligence models and cloud-based machine learning services....

Artificial intelligence is growing fast, and so are the number of computers that power it. Behind the scenes, this rapid growth is putting a huge strain on the data centers that run AI models. These facilities are using more energy than ever.... Read more

Disclosure, consent and platform power have become newly invigorated battlefields with the rise of AI.... Read more

Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60% of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure... Read more

Professional sports teams pour millions of dollars into data analytics, using advanced tracking systems to study every sprint, pass, and decision on the field. The results of that analysis, however, are industry secrets, making many sports difficult for researchers to study.... Read more

Johns Hopkins computer scientists have discovered that artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are creating a digital language divide, amplifying the dominance of English and other commonly spoken languages while sidelining minority languages.... Read more

Anthropic announced Tuesday that it raised $13 billion in a funding round valuing the artificial intelligence startup at $183 billion.... Read more

The Emerging Investigator Series by the journal Materials Horizons features outstanding work by young researchers in the field of materials science. In the latest Editorial, Dr. Eunho Lee, an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea, where he leads...

You've probably encountered images in your social media feeds that look like a cross between photographs and computer-generated graphics. Some are fantastical—think Shrimp Jesus—and some are believable at a quick glance—remember the little girl clutching a puppy in a boat during a flood?... Read more

In July, EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS announced their joint initiative to build a large language model (LLM). Now, this model is available and serves as a building block for developers and organizations for future applications such as chatbots, translation systems, or educational tools.... Read more
