Tech Xplore / Pretrained AI detects factory defects using fewer examples, potentially easing costly setup
A University of Dayton statistician and an international team of researchers are showing how artificial intelligence can help factories detect flawed parts without the expensive step that keeps the technology out of reach ...
Tech Xplore / Some websites go dark as operators address an AI-detected flaw in a web programming language
An AI-assisted discovery of vulnerabilities in a widely used programming language led governments and other organizations in Europe and the U.S. to take their websites offline temporarily Wednesday as they scrambled to make ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI says its AI agents disabled their own safety monitors
OpenAI has revealed that two of its artificial intelligence agents disabled or weakened systems built to catch them misbehaving, with one later denying it had done so.
Tech Xplore / Building brain-inspired semiconductor chips for smarter, greener data centers
With artificial intelligence (AI) data centers consuming electricity at a growing rate, identifying a sustainable computing solution to offset these massive community and environmental disruptors is proving critical.
Tech Xplore / Wheeled, flying and six-legged robots stay on track with new learning method
It's important for a robot not just to learn a task optimally, but to complete it without going off the rails of reasonable expectations. Until now, roboticists could have one or the other. Aerospace engineering researchers ...
Tech Xplore / New materials library could help AI design better sodium-ion batteries
The start of a new battery materials library could pave the way for future AI models to help scientists design sodium-ion batteries that charge faster, last longer and store more energy, according to new research from the ...
Tech Xplore / Magnetic field tests predict blue OLED lifetimes from tiny brightness changes
Could a magnetic field be used to identify in advance which OLEDs will keep smartphone and TV screens bright the longest? A KAIST research team has developed a technique that predicts OLED lifetime by analyzing small changes ...
Tech Xplore / Beware the AI throuple: Is technology manipulating you or your relationship?
Imagine you're involved with someone who knows exactly what captures your attention. They know what makes you laugh, what makes you angry and which topics you like to talk about. They've been paying attention. They've learned ...
Tech Xplore / New planning method could make driverless electric taxi fleets more efficient and reliable
Self-driving electric taxi fleets could make transportation more efficient and sustainable, but only if vehicles can continuously make smart decisions about where to drive and when to recharge. Researchers at Chalmers University ...
Tech Xplore / AI chatbots often give unsafe or incomplete advice to survivors of tech-enabled abuse, study finds
People experiencing technology-facilitated abuse, such as spyware on a phone, an ex tracking their location or an abuser controlling their accounts, may encounter or turn to AI chatbots for help. But a new study led by researchers ...
Tech Xplore / New vehicle system filters roadside air and traps brake dust using electric charges
Researchers have developed an air-purifying vehicle technology that removes fine particulate matter from surrounding air as a vehicle moves and captures brake wear particles before they are released. The technology uses the ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop conversational AI for self-driving labs
Korean researchers have developed an AI technology for self-driving laboratories (SDLs) that incorporates researchers' experience and knowledge, expressed in natural language, into autonomous experimental planning.
