Artificial Intelligence news

With growing concerns inside as well as outside industry, it is clear that counting on developers to police themselves is not sufficientThe horse has not merely bolted; it is halfway down the road and picking up speed – and no one is sure where it’s heading. The potential benefits of artificial intelligence – such as developing lifesaving drugs – are undeniable. But with the launch of hugely powerful text and image generative models such as ChatGPT-4 and Midjourney, the r

Using holograms, a nanoscale 3D printer can now rapidly fabricate complex items with details smaller than a wavelength of visible light, a new study finds. This research can rapidly manufacture nanotechnological arrays of wires, lenses, rotating magnetic gears, and other structures—suggesting applications in electronics, photonics, microrobotics and more.Currently, the most precise 3D-printing technique for manufacturing nanoscale objects with complex shapes is likely two-photon lithograph

Mainstream adoption of generative AI and conversational bots has left few spaces untouched, even religious communities“Write a sermon in the voice of a rabbi of about 1,000 words that relates the Torah portion Vayigash to intimacy and vulnerability. Cite Brené Brown’s scholarship on vulnerability.” That was the prompt Rabbi Joshua Franklin put in ChatGPT, the results of which he used to deliver a sermon to congregants of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in December 2022

Bryan Caplan was skeptical after AI struggled on his midterm exam. But within months, it had aced the testThe economist Bryan Caplan was sure the artificial intelligence baked into ChatGPT wasn’t as smart as it was cracked up to be. The question: could the AI ace his undergraduate class’s 2022 midterm exam?Caplan, of George Mason University in Virginia, seemed in a good position to judge. He has made a name for himself by placing bets on a range of newsworthy topics, from Donald Trum

With swaths of white collar jobs at risk, the clock is ticking on the development of policy to meet this huge societal challengeElon Musk is not most people’s idea of a classic technophobe, so when the owner of Twitter warns of the dangers of artificial intelligence, it is worth sitting up and taking notice. Fearful that a new generation of ever-smarter machines threatens life on Earth as we know it, Musk was one of many at the cutting edge of technological change calling for a six-month t
