“His company exploits people for money,” Says Meta’s Chatbot.

Mark Zuckerberg. Credit: MetaMeta's new prototype chatbot (BlenderBot 3) has told the BBC that Mark Zuckerberg is exploiting users for money.Meta claims the chatbot makes use of artificial intelligence and can converse about "nearly any topic".While asking about the chatbot's thoughts on the firm's CEO and founder, it responded to the BBC reporter: "our...

Artificial Intelligence Hears the Sound of Healthy Machines

Examples of abnormal signals. Shown are raw data, log-spectrogram, and obtained coefficient distribution per level for two abnormal measurements of the slider rail 0 at SNR 0 dB. Credit: DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2106598119Sounds offer crucial info regarding how well a device is running. ETH scientists have now developed a new machine learning strategy that detects whether...

Individual Neurons Can Learn by Predicting Future Activity

Credit: Artur LuczakHumans have been trying to comprehend exactly how the brain works and how it obtains information for centuries. While neuroscientists now have a decent understanding of how different parts of the brain work and what their function is, numerous questions remain unanswered; therefore, a unified neuroscience theory is still missing.In recent years,...

AI Shows that the Sahara has Millions of Trees

A Desert Full of LifeSatellite images of the Sahara desert show a dry expanse, the endless rolling dunes we know from movies. Except typical satellite images do not reveal individual trees; however, that doesn't always mean they're not there. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen and NASA trained artificial intelligence to recognize trees and have them take another...

Scientist Advises Caution When Using AI in Mammography

AI making mistakesExamining breast-cancer tumors with artificial intelligence can enhance healthcare efficiency and results. However, specialists must proceed carefully, considering that identical technological jumps previously caused greater false-positive tests rates and over-treatment.That is according to a new article in JAMA Health Forum co-written by Joann G. Elmore, MD, MPH, a scientist at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Rosalinde...

The Negative Aspect of Machine Learning in Healthcare

Assistant Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi analyzes how disguised biases in medical data can jeopardize artificial intelligence approaches.While completing her dissertation in computer science at MIT, Marzyeh Ghassemi wrote numerous papers on how machine learning strategies from artificial intelligence could be applied to medical data to anticipate patient outcomes. "It was not till the end of...

Uncovering the Secrets of the Big Bang With Machine Learning

A quark gluon plasma after the collision of two heavy nuclei. Credit: TU WienCan machine learning be used to reveal the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma?Yes, it can. However, only with advanced new methods.It can hardly be more complicated. Little particles whir around wildly with extremely high energy, many interactions happen in the...

Neuromorphic Chip: Artificial Neurons Identify Biosignals in Real Time

The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZScientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic neurons that can decode brainwaves. The chip uses information recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to determine which regions of the brain cause epileptic...
