Moldova is facing a tide of disinformation unprecedented in complexity and aggression, the head of a new center meant to combat it tells WIRED. And platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Telegram and YouTube could do more. Read more

Deep neural networks are powerful tools that excel in learning complex patterns, but understanding how they efficiently compress input data into meaningful representations remains a challenging research problem. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, and New York University propose a new metric, called local rank, to measure the intrinsic dimensionality of feature manifolds… Read more

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have reshaped the Artificial intelligence (AI)landscape, paving the way for the creation of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). These advanced models expand AI capabilities beyond text, allowing understanding and generation of content like images, audio, and video, signaling a significant leap in AI development.  Despite the remarkable progress… Read more

Agentic systems have evolved rapidly in recent years, showing potential to solve complex tasks that mimic human-like decision-making processes. These systems are designed to act step-by-step, analyzing intermediate stages in tasks like humans do. However, one of the biggest challenges in this field is evaluating these systems effectively. Traditional evaluation methods focus only on the… Read more

ASEAN member states now have a physical CERT facility located in Singapore to exchange threat intel and best practices. Read more

Spirit LM Expressive incorporates emotional cues into its speech generation and can detect and reflect anger, surprise, or joy.Read More Read more

One of the primary challenges in developing advanced text-to-speech (TTS) systems is the lack of expressivity when transcribing and generating speech. Traditionally, large language models (LLMs) used for building TTS pipelines convert speech to text using automatic speech recognition (ASR), process it using an LLM, and then convert the output back to speech via TTS.… Read more

Lauren Greenfield, director of the docuseries Social Studies, says we have to have empathy for teens growing up online. “It’s not fair to ask them to self-regulate when the apps have been designed to be addictive.” Read more

The rapid growth of large language models (LLMs) has brought impressive capabilities, but it has also highlighted significant challenges related to resource consumption and scalability. LLMs often require extensive GPU infrastructure and enormous amounts of power, making them costly to deploy and maintain. This has particularly limited their accessibility for smaller enterprises or individual users… Read more

The study investigates the emergence of intelligent behavior in artificial systems by examining how the complexity of rule-based systems influences the capabilities of models trained to predict those rules. Traditionally, AI development has focused on training models using datasets that reflect human intelligence, such as language corpora or expert-annotated data. This method assumes that intelligence… Read more
