After brief training sessions on the textual anomalies typically found in synthetic text (ST), twenty-three postgraduate translation students analysed excerpts of Italian prose and assigned likelihood scores…

We’d also like there to be a way for apps to tell Recall to exclude them by default, which would be useful for password managers, encrypted messaging apps, and any other software where privacy is meant to be the point. Yes, users can choose to exclude these apps from Recall backups themselves. But as with Recall itself, opting in to having that data collected would be preferable to needing to opt out. You need a fingerprint reader or face-scanning camera to get Recall set up, but once it is set up, anyone with your PIN and access to your PC…

Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…

Video generation, a branch of computer vision and machine learning, focuses on creating sequences of images that simulate motion and visual realism over time. It requires models to maintain coherence across frames, capture temporal dynamics, and generate new visuals conditioned on prior frames or inputs. This domain has seen rapid advances, especially with the integration of DL techniques such as diffusion models and transformers. These models have empowered systems to produce increasingly longer and higher-quality video sequences. However, generating coherent frames across extended sequences remains computationally intensive and prone to degradation in quality due to issues like memory limitations and…

With the rise of large language models and generative AI, researchers have spent the past few years figuring out how to apply that technology to robotics. For many, the answer is physical intelligence, the next major breakthrough for the robotics industry. At the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, MIT CSAIL Director Daniela Rus will give a keynote presentation on the topic. Physical Intelligence is achieved when the ability of artificial intelligence to understand text, images, signals, and other information enables physical machines such as robots to better interact with their environments, objects, and…

The “Z” stands for zero downtime, according to IBM Z Chief Product Officer Tina Tarquinio.The z17 model was unveiled during a launch event for IBM Z clients…

In response, also on Monday, the student filed a motion seeking the temporary restraining order, records show.Separately Monday, MIT President Sally Kornbluth sent a letter to the campus community stating that nine people connected to the Cambridge institution have had their visas revoked. At Tuesday’s hearing in federal court in Boston, lawyer Stephen J. Antwine said his client is set to graduate in six weeks and plans to pursue a PhD afterward. He said she found out from MIT that her F1 student visa was terminated on April 4.Antwine argued that the student’s termination in a federal database that maintains…

But the topline figures obscure a fragmented regulatory approach The government wants the UK to provide an agile, adaptive environment for AI developers. Is the existing regulatory framework up to it? Following on from yesterday’s coverage in Computing of Labour Party proposals to manage and regulate AI technology development, the government yesterday set out it’s approach in response to the consultation it published last March. Last years’ white paper focused on an agile, pro-innovation approach to AI regulation. The government made clear that it wanted to regulate with a light touch. A crucial aspect of this light touch regulation was…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Anthropic, the AI company founded by former OpenAI employees, has pulled back the curtain on an unprecedented analysis of how its AI assistant Claude expresses values during actual conversations with users. The research, released today, reveals both reassuring alignment with the company’s goals and concerning edge cases that could help identify vulnerabilities in AI safety measures. The study examined 700,000 anonymized conversations, finding that Claude largely upholds the company’s “helpful, honest, harmless” framework while adapting its values to different contexts —…

An AI doctoral student in California had their SEVIS record — the digital proof of their valid student visa — terminated, putting their immigration status at risk. Speaking to TechCrunch, the student, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal, said they were notified via their college’s international student center that they’d been identified in a criminal records check. The student said that they’d been studying in the U.S. for nearly a decade starting as an undergraduate, and that they have no criminal record. “The most likely cause may be an interaction with the police many years ago, even before I entered graduate…
