Valve has issued new rules about how game developers can publish games that use AI technology on Steam. Writing in a blog post, the company says that it is “making changes to how we handle games that use AI technology” which mean that developers will need to disclose when their games use it. The changes “will enable us to release the vast majority of games that use” AI, Valve’s post says.The changes appear designed to increase transparency around the use of AI in Steam games, while offering protections against the risks…

Research from Karolinska Institutet shows that gender differences in psychological aspects continue to exist in more developed countries, with some disparities increasing and others decreasing. This study highlights the complexity of gender dynamics in relation to societal progress and living standards.A recent study reveals that improved living conditions in countries lead to evolving, yet persistent, psychological gender differences, challenging traditional views on the equality paradox.Psychological gender differences…

LG is going to start selling a compact bipedal robot that can roll around your house freely. The AI-powered robot, which will debut at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, has a wide range of capabilities — from notifying you that you left the AC on while you're away to watching your pet while you're at work. Like stationary smart home aids, like Alexa or Apple HomePod, LG’s robot can also tell you the weather and remind you to take your medications on time.The robot is powered by Qualcomm’s Robotics RB5 Platform, which entails a mix…

Such drawbacks are why a pill to alleviate sickle-cell, if developed, could sweep CRISPR from the playing field. A pill version could also resolve a brewing moral dilemma: Vertex so far has no plans to offer its gene-editing treatment in those countries where sickle-cell is most common. A wide ribbon of lower-income nations across the middle of Africa, including Nigeria and Ghana, account for 80% of sickle-cell cases but, according to US researchers, lack the hospitals, medical expertise, and money to implement this…

Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists reported in a fascinating paper in 2021.On tiny, human-derived brain organoids grown in dishes, two bilaterally symmetrical optic cups were seen to grow, mirroring the development of eye structures in human embryos.This incredible result will help us to better understand the process of eye differentiation and development, as well as eye diseases."Our work highlights the remarkable ability of brain organoids to…

Just days after the US showcased one of their most powerful microwave weapons that can jam signals over a large area, China, is now claiming that they have developed the world's most powerful microwave weapon that can be fitted in a drone, and…

Samsung upgraded from 12MP primary cameras to 50MP cameras with the Galaxy S22. The Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S24 use the same 50MP primary camera introduced with the Galaxy S22.

Researchers have developed a biodegradable patch engineered from human cells that could one day be used to correct infant congenital heart defects, limiting the need for multiple invasive surgeries and outlasting current non-living, non-degradable patches.Globally, congenital heart defects (CHD) affect around nine in every 1,000 babies born. CHD refers to a group of defects present at birth that are caused by the heart not developing properly during pregnancy. While simple defects often don’t need treatment, some complex…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The E-fuel project of VTT and partners has developed a concept for producing electrofuel from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide using a combination of different methods. On Nov. 21, this paraffinic E-fuel was tested for the first time in Finland on a diesel-powered tractor at AGCO Power's Linnavuori factory in Nokia. The new electrofuel is also suitable for vehicles that are difficult to…
