One of the hottest markets in the artificial intelligence industry is selling chatbots that write computer code.
One Tech Tip: OpenAI adds parental controls to Cha...
OpenAI said Monday it's adding parental controls to ChatGPT that are designed to provide teen users of the popular platform with a safer and more "age-appropriate" experience.
Tiny amphibious soft robot hauls cargo across land...
Could the future of rescue missions and exploration lie in the hands—or rather, the flexible movements—of a swarm of lightweight, soft, and intelligent robots? Imagine swarms of soft-bodied robots working with the coordinated efficiency of an ant colony to...
How jute and paper yarn could shape the future of ...
By combining microwave technology with chemical treatment, Felicia Syrén has explored how renewable materials such as jute and paper yarn can be given new properties—and thus new applications within the textile industry.
More people are using AI in court, not a lawyer. I...
When you don't have the money for a lawyer to represent you in a court case, even judges can understand the temptation to get free help from anywhere—including tapping into generative artificial intelligence (AI).
Generative AI might end up being worthless—and tha...
In the rush to cash in on the generative artificial intelligence gold rush, one possible outcome of AI's future rarely gets discussed: what if the technology never works well enough to replace your co-workers, companies fail to use AI...
Will AI make cheaper personalized insurance premiu...
Insurance is based on a principle of solidarity, but that is now being undermined by the algorithms used to build our profiles.
Germany's Lufthansa to slash 4,000 jobs by 2030
