Artificial Intelligence

To improve machine learning, the answer might be taking a different approach to robot education rather than just feeding models more data

People may learn from and replicate the skewed perspective of an artificial intelligence algorithm, and they carry this bias beyond their interactions with the AI

In the rush to build and train ever larger AI models, developers have swept up much of the searchable Internet, quite possibly including some of your own public data—and potentially some of your private data as well.

A neural network can identify Wikipedia references that are unlikely to support an article’s claims—and scour the Web for better sources

Companies are training their generative AI models on vast swathes of the Internet—and there’s no real way to stop them

After decades of messy, thoughtless design choices, corporations are using artificial intelligence to sell basic usability back to consumers

For the first time, a machine learning technique has revealed Greek words in CT scans of fragile rolled-up papyrus

Sea ice is changing fast. Are forecasts created by artificial intelligence the best way to keep up with the pace of a warming climate in the far north?

Powering artificial intelligence models takes a lot of energy. A new analysis demonstrates just how big the problem could become

An AI used to build artificial neural networks can also create autonomous robot bodies with remarkable speed 

New “multimodal” AI programs can do much more than respond to text—they also analyze images and chat aloud

ChatGPT and similar AI programs give propagandists and intelligence agents a powerful new tool for interfering in politics. The clock is ticking on learning to spot this disinformation before the 2024 election
