From blaming the victim to replying "I have no interest in your life" to suicidal thoughts, AI chatbots can respond unethically when used for therapy.
Some “clicks” made by sperm whales may actually be “clacks,” but marine biologists debate what, if anything, that means.
People who use search engines develop deeper knowledge and are more invested in what they learn than those relying on AI chatbots, a study reports.
Chatbots that dole out fact-laden arguments can sway voters. Those facts don’t have to be true.
A peer-reviewed paper about Chinese startup DeepSeek's models explains their training approach but not how they work through intermediate steps.
Machine learning techniques that make use of tensor networks could manipulate data more efficiently and help open the black box of AI models.
The robot can bend, grasp and carry in ways humans can’t, which could help it navigate spaces too confined for human arms.
The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping health and disease risk.
A new study finds that humans and AI spot different kinds of deepfakes — hinting at the need to team up to fight them.
Researchers used AI-driven virtual players to test more than 100 rule sets, matching gameplay to wear patterns on a Roman limestone board.
