Earlier this week, researcher Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic, saying the firm and its competitors are "gambling with our lives." "We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans," added current Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger in a post on X.
Anthropic said Thursday it shut down multiple cases of state-sponsored surveillance operations that used its artificial intelligence (AI) models and warned that governments and state-aligned actors are increasingly using AI to spy on ethnic minorities and dissidents.
Anthropic said Thursday it has blocked efforts by bad actors to use its artificial intelligence models for malicious activity such as cyberattacks, surveillance, and research that could have led to biological weapons.
OpenAI is calling for binding safety requirements on the most powerful artificial intelligence systems, a reversal for a company that has resisted calls for regulation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with virtual reality (VR) could guide us through tomorrow's cities before they are even built, according to research in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution. Such models could be useful for architects, planners and policymakers.
Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random "noise"—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can adapt to improve the learning capabilities of the networks as a whole.
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), UAE technology company K2 and autonomous systems specialist Alp Autonomy have won the world's first multi-car autonomous race held in Europe after their joint entry, Team Kinetiz, took first place at Italy's Imola Circuit on Sept. 5.
Turbulence can make a flight unpleasant or, in severe cases, dangerous. A turbulence avoidance tool created by researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) is making flights safer by providing pilots with information that can help them avoid turbulence in real time.
Researchers from the European AM2SoftMag project have developed a new iron-based metallic glass that could lead to 3D-printed components for the manufacture of more efficient electric motors. The new alloy, designed by researchers at Saarland University (UdS) in Germany, is free of critical elements with significant social impacts, such as cobalt, and elements with unstable supply chains, such as rare earths. In addition, it can be 3D printed in a fully amorphous state and with a density exceeding 92%, giving it exceptional magnetic properties.
Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase. Although typically only a few to tens of nanometers thick, interphases are among the least understood components of an operating battery cell. Their complex and constantly evolving structures make it challenging to determine how their atomic features and microscopic variations translate into macroscopic battery performance.
A study carried out by the EHU-University of the Basque Country concludes that a more sustainable green hydrogen economy requires a combination of technological improvements and policies that guarantee environmental benefits, economic competitiveness and social responsibility. After analyzing various configurations of H2 production locations and global LOHC-based transport routes, the team concludes that there is no perfect scenario. However, the results show that LOHC technology has significant potential to play a key role in the global green hydrogen trade in the near future. The paper is published in the Chemical Engineering Journal.
Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with researchers at the National Institute of Technology, Kagoshima College, have developed the Anaerobic Baffled Continuous Stirring (ABCS) reactor, a device capable of simultaneously treating solid waste and wastewater from biomanufacturing processes while recovering methane for energy self-sufficiency.
A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects cognitive mismatch between humans and AI through brainwaves, enabling AI systems to revise their actions in real time according to human goals. The achievement is expected to accelerate the shift from AI that follows explicit commands to AI that can infer human intent.
For Nicolas Papernot, the secret to strengthening cybersecurity in the age of AI is transparency—sharing information about threats and allowing researchers to probe these systems before attackers do.
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand a world that is constantly moving. Vehicles change lanes, pedestrians cross streets, and the roadscape can shift from one moment to the next.
Carnegie Mellon University researchers developed a framework to help the United States secure the power infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, all while reducing vulnerabilities in the global supply chains that make that infrastructure possible.
Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising clean-energy technology with the potential to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions if widely adopted. As they generate electricity, the only byproduct of their reactions is water. However, improving their performance depends on developing better materials that can more efficiently transport ions.
A company that helped design how astronauts grow and recycle food in space is now applying that thinking to the critical problem of dairy waste here on Earth.
