Pentagon-backed Jericho Security raises $15 million to combat deepfake fraud that has already cost North American businesses $200 million in 2025, using AI to detect increasingly convincing voice and video impersonations.Read More
A new autonomous vehicle framework would also make it easier for Tesla and other companies to research domestically made self-driving cars that don’t meet all federal safety standards.
Humans are better than current AI models at interpreting social interactions and understanding social dynamics in moving scenes. Researchers believe this is because AI neural networks were inspired by the infrastructure of the part of the brain that processes static images, which is different from the area of the brain that processes dynamic social scenes.
Coordinating complicated interactive systems, whether it’s the different modes of transportation in a city or the various components that must work together to make an effective and efficient robot, is an increasingly important subject for software designers to tackle. Now, researchers at MIT have developed an entirely new way of approaching these complex problems, using …

Wildfire season is coming. Here are the best disposable face coverings we’ve tested—and where you can find them.
Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine, can leap 10 feet high even though it doesn’t have legs. The researchers made it after watching high-speed video of nematodes …

Essential for many industries ranging from Hollywood computer-generated imagery to product design, 3D modeling tools often use text or image prompts to dictate different aspects of visual appearance, like color and form. As much as this makes sense as a first point of contact, these systems are still limited in their realism due to their …

Researchers from MIT, Yale, McGill University and others found that adapting the Sequential Monte Carlo algorithm can make AI-generated code better.Read More
The future of Elon Musk’s electric car company is murky. It may rest on Tesla’s forthcoming self-driving taxi service, which Musk says will launch this summer.
