Imagen, from Google, is the latest example of an AI seemingly able to produce high-quality images from a text prompt – but they aren't quite ready to replace human illustrators

Google Research has publicized Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion-based generator built on large transformer language models.

MIT researchers claim they've built an AI that can determine a person's race from medical X-Rays. That would be a miraculous breakthrough.

Language processing programs are notoriously hard to interpret, but smaller versions can provide important insights into how they work.

US publishes technical guide to help organizations avoid violating Americans with Disabilities Act

Ai-Da Robot, the world's first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist, recently opened its first solo exhibition at the Concilio Europeo Dell'Arte venue of the InParadiso Gallery. Titled Leaping Into The Metaverse, the exhibition explores the interface between human experience and AI technology.

Long queues at traffic lights could be a thing of the past, thanks to a new artificial intelligence system developed by Aston University researchers.

The company’s AI researchers say its new language model is generating ‘toxic’ results that often reinforce stereotypes.

Earth has a plastics problem, and not many great options to solve it. Plastic is everywhere: food, toiletries, and cleaning products come encased in it; our toothbrushes and children’s toys and disposable coffee lids are made of it; and we carry groceries and dispose of trash in bags of it. It’s impossible to avoid. Yet we don’t often think about the fact that these items will still be around hundreds of years from now.

Students in the MIT course 6.036 (Introduction to Machine Learning) study the principles behind powerful models that help physicians diagnose disease or aid recruiters in screening job candidates. Now, thanks to the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) framework, these students will also stop to ponder the implications of these artificial intelligence tools, which sometimes come with their share of unintended consequences.

AI algorithms can still come loaded with racial bias, even if they're trained on data more representative of different ethnic groups, according to new research. An international team of researchers analyzed how accurate algorithms were at predicting various cognitive behaviors and health measurements from brain fMRI scans, such as memory, mood, and even grip strength. Medical datasets are often skewed – they're not collected from a diverse enough sample size, and certain groups of the population are left out or misrepresented.

Burlington (USA) About two years ago, Scientists from the University of Vermont (UVM) introduced the so-called xenobots. At that time, they still had to be assembled by hand from frog cells according to the blueprints of an AI. The team has now taken a huge step forward by allowing the tiny robots to reproduce themselves, as explained in the research journal PNAS (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2112672118). This represents a groundbreaking breakthrough that will allow robots to be used in humans in the future.

This AI version of Draco gives full-body chills.

An artificial intelligence study on female prevalence in literature finds a staggering discrepancy in female representation.

Earlier this year a chilling academic study was published by researchers at Lancaster University and UC Berkeley. Using a sophisticated form of AI known as a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) they created artificial human faces (i.e. photorealistic fakes) and showed these fakes to hundreds of human subjects along with a mix of real faces. They discovered that this type of AI technology has become so effective, we humans can no longer tell the difference between real people and virtual people (or “veeple” as I call them).

Imagine a future in which lonely people can interact with social bots, based on artificial intelligence (AI), to get the conversations and connection they crave. While it sounds intriguing, a small preliminary study suggests people may not be comfortable with AI companions that look and talk too much like real humans.

Experts from the University of Oxford and the University of Bologna launch 'capAI', a new approach to help businesses comply with future AI regulations in Europe.

Ivan Smirnov, Leading Research Fellow of the Laboratory of Computational Social Sciences at the Institute of Education of HSE University, has created a computer model that can distinguish high academic achievers from lower ones based on their social media posts. The prediction model uses a mathematical textual analysis that registers users’ vocabulary...

Photographs are made with the help of light, but what if portraits of people could be made with the sound of their voices? AI researchers have been working on reconstructing the face of a person using only a short audio recording of that person speaking, and the results are eerily impressive.
