A new machine learning model accurately identifies autism in young children using basic medical data, allowing earlier diagnosis and intervention. This tool could make autism screening more accessible, especially in areas with limited specialist services.
A study found that eye-tracking data, analyzed with machine learning, can predict certain personality traits—especially Machiavellianism and Extraversion—with slightly better-than-chance accuracy.
Donald Trump’s speech is uniquely distinct and divisive among modern presidents, marked by shorter, simpler sentences and frequent antagonistic language, especially toward opponents, setting his rhetorical style apart from both Republican and Democratic predecessors.
Experts warn that "model collapse" could occur as AI systems increasingly rely on AI-generated data, leading to diminishing quality.
A study analyzing 4.2 million tweets reveals public excitement over ChatGPT's potential, but also concerns about credibility, bias, and ethics. The research highlights the dual nature of AI advancements, sparking both enthusiasm and skepticism about its societal impact.
MIT researchers found that AI chatbots can reduce belief in conspiracy theories through fact-based conversations. The study suggests AI could be a powerful tool in countering misinformation, though its effectiveness depends on individual openness to change.
A UK study found that most people struggle to detect deepfake videos, even when warned. Only 21.6% correctly identified the fake, while many mistook real videos for fakes, highlighting the challenges of relying on human judgment for deepfake detection.
Most conversational large language models tend to produce left-leaning responses to political questions, with this bias influenced by fine-tuning, while base models generally lacked coherent political preferences.
Scientists used brain scans and AI to predict emotional states during spontaneous thoughts, revealing how our brains process emotions and personal relevance, which could lead to new mental health tools.
A study found that using ChatGPT makes student research easier by reducing mental effort, but leads to weaker arguments compared to Google searches, which encourage deeper engagement and more thorough reasoning despite requiring more cognitive effort.
Humanoid robots, powered by advanced AI, are transitioning from science fiction to real-world applications. With enhanced agility, dexterity, and "embodied intelligence," they could revolutionize industries and homes, though challenges in cost, ethics, and public perception remain.
A study found that while AI tools improve student feedback quality, students tend to rely on AI rather than learn from it. Removing AI support leads to poorer performance, and combining AI with self-regulation strategies offers no significant improvement.
People generally accept robots lying to protect others from emotional harm but disapprove of robots lying about their own capabilities, often blaming developers for unacceptable deceptions.
Researchers developed a model using blood proteins and clinical data to predict Parkinson's disease risk up to 15 years before symptoms appear. This early detection could help prevent or delay the progression of the disease.
Researchers found that students with executive function challenges, such as difficulties with attention and planning, perceive AI tools like ChatGPT as more helpful for schoolwork than their peers, highlighting both potential support benefits and concerns about overreliance.
