Tech Xplore / What is 'AI-induced psychosis'? Study explains how chatbots may sustain delusions
When generative AI systems produce false information, this is often framed as AI "hallucinating at us"—generating errors that we might mistakenly accept as true. But a new study argues we should pay attention to a more ...
Tech Xplore / How much can an autonomous robotic arm feel like part of the body?
When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, scientists used virtual reality ...
Phys.org / A 'ring of fire' solar eclipse will dazzle people and penguins in Antarctica
The first solar eclipse of the year will grace Antarctica, and only a lucky few will get to bask—or waddle—in its glow.
Medical Xpress / Clinicians as team leads may raise the odds AI improves care, study suggests
