Tech Xplore / Weighing 600 million buildings to help construct a more efficient future
A new study helps show how builders and city planners can minimize the materials needed to accommodate the planet's future population.
Tech Xplore / How randomness tames vast network problems
Networks are everywhere. They connect computers across the internet, carry electricity through power grids and represent transport routes for moving people and goods. Yet many problems that appear to have nothing to do with ...
Tech Xplore / In a shift, OpenAI calls for US rules on powerful AI
OpenAI is calling for binding safety requirements on the most powerful artificial intelligence systems, a reversal for a company that has resisted calls for regulation.
Tech Xplore / Could AI kill humanity? Experts debate risks as advanced models gain hacking capabilities
Stark warnings from artificial intelligence researchers that advanced forms of the technology could wipe out humanity have raised questions over whether governments are moving fast enough to regulate it.
Tech Xplore / New fuzzing tool finds security vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins
WordPress is one of the most widely used content management systems for websites. Plugins are very popular among developers and users because they allow websites to be customized with functionality tailored to individual ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says it blocked misuse of its AI that could have supported biological weapons
Anthropic said Thursday it has blocked efforts by bad actors to use its artificial intelligence models for malicious activity such as cyberattacks, surveillance, and research that could have led to biological weapons.
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robot learns to sprint and perform spin kicks using AI trained on human motion data
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with body shapes and limbs resembling those of humans, could potentially assist people with manual tasks in various real-world settings. So far, however, most of these robots can reliably ...
Tech Xplore / AI could soon infer human intent by sensing "that's not what I meant" through neural feedback
A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects ...
Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired computing: Using noise to regulate information flow in neural networks
Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random "noise"—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can ...
Tech Xplore / Machine learning uncovers how battery interphases can boost lithium-ion transport
Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase. Although typically only a few to ...
Tech Xplore / Training fix could let AI-generated scenes respond properly to a user's controls
AI systems that generate video frame by frame could follow a user's camera commands far more accurately, thanks to a new training method developed by researchers from the University of Surrey and NVIDIA. This improvement ...
