Researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Maryland recently developed MyTimeMachine (MyTM), a new AI-powered method for personalized age transformation that can make human faces in images or videos appear younger or older, accounting for subjective factors influencing aging.

Say your nephew needs a Christmas present and you vaguely know what he's into these days. A new Gift Finder feature on the Best Buy app lets users ask questions like, "What can I get for a 10-year-old who loves Minecraft?"

Moving in a dense cloud, like throngs of people walking across a crowded public square, 100 drones maneuver through the night sky in Hungary's capital, the result of over a decade of research and experimentation that scientists believe could change the future of unmanned flight.

Alphabet spinout SandboxAQ is advancing large quantitative models to help enterprise AI optimize value creation.

Users can now give ChatGPT a ring and ask questions. (800)-ChatGPT accepts any device that can make calls, even for those without a data plan

Slack is evolving from a simple messaging app into an AI-powered workplace platform where digital agents work alongside humans.

A new approach to landmark retrieval, an area of computer vision that identifies and matches landmark images within a database, is discussed in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology. The new approach taken by Kun Tong and GuoXin Tan of the National Research Center of Cultural Industries at Central China Normal University in Wuhan, improves accuracy and efficiency of image retrieval systems and could help developers navigate advances in computer vision applications such as object recognition, augmented reality, and autonomous vehicle control.

AI chatbots may seem like neutral tools, but a new study from UBC researchers suggests they often contain biases that could shape environmental discourse in unhelpful ways. The paper is published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

The service leverages advanced AI models, including Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4o, with limits.

Ask most major artificial intelligence chatbots, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, to say something cruel or inappropriate, and the system will say it wants to keep things "respectful." These systems, trained on the content of a profusely disrespectful internet, learned what constitutes respect through human training. The standard method, called reinforcement learning from human feedback, or RLHF, has people compare two outputs from the systems and select whichever is better. It's used to improve the quality of responses—including putting up some guardrails around inappropriate outputs.

Salesforce has unveiled Agentforce 2.0, introducing AI agents with human-like reasoning abilities that can autonomously handle complex business tasks, marking a major push into the emerging 'digital labor' market.

In a new study, participants tended to assign greater blame to artificial intelligences (AIs) involved in real-world moral transgressions when they perceived the AIs as having more human-like minds. Minjoo Joo of Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul, Korea, presents these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on December 18, 2024.
