Pilot program integrates AI-generated notes with human community notes on X platformX (formerly Twitter) launched its "Community Notes" program in 2021 to combat misinformation by allowing users to add contextual notes on posts that might be deceptive or lead to misinterpretation. An example would be users labeling an AI-generated video as such, so that other users would not be tricked into... Read more

AI designs new underwater gliders with shapes inspired by marine animalsMarine scientists have long marveled at how animals like fish and seals swim so efficiently despite having different shapes. Their bodies are optimized for efficient aquatic navigation (or hydrodynamics), so they can exert minimal energy when traveling long distances.... Read more

Researchers develop a quality design method for real-time videos from uncrewed aerial vehiclesResearchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed the SPADE (Simulator-assisted PerformAbility Design methodology for UAV-based Systems) approach for accurate quality assessments of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) video surveillance systems. The work is published in the journal Future Generation Computer Systems.... Read more

Motor safety: AI-powered warning system enhances capability to uncover hidden faultsA study, led by Dr. Wentao Huang, overcame a critical gap in five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) diagnostics: conventional methods fail to assess inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) severity. The method integrates two technologies: a real-time tracker that diagnoses faults, and an AI analyzer that processes signals to quantify damage while... Read more

Centaur: AI that thinks like us—and could help explain how we thinkResearchers at Helmholtz Munich have developed an artificial intelligence model that can simulate human behavior with remarkable accuracy. The language model, called Centaur, was trained on more than ten million decisions from psychological experiments—and makes decisions in ways that closely resemble those of real people. This opens new avenues for... Read more

AI might now be as good as humans at detecting emotion, political leaning and sarcasm in online conversationsWhen we write something to another person, over email or perhaps on social media, we may not state things directly, but our words may instead convey a latent meaning—an underlying subtext. We also often hope that this meaning will come through to the reader.... Read more

Striking parallels between biological brains and AI during social interaction suggest fundamental principlesUCLA researchers have made a significant discovery showing that biological brains and artificial intelligence systems develop remarkably similar neural patterns during social interaction. This first-of-its-kind study reveals that when mice interact socially, specific brain cell types synchronize in "shared neural spaces," and AI agents develop analogous patterns when engaging in...

AI-driven lifecycle management for end-of-life household appliancesHousehold appliances need to be refurbished and/or recycled at the end of their useful lives. The KIKERP project (see below) aims to harness artificial intelligence to collect information about used appliances and determine parameters such as model and condition to help decide whether a particular device should be refurbished or...

RisingAttacK: New technique can make AI 'see' whatever you wantResearchers have demonstrated a new way of attacking artificial intelligence computer vision systems, allowing them to control what the AI "sees." The research shows that the new technique, called RisingAttacK, is effective at manipulating all of the most widely used AI computer vision systems.... Read more
