A number of major AI services performed poorly in a test of their ability to address questions and concerns about voting and elections. The study found that no model can be completely trusted, but it was bad enough that some got things wrong more often than not. The work was performed by Proof News, a new outlet for data-driven reporting that made its debut more or less simultaneously. Their concern was that AI models will, as their proprietors have urged and sometimes forced, replace ordinary searches and references…

2024 has arrived, and with it, a renewed interest in artificial intelligence, which seems like it’ll probably continue to enjoy at least middling hype throughout the year. Of course, it’s being cheerled by techno-zealot billionaires and the flunkies bunked within their cosy islands of influence, primarily in Silicon Valley – and derided by fabulists who stand to gain from painting the still-fictional artificial general intelligence (AGI) as humanity’s ur-bogeyman for the ages. Both of these positions are exaggerated…

Daydreaming is looking less like a vice and more like a virtue the more that neuroscientists and psychologists dig into the phenomenon.Scientists at Harvard University have now found preliminary evidence that when mice 'daydream' or quietly reflect on something they saw earlier that day, their brains are rewired in a useful way for memory and learning.That hypothesis still needs to be tested in further experiments, but it seems that when mice are shown a black-and-white checkered pattern, they can still visualize the…

Observing a whole pen full of salmon at a fish farm will only tell you so much about their well-being.

It contains a battery, microcontroller and memory card, along with sensors that monitor blood oxygen content, heart rate, activity…
