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.
AI's reliance on synthetic data can create "intersectional hallucinations," leading to unrealistic and potentially dangerous outcomes. These errors highlight the risks of AI misinterpreting complex human data relationships.
Machine learning algorithms can accurately predict traits like narcissism and intelligence from LinkedIn profiles, according to new research.
Researchers at the University of Florida developed an AI-powered video-processing system that analyzes hand movement tests to detect subtle changes in Parkinson’s disease symptoms, enabling more precise and accessible monitoring of disease progression from home.
A recent study found that AI can accurately detect loneliness in older adults by analyzing both the content and manner of their speech, identifying significant linguistic and non-linguistic features indicative of loneliness.
Caryn Marjorie, a popular Snapchat influencer, launched CarynAI, a chatbot replica of herself, earning $70,000 in its first week. However, she soon shut it down due to the bot's sexually explicit interactions, revealing the darker side of digital clones.
Generative AI improves the creativity, quality, and enjoyment of short stories, especially for less creative writers, but also increases the similarity among stories, potentially reducing collective novelty.
A new study highlights the distinct characteristics of human and machine storytelling. While ChatGPT excels in producing concise, stable retellings, human retellings are marked by creativity, variability, and nuanced use of language.
Researchers developed an AI model that predicts Alzheimer's progression with 78.5% accuracy by analyzing speech patterns from neuropsychological tests, offering a non-invasive early detection method.
Thomas Fuchs argues that true empathy and understanding require human subjectivity and biological embodiment, which AI lacks, cautioning against confusing simulated interactions with genuine human connections.
A machine-learning system can accurately determine an individual's sex from panoramic dental radiographs, achieving up to 96% accuracy for individuals over 16 years old.
Scientists have found that changes in the brain's default mode network can predict dementia with over 80% accuracy up to nine years before diagnosis, outperforming traditional methods.
New research has found that AI-generated jokes were consistently rated funnier than those created by humans.
