- New AI tool predicts airport traffic to avert devastating collisions
on May 8, 2026 at 3:20 pmIn managing airport traffic, small errors can cause catastrophe. A group from the CMU Robotics Institute’s AirLab used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center’s Bridges-2 supercomputer to create World2Rules, an AI that draws from airport data and historical crash reports to help human controllers spot collisions before they happen. […]
- Memristor chip merges memory and computing, cutting AI power use by more than half
on May 8, 2026 at 1:20 pmWith a simple click, your hastily taken photo sharpens, a garbled voice message turns into polished text and a chatbot drafts an email in perfect prose. Today’s digital tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), seem to perform magic on demand.
- A human-inspired pipeline could enhance the training of computer vision models
on May 8, 2026 at 1:20 pmOver the past few decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tackle some tasks exceedingly well. These include computer vision models, systems that can rapidly analyze images and categorize them, recognize objects and faces, or make other accurate predictions.
- Inspired by the brain, researchers build smarter and more efficient computer hardware
on May 7, 2026 at 8:20 pmAs traditional computer chips reach their physical limits and artificial intelligence demands more energy than ever, University of Missouri researchers are rethinking how computers work by taking cues from the human brain. The timing is critical. Energy use from AI data centers is projected to double by the end of the decade, […]
- The AI scientist: Now academic papers can be fully automated, what does this mean for the future of research?
on May 7, 2026 at 8:00 pmUntil recently, AI’s role in research felt like having a useful assistant. It could summarize a paper, clean up a dataset or draft an abstract. Researchers were still in charge of the thinking.
- IMF warns of ‘inevitable’ AI-powered threats to global financial system
on May 7, 2026 at 6:20 pmThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Thursday of the risks to global financial stability posed by cyberattacks powered by advanced artificial intelligence tools, calling for greater international cooperation on the issue.
- AI use surges globally but rich-poor divide widens, Microsoft says
on May 7, 2026 at 6:00 pmGenerative artificial intelligence is being used by 17.8% of the world’s working-age population, but the gap between wealthy and developing nations continues to widen, according to a report published Tuesday by Microsoft.
- Your conversations with AI may not be as private as you think
on May 7, 2026 at 1:40 pmA study conducted by researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute has revealed that ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Grok, and Perplexity AI use different types of trackers from Meta, Google, TikTok and other companies, potentially exposing data about users’ conversations and activity.
- Is Richard Dawkins right about Claude? No—but it’s not surprising AI chatbots feel conscious to us
on May 7, 2026 at 1:40 pmIn recent days, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an op-ed suggesting AI chatbot Claude may be conscious.
- ChatGPT has a goblin problem. It’s bigger than an AI quirk
on May 7, 2026 at 12:00 pmStarting sometime in November, people who used ChatGPT began noticing some peculiar behavior: the AI chatbot would not shut up about goblins. So, OpenAI, the company behind the chatbot, began looking into it.
