Philosopher from Cambridge Questions If AI Consciousness Can Be Proven

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Jorge Paka

As discussions about conscious AI intensify, a philosopher from Cambridge contends that we don’t have enough evidence to determine if machines can genuinely possess consciousness, much less if they hold moral significance. A philosopher at the University of Cambridge argues that we currently lack sufficient reliable evidence to determine what consciousness truly is, making it […]

AI Glasses Help the Visually Impaired Navigate Safely

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Evelina Jeremias

The .Lumen glasses work like a VR headset, using AI and sensors to guide users with forehead vibrations and directional audio instead of visuals. The device can direct you to a chosen destination, describe nearby objects, and assist you while moving through public spaces. Its AI processes sensor data over 100 times per second to

Japan Makes Fabric that Acts As a Speaker

Computer & Electronics, Tech / Ngoma Manuel

The breakthrough comes from the startup Sensia Technology, which introduced a portable speaker crafted from electronic fabric. Without cones, magnets, or rigid components, the fabric itself produces sound. This design challenges our conventional notion of what a speaker is. The key breakthrough of this Japanese technology is in how it projects sound. Unlike traditional speakers,

Eye Movements Offer Clues to Personality, AI Finds

Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Tech / Ana Manuel

Computers are increasingly able to understand human behavior—and now they can do so by examining how people move their eyes. Researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics have created an AI-based software system that infers personality traits by analyzing eye movement patterns. Just as humans instinctively form impressions of others based on visual

New AI Technology Astonishingly Excels at ‘Understanding’ Human Thoughts

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Eduardo Paulo

A novel AI model is showing an exceptional capacity to predict human behavior by analyzing visual and contextual information in real time. Instead of merely responding to motion, it infers what individuals are likely to do next. Researchers at Texas A&M University’s College of Engineering, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and

AI-Enabled Robotic Hands Become More Dexterous by Imitating Human Hands

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics / Jorge Paka

Entering ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab feels like stepping into a blend of a children’s playroom, a cutting-edge workshop, and a curiosity cabinet. Researchers scatter workbenches with foam blocks, plush toys—including a soft squid—and other colorful objects to teach robots dexterous skills. Sensors, cables, and measuring instruments cover nearly every surface. Meanwhile, skeletal fingers displayed
