A joint essay with Daniel Thilo Schroeder and Jonas R. Kunst, based on a new paper on swarms with 22 authors (including myself) who just published in Science. (A preprinted version is hereand you can see WIRED’s coverage here.) Automated bots spreading misinformation have been a problem since the early days of social media, and…
Agentic AI marks a significant shift in enterprise AI, moving from answering questions to doing real work. And unlike previous technology waves that offered capabilities that teams could leverage, AI agents deliver results. This changes the adoption curve. Once agents demonstrate tangible value at the task level, they proliferate quickly. During our own AI development…
Heterogeneous computing is quietly redefining how AI appears in everyday devices, bringing intelligence closer to where people actually use it rather than keeping it locked in remote cloud systems. As AI expands into physical products, success depends less on raw performance and more on how efficiently CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs work together. Heterogeneous computing manifests…
In addition, employees must be made aware of the risks. Many, including CISOs, do not truly understand the scale of the problem and its broader implications. “Education is essential and doesn’t require a lot of work,” Williams said. Implementing a policy and framework, however, is, and businesses must first decide what risks they are willing…
A study by UC Riverside researchers offers a practical solution to one of artificial intelligence’s toughest challenges by enabling AI systems to reason more like humans, without requiring new training data beyond testing questions. In a preprint paper entitled “Test-Time Matching: Unlocking Compositional Reasoning in Multimodal Models”, assistant professor Yinglun Zhu and students introduce a…
Generative AI is being reshaped how buyers discover information and how marketers design campaigns. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered research summaries have had a huge impact on the effectiveness of long-form content, condensing the buyer’s journey and forcing marketers to rethink how to reach their audiences. Visibility is no longer guaranteed by publication volume. What matters is…
Devising AI personas that are therapists of all types is handy for many reasons. getty In today’s column, I examine in-depth the use of AI personas to craft synthetic mental health therapists. This is readily undertaken via modern-era generative AI and large language models (LLMs). With a few detailed instructions in a prompt, you can…
