The realm of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as natural language processing (NLP) models and computer vision algorithms, has seen significant advancements in recent years. These improvements are largely attributed to the exponential growth of training datasets, comprising extensive collections of images and texts sourced from various online platforms. However, when it comes to datasets
Generative AI, unlike its predecessors, has the unique ability to create novel content across various mediums such as text, video, images, and music. This innovation allows AI to break free from traditional rules and patterns, opening up a world of possibilities. The implications of generative AI are vast and far-reaching, with the potential to revolutionize
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has decided to pause its plans to utilize personal data for training its artificial intelligence technology in Europe. This decision came after the social media giant faced privacy complaints from a Vienna-based privacy campaign group. Complaints from the European Center for Digital Rights The European Center for Digital Rights, also
Justina Jong’s shocking discovery that she was being paid less than a male colleague for the same job at Apple came from an unexpected source: an office printer. This revelation sparked a lawsuit alleging that Apple systematically paid thousands of women less than men. Jong, a training instructor in Apple’s marketing department, found a W-2
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the field of mapping three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images captured by multiple cameras. This breakthrough has the potential to greatly enhance the navigation capabilities of autonomous vehicles, making them safer and more efficient on the road. One of the latest techniques developed by
Amazon recently announced that it is adding $1.4 billion to a fund aimed at preserving and building more affordable housing in regions where the company has major corporate offices. This new sum is in addition to the $2.2 billion already invested by Amazon to help create or preserve 21,000 affordable housing units in areas such
In our quest to overcome obstacles, we often find ourselves entangled in intricate solutions. However, when we take a step back and analyze the core of the problem, we may discover that simplicity holds the key to success. This was exemplified by a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in their
Italy’s competition authority recently imposed a hefty fine of 3.5 million euros on Meta, the parent company of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. The fine was a result of Meta’s failure to adhere to transparency standards in handling user data and managing account suspensions. The AGCM watchdog criticized Meta for its lack of
The recent research conducted by a team of nuclear scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Nuclear Power Institute of China has unveiled a groundbreaking high-resolution neutronics model that has the potential to significantly improve the production of plutonium-238 (238Pu). This model has shown a remarkable increase in yield, close to 20% in high-flux reactors,
In a recent study conducted by researchers at University College London, the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) were put to the test in terms of rational reasoning. The study found that these advanced AI models, such as GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Google Bard, exhibited a significant level of irrationality when faced with common reasoning tasks.
