  • Stanford Engineers Use AI to Bridge Texture Gap in Plant-Based Meats

    In a breakthrough study that could revolutionize the future of plant-based diets, Stanford University engineers have combined mechanical testing with machine learning to more accurately replicate the texture of animal meats in plant-based alternatives. The findings, published in the journal npj Science of Food, suggest that such methods can expedite the development of plant-based meats…

  • Revolutionary AI Model by WSU Speeds Up Disease Detection

    Researchers at Washington State University have developed a groundbreaking “deep learning” artificial intelligence model that can identify pathologies, or signs of disease, in animal and human tissue images much faster and often more accurately than human experts. This development holds the promise of revolutionizing both the pace of disease research and medical diagnostics. “This AI-based…

  • AI Tech FastGlioma Dramatically Improves Brain Tumor Detection During Surgery

    Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking artificial intelligence model, FastGlioma, capable of identifying residual brain tumor tissue with remarkable speed and accuracy. This innovation promises to revolutionize neurosurgery, according to a study published in Nature. FastGlioma, developed by a team from the University of Michigan and the University of California, San Francisco, can detect remaining cancerous…

  • Researchers Uncover Why AI Struggles With Natural Conversations

    In an era where AI systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, researchers at Tufts University have identified a significant gap in AI’s ability to engage in natural human conversation. Human conversation is a complex dance of verbal and non-verbal cues, where individuals intuitively know when to speak and when to listen, often without even realizing it.…

  • Revolutionary AI-Driven Mobile Robots Accelerate Chemical Synthesis Research

    Scientists at the University of Liverpool have made a significant breakthrough in chemical research by developing mobile robots equipped with artificial intelligence. These robots can execute intricate chemical synthesis tasks at a speed and efficiency previously unattainable by human researchers. Published in the journal Nature, the study demonstrates how these advanced robots can autonomously handle…

  • New Study Unveils Generative AI’s Gaps in World Understanding

    A new study reveals that generative AI, despite its impressive capabilities, lacks a coherent understanding of the world. Researchers have uncovered that these models can complete tasks such as providing precise turn-by-turn driving directions in New York City but falter dramatically when faced with new variables, such as detours or road closures. Generative AI, particularly…

  • AI Breakthrough in ICU: Faster Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance and Sepsis

    Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance in intensive care units, revolutionizing the fight against life-threatening sepsis. Antimicrobial resistance, the ability of microorganisms to develop defenses against treatments, remains a formidable challenge for global health care. This resistance is responsible for an estimated 1.2 million deaths worldwide…

  • Researchers Explore AI’s Potential to Revolutionize City Planning

    Traditional city planning methods often require significant technical expertise and extensive manual labor. However, new research led by Virginia Tech promises to transform how cities, especially small to medium-sized ones, manage their urban landscapes. The study examined the potential of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, in assessing human-made environments using…

  • University of Washington Study Finds AI Bias in Hiring Processes Based on Race and Gender

    In an era where artificial intelligence is increasingly integral to hiring processes, a new study by the University of Washington has highlighted significant biases within state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) used for screening resumes. Presenting their findings at the AAAI/ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Society in San Jose on Oct. 22, the researchers…

  • AI Doctors May Improve Patient Satisfaction With Personalized Care and Privacy Controls

    Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine could revolutionize patient care, but to do so effectively, these AI systems might need to get more personal than human doctors. A new study led by Penn State researchers suggests that AI doctors who remember patients’ social details can boost patient satisfaction if they also provide privacy control. Published in…
