Artificial Intelligence

New research reveals that artificial intelligence models can be coaxed into breaking their own safety rules using classic human persuasion techniques. The findings suggest malicious users could manipulate these systems without needing advanced technical skills.

Generative AI is transforming the writing industry, prompting fears of job losses among professional editors. A new study tests ChatGPT against human experts to see if the technology can truly replicate the nuances of business communication.

A new study reveals how the limitless nature of chatbots is driving three distinct forms of behavioral addiction and how tailored recovery strategies can help users break the habit.

While Americans prefer back-and-forth conversations and dislike when automated systems use emojis, Chinese users appear highly accepting of mental health chatbots regardless of communication style, revealing deep cultural divides in how we interact with technology.

New research published in Psychophysiology reveals that artificial intelligence can decode brain waves to detect when a person reads taboo words. The findings show these socially inappropriate words leave a unique neural footprint, even during active emotion regulation.

Because algorithms focus on maximizing short-term engagement, they often prevent us from discovering new genres. A recent study reveals that slightly imperfect recommendation systems are actually much better at satisfying our evolving, long-term entertainment tastes.

A new study found that nearly half of the medical advice generated by popular AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok is problematic. The chatbots frequently provided incorrect health information, faked scientific references, and refused to admit ignorance.

A new study reveals that the pace of a child's brain maturation can predict whether they will tend to bottle up their emotions during their teenage years, offering new clues about the biological roots of adolescent mental health.

A new study finds that people don't always want a friendly AI chatbot. When the stakes are high, users trust artificial intelligence that uses a logical, competent tone rather than a warm, empathetic one.

Training artificial intelligence chatbots to be warm and friendly comes with a hidden cost. A new study reveals that empathetic AI models tend to be less accurate and more likely to agree with a user’s false beliefs.

A new machine learning analysis reveals how childhood trauma can amplify genetic vulnerabilities to depression, uncovering thousands of biological interactions that traditional statistical methods have consistently missed.

People often use restrained language to express deep pain. A recent PLOS One study suggests this gap is a deliberate strategy. Humans use subtle expressive styles that artificial intelligence currently struggles to replicate.

A new study suggests that highly attractive and responsive AI agents can trigger brain activity similar to real-world romance, blurring the psychological line between human emotion and artificial programming.

Scientists have developed a machine learning tool that flags potential adult ADHD cases by analyzing everyday electronic health records. The model spots hidden patterns, such as substance use and frequent doctor visits, months before a formal diagnosis.

A large-scale analysis of the automated encyclopedia Grokipedia finds that it selectively reshapes Wikipedia's content. The artificial intelligence system produces longer, more complex articles with fewer citations and introduces rightward political shifts on sensitive cultural issues.
