Reasoning is an essential process that humans use to draw conclusions and solve problems. There are two main categories of reasoning: deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning involves starting from a general rule or premise and using this rule to draw conclusions about specific cases. On the other hand, inductive reasoning involves generalizing based
The intersection of optical illusions and artificial intelligence (AI) may seem like an unlikely pairing at first glance. However, recent research has delved into this intriguing connection, shedding light on how the human brain processes visual stimuli in the form of optical illusions. These illusions have mesmerized and puzzled us for centuries, tricking our brains
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers made a shocking discovery when they found more than 2,000 web links to suspected child sexual abuse imagery in a dataset used to train popular AI image-generator tools. The LAION research dataset, known for its vast collection of images and captions, has been a key resource for leading AI image-making technologies
The University of Toronto conducted a study that discovered the temporary changes in the way individuals perceive and interact with the real world when using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). Participants in the study exhibited different movement patterns in VR and AR, leading to temporary errors in real-world movements. Those who used VR
In a recent study published in the journal Nature by a team of AI researchers, it was found that popular Language Models (LLMs) exhibit covert racism against individuals who speak African American English (AAE). This study sheds light on the inherent biases embedded in artificial intelligence systems, highlighting the need for further research and development
Ethiopia recently announced that it has successfully doubled its electricity production from the controversial Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile. This achievement comes after the addition of two new turbines, bringing the total electricity generation to 1,550 megawatts. The transition from the construction phase to the operation phase marks a significant milestone
Robots are becoming increasingly important in our daily lives, but in order to truly assist humans in a variety of settings, they need to be able to manipulate objects effectively. The development of cost-effective robotic grippers is crucial for enabling robots to perform dexterous object manipulation tasks. Recently, a team of researchers from Improbable AI
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently determined that workers at a company delivering packages for Amazon are considered employees of the e-commerce giant. This finding directly contradicts Amazon’s claim that it is not responsible for the subcontractor’s staff. The regional director of the NLRB in Los Angeles found merit in accusations made by delivery
In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides, with deep neural networks (DNNs) being widely used to address various real-world tasks. However, as highlighted in a recent study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame, the fairness of these AI models has come under scrutiny. The study, published in
The study conducted by a team of scientists from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory sheds light on the intricate details of the photoelectric effect, originally elucidated by Einstein more than a century ago. This groundbreaking research provides a new perspective on electron-electron interactions, which are vital for various technological applications such as
The Latin American automotive market has seen a significant shift in consumer preferences in recent years, with more and more buyers opting for Chinese-made cars over traditional US- and Brazilian-built models. Claudio Perez, a Chilean truck driver, was initially skeptical when he purchased his first Chinese-made family car, but the combination of price and quick
In a groundbreaking move, US prosecutors have brought forward antitrust charges against RealPage, a property management software company, for allegedly utilizing algorithms to facilitate collusion among landlords. This behavior has reportedly led to increased rental prices and harmed consumers across various markets in the United States. According to the Department of Justice, RealPage has established
The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has made a groundbreaking development in the field of lithium batteries with the creation of SKIER-5, a redox-active metal-organic hybrid electrode material. This new material has been specifically designed to address the limitations of traditional graphite anodes in lithium batteries, especially in freezing conditions as low as minus
The development of self-driving vehicles is rapidly advancing, with emerging networks that collaborate and communicate with each other or infrastructure to make decisions. However, a recent study led by the University of Michigan has shed light on a critical vulnerability – data fabrication attacks. These attacks pose a serious threat to the security and safety
