Samsung’s End-of-Year Sale Cuts Prices on Our Favorite Phones, TVs, and Tablets (2023)
If you’ve been thinking about giving a folding phone a try, Samsung’s big sale might be your chance.
Understanding attention in large language models
Chatbot users often recommend treating a series of prompts like a conversation, but how does the chatbot know what you’re referring back to? A new study reveals the mechanism used by transformer models—like those driving modern chatbots—to decide what to pay attention to.
The Death of E3 Signals the End of Gaming’s Most Extravagant Era
Now that any video game company can go online to hype up its big new releases, no one needs big events anymore.
AI chatbot shows potential as diagnostic partner
Physician-investigators compared a chatbot’s probabilistic reasoning to that of human clinicians. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence could serve as useful clinical decision support tools for physicians.
Artificial intelligence systems found to excel at imitation, but not innovation
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are often depicted as sentient agents poised to overshadow the human mind. But AI lacks the crucial human ability of innovation, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found.
Anthropic leads charge against AI bias and discrimination with new research
Anthropic researchers unveil new techniques to proactively detect AI bias, racism and discrimination by evaluating language models across hypothetical real-world scenarios, promoting AI ethics before deployment.Read More
Google’s App Store Ruled an Illegal Monopoly, as a Jury Sides With Epic Games
A jury in San Francisco unanimously found that Google stifled competition for its app store. A judge will now decide on what fixes to require at the company, but appeals could delay the impact of the case for years.
Portable, non-invasive, mind-reading AI turns thoughts into text
In a world-first, researchers from the GrapheneX-UTS Human-centric Artificial Intelligence Centre at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a portable, non-invasive system that can decode silent thoughts and turn them into text.
Biophysicists Uncover Powerful Symmetries in Living Tissue
After identifying interlocking symmetries in mammalian cells, scientists describe some tissues as liquid crystals. That lays the groundwork for a fluid-dynamic theory of how tissues move.
Using hierarchical generative models to enhance the motor control of autonomous robots
To best move in their surrounding environment and tackle everyday tasks, robots should be able to perform complex motions, effectively coordinating the movement of individual limbs. Roboticists and computer scientists have thus been trying to develop computational techniques that can artificially replicate the process through which humans plan, execute, and coordinate the movements of different …
