A #CarnegieMellonUniversity study conducted in collaboration with #Anthropic found that with the right frameworks, #LLMs are capable of simulating real-world #breaches.

The market for computer-generated #art has grown over the past few years, with #algorithm-created works selling at auction houses and galleries worldwide.

This is how #wars are fought now: two $500 #drones just took out a $10 million U.S. Abrams tank; Ukraine is deploying rifle-armed #robot dogs to frontline combat; and more.

#GooglePhotos' #AI-enabled features brings more #creativity to users’ pictures: a ‘#photo-to-#video’ capability turns still pictures into six-second moving clips, while a new remix option allows users to select photos & illustrate them in different styles.

#TableTennis requires a #robot to master a confluence of difficult skills, a domain for developing & evaluating robust learning algorithms that can handle real-time interaction, complex physics, high-level reasoning & the need for adaptive strategies.

A former #Nike executive and an #MIT professor have launched #Cimulate, a new company to help #retailers compete with e-commerce giants by giving them access to cutting-edge #AI and synthetic #data tools.

A #humanoid #robot recently took to the stage at the #VOYAGEXMusicFestival in #China to show off its #keyboarding skills. The bot accompanied #HuYutong’s band for the performance, which showcased just how quickly #robotics are advancing.

#Google revealed that its #LLM-assisted vulnerability discovery framework #discovered a #SecurityFlaw in the #SQLite open-source database engine before it could have been exploited in the wild.

#MIT’s #CSAIL scientists developed a different perspective on #robotic control, #NJF, which gives #robots a kind of bodily #selfawareness. It allows robots to learn how their bodies respond to control commands, solely through #vision.

A team of #MIT researchers has mapped the challenges of #AI in software development, and outlined a research agenda to move the field forward.

Study found a majority of participants actually mentioned how human-like they found the #neurotic #robot, says #Zhang, researcher at the #UniversityofChicago. They found it to be a lot more #relatable.

There's a sweeping new #AI policy blueprint aimed at securing #US dominance in the global AI race, particularly in competition with China. The plan, Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan, will dismantle regulatory barriers & accelerate #innovation.

#MIT’s new #training method doesn't use sensors or onboard control tweaks, but a single #camera that watches the #robot's movements and uses visual data.
