Vision transformers (ViTs) are powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that can identify or categorize objects in images — however, there are significant challenges related to both computing power requirements and decision-making transparency. Researchers have now developed a new methodology that addresses both challenges, while also improving the ViT’s ability to identify, classify and segment objects …

On the same day, Russia’s FSB intelligence service launched wild claims of NSA and Apple hacking thousands of Russians.

The human brain has been called the most complicated object in the universe. Trying to replicate that still-unmatched capability for computing, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have made a new interface-type memristive device, which their results suggest can be used to build artificial synapses for next-generation neuromorphic computing.

Malaise swept through the company after massive job cuts, mandatory return to the office, and surging emissions despite the company’s pledge to get greener.

The language models behind ChatGPT and other generative AI are trained on written words that have been culled from libraries, scraped from websites and social media, and pulled from news reports and speech transcripts from across the world. There are 250 billion such words behind GPT-3.5, the model fueling ChatGPT, for instance, and GPT-4 is …

A new statement from industry leaders cautions that artificial intelligence poses a threat to humanity on par with nuclear war or a pandemic.

Researchers show how their multilegged walking robot can be steered by inducing a dynamic instability. By making the couplings between segments more flexible, the robot changes from walking straight to moving in a curved path. This work can lead to more energy-efficient and reliable robotic navigation of terrain.
