The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is employing artificial intelligence software developed by the data analytics company Palantir to screen grant applications. The system, known as HHS Protect, is designed to flag applications that contain certain keywords and phrases related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as 'gender ideology.' According …
Elon Musk is integrating his artificial intelligence company, xAI, into SpaceX, a move that will consolidate his AI and aerospace ventures under one corporate roof. The acquisition is designed to accelerate the development of AI technologies for SpaceX's ambitious goals, including the Starship program and Mars colonization. This strategic merger is expected to create the …
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is developing an artificial intelligence tool to analyze data from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The tool is designed to generate hypotheses about potential links between vaccines and reported adverse events, aiming to assist medical reviewers in identifying patterns that warrant further investigation. Officials …
A new report reveals that artificial intelligence bots now account for a substantial portion of global internet traffic. This surge is driven by the widespread adoption of large language models and other AI tools that continuously scrape and index web content to train their systems. While this data collection is essential for AI development, it …
French AI startup Mistral AI has unveiled Voxtral, a new open-source model designed for real-time speech-to-speech translation. The model is notable for its speed, reportedly processing audio 2-3 times faster than leading competitors like OpenAI's Whisper, while maintaining high accuracy across several languages. Voxtral operates by directly translating speech to speech without an intermediate text …
A new artificial intelligence startup has reportedly solved four long-standing mathematical problems that had previously resisted resolution. The company, which specializes in developing AI systems for mathematical reasoning, applied its technology to these complex challenges. The breakthroughs span different areas of pure mathematics, demonstrating the AI's ability to navigate abstract concepts and generate novel proofs. …
The article investigates a growing online marketplace where users can commission and purchase custom, non-consensual AI-generated deepfake videos and images of real women, often public figures or social media influencers. It details how these platforms operate, using AI models trained on scraped public photos to create explicit content. The report highlights the significant legal and …
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence model capable of analyzing speech patterns to predict the progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. The model, trained on hundreds of hours of recorded interviews, identifies subtle linguistic changes, such as increased hesitation, grammatical errors, and vocabulary simplification, which often precede clinical diagnosis. In a recent …
A new artificial intelligence weather forecasting model developed by Google DeepMind has demonstrated superior accuracy compared to traditional physics-based systems in global medium-range weather predictions. The model, named GraphCast, uses machine learning to analyze decades of historical weather data and can generate a 10-day forecast in under one minute on a single Google TPU. In …
A new study from the University of Cambridge demonstrates a significant breakthrough in AI-powered protein design. Researchers have developed a machine learning model that can generate novel, functional protein structures with high efficiency, a process that has traditionally been slow and labor-intensive. The system, which leverages a diffusion model similar to those used in image …
