When AI disagrees, people change how they perceive the technology—not their original view

When an AI chatbot agrees with our reasoning in resolving a social dilemma, we may become more confident in our opinions. But when the chatbot disagrees, we may simply dismiss the challenge rather than reconsider our views. That’s according to new research from the University of Michigan examining how people respond when artificial intelligence weighs …

Bring more intelligence to everyday work with GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna on Amazon Bedrock

GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, giving you more options to match intelligence and efficiency to each workload. The value of AI at scale depends on two dimensions: what a model can do and how often you can put it to use. Greater intelligence expands the complexity a model …

MIT’s tiny flying robot gets 450% faster with AI

A new AI control system lets MIT’s tiny flying robot move with insect-like agility, boosting its speed by about 450 percent and allowing it to pull off 10 somersaults in 11 seconds. The technology could eventually enable miniature robots to search earthquake rubble and navigate dangerous spaces that conventional drones cannot reach.

Scientists develop real-time AI monitoring for an advanced nuclear reactor component

Just as a clogged kitchen sink can bring household routines to a halt, a blockage in a nuclear reactor’s heat exchanger can slow operations and require urgent attention. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are now using artificial intelligence to spot these hidden clogs early. This approach will help molten-salt-cooled …
