A new study in Denmark used machine learning techniques on photographs of faces of Danish politicians to predict whether their political ideology is left- or right-wing. The accuracy of predictions was 61%. Faces of right-wing politicians were more likely to...

Neuroscientists have discovered that the human brain can detect AI-generated deepfake images better than chance, even when individuals cannot verbally identify which images are real and which are fake. The findings, published in Vision Research, indicate that the brain has...

New research published in Scientific Reports provides insight into how artificial intelligence can impact human communication. The findings indicate that people tend to use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an AI-based chat tool. However,...

The technology to decode our thoughts is drawing ever closer. Neuroscientists at the University of Texas have for the first time decoded data from non-invasive brain scans and used them to reconstruct language and meaning from stories that people hear,...

A series of four experiments has revealed that the same artwork is preferred less and perceived as less creative and awe-inducing when participants are told that it is made by artificial intelligence (AI). These effects were stronger among individuals who...
