Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Generative artificial intelligence tools can help design students by making hard tasks easier, cutting down on stress, and allowing the students more time to explore innovative ideas, according to new research I published with my colleagues in the International Journal of Architectural Computing....

Extraterrestrial landers sent to gather samples from the surface of distant moons and planets have limited time and battery power to complete their mission. Aerospace and computer science engineering researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign trained a model to autonomously assess and scoop quickly, then...

OpenAI chief Sam Altman on Friday suggested European regulation could hold back the development of artificial intelligence (AI), while promising the US company would abide by new EU legislation.... Read more

Facial emotion recognition could have broad applications across health care, education, marketing, transportation, and entertainment. It might be used to help monitor patients remotely or in overstretched hospitals or emergency response settings, or patients unable to communicate well for any number of reasons. It could be used to personalize learning,... Read more

Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek upended the global industry and wiped billions of US tech stocks when it unveiled its R1 program, which it claims was built on cheap, less sophisticated Nvidia semiconductors.... Read more

A new study by SRH University emphasizes the benefits of explainable AI systems for the reliable and transparent detection of deepfakes. AI decisions can be presented in a comprehensible way through feature analyses and visualizations, thus promoting trust in AI technologies.... Read more

A frantic race by tech giants to develop ever more powerful artificial intelligence (AI) could have "harmful" effects, leading researcher Yoshua Bengio warned Thursday as scientists marked the start of the Paris global summit on the technology.... Read more

ChatGPT developer OpenAI said Thursday that it would allow some European customers to store and process data from conversations with its chatbots within the European Union, rather than on its infrastructure in the United States or elsewhere.... Read more

My colleagues and I at Purdue University have uncovered a significant imbalance in the human values embedded in AI systems. The systems were predominantly oriented toward information and utility values and less toward prosocial, well-being and civic values.... Read more

Science fiction film and television has long been fascinated by robots. But stories that show us uncannily human cyborgs have often tended to veer towards either comedy or horror. Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" (1927) and Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" (1982) both imagine a world where beautiful female cyborgs threaten to overstep... Read more

Efforts to build artificial intelligence (AI) that could solve all the world's problems at a stroke are "nonsense", leading researcher Michael Jordan told scientists in Paris ahead of next week's global AI summit.... Read more

Over the past decades, computer scientists have created increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, some of which can perform similarly to humans on specific tasks. The extent to which these models truly "think" and analyze information like humans, however, is still a heated topic of discussion.... Read more

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, mechanical engineering, and electronics. The team's machine learning-driven approach serves as a fast-track way to select promising alloy compositions for experimenters to test in labs.... Read more

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems must come with "cast-iron guarantees" against mass harm to humans, especially as the likelihood of their integration into weapons grows, a leading expert has told AFP.... Read more

South Korean ministries and police said Thursday they were blocking DeepSeek's access to their computers, after the Chinese AI startup did not respond to a data watchdog request about how it manages user information.... Read more
