Did an AI Music App Just Snitch on the Song of the Summer?
Fenix Flexin’s hit song “Rubberz” has hip-hop fans arguing over whether it was generated by AI. Some say they have proof it’s machine-made, but will anyone care?
Noninvasive AI-based system translates brain signals into written text
Some physical injuries and neurological conditions can temporarily or permanently impair movement, leaving some people unable to speak, type on keyboards or use electronic devices. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), systems that can decode brain activity patterns and convert them into computer commands or written text, could be of great value for paralyzed patients.

AI reduces sensory hallucinations, even at night or in smoke
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI). However, in real-world environments, these models can misinterpret the physical characteristics of sensors, mistakenly identify objects or claim to hear sounds that …

Announcing the Agentic Catalog Experience in Amazon Quick
As organizations embrace AI-powered analytics, the value of a natural language (Text2SQL) answer is only as good as the business context behind it. We’re entering a phase where semantic richness (table and column descriptions, and relationships) must flow directly from where it’s authored in upstream data catalogs and semantic tools into the AI products that …

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket Is About to Crash Into the Moon—and It Could Be Visible From Earth
The impact will kick up a plume of debris so high, it’ll likely be visible through some telescopes. Astronomers will be watching.
The End-to-End Agentic AI Pipeline
In this article, you will learn the seven architectural components that separate a production-grade agentic AI system from a demo script, and how each one…
Dimensionality Reduction Meets Network Science: Sensemaking on UMAP’s kNN Graph
While UMAP is widely used for exploring high-dimensional data, typical workflows focus on its lower-dimensional embedding, largely overlooking the rich k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) graph that UMAP constructs internally. This graph encodes the data manifold in its original high-dimensional space, before the distortion that UMAP’s 2D projection introduces. We demonstrate the untapped potential of this internal representation, …
