- ChatGPT’s taste for literary nonsense sparks alarm
on March 26, 2026 at 6:30 pmOpenAI’s GPT models can often be fooled into declaring that “pseudo-literary” nonsense is great, a German researcher has found.
- AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice, study finds
on March 26, 2026 at 6:00 pmIn a new study published in Science, Stanford computer scientists showed that artificial intelligence large language models are overly agreeable, or sycophantic, when users solicit advice on interpersonal dilemmas. Even when users described harmful or illegal behavior, the models often affirmed their choices.
- ByteDance rolls out Seedance 2.0 globally, expanding AI video generation
on March 26, 2026 at 2:40 pmChinese artificial intelligence powerhouse and TikTok creator ByteDance has quietly rolled out its latest video generator Seedance 2.0 worldwide, while its US rival OpenAI called time on a similar product.
- Video-based AI gives robots a visual imagination
on March 26, 2026 at 2:20 pmIn a major step toward more adaptable and intuitive machines, Kempner Institute Investigator Yilun Du and his collaborators have unveiled a new kind of artificial intelligence system that lets robots “envision” their actions before carrying them out. The system, which uses video to help robots imagine what might happen next, could […]
- Researchers use machine learning and social network theory to identify formation patterns in digital forums
on March 26, 2026 at 2:00 pmResearchers at Stevens Institute of Technology used machine learning tools and social network theory—the study of how people connect with each other—to better understand how people interact online. Using data from X, formerly Twitter, researchers probed the complex patterns of relationships and shared interests that link people […]
- AI system learns to prevent warehouse robot traffic jams, boosting throughput 25%
on March 26, 2026 at 1:30 pmInside a giant autonomous warehouse, hundreds of robots dart down aisles as they collect and distribute items to fulfill a steady stream of customer orders. In this busy environment, even small traffic jams or minor collisions can snowball into massive slowdowns. To avoid such an avalanche of inefficiencies, researchers from MIT and […]
- Here’s how AI can (and can’t) help you in your job hunt
on March 26, 2026 at 9:34 amFor many job seekers, it might seem like there’s never been a harder time to find a job. Hiring for white-collar jobs has been especially weak, part of what economists call a “low-hire, low-fire” job market in which businesses are largely holding onto their workers while hiring remains sluggish, making it difficult for younger […]
- New AI model uses attention to identify aspect-specific emotion in text
on March 25, 2026 at 11:50 pmResearch in the International Journal of Computational Intelligence Studies has examined how we might improve artificial intelligence (AI) systems for interpreting human emotion in written communication. A new system is capable of identifying sentiment not only in broad terms, positive, negative, and neutral, but also at a more […]
- Asking AI to act like an expert can make it less reliable
on March 25, 2026 at 8:30 pmTo get the best out of AI, some users tell it to provide answers as if it were an expert. Others ask it to adopt a persona, such as a safety monitor, to guide its responses. However, this approach can sometimes hurt performance, according to a study available on the arXiv preprint server.
- Who will govern the AI of the future? A study analyzes who will set the rules
on March 25, 2026 at 8:20 pmAmid the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the debate on how it should be regulated, research by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) examines a key question: who sets the rules and through what infrastructure. The article, published in the journal AI & SOCIETY, is authored by UOC doctoral researcher Andreu […]
