Recently, AI agents undergoing tests acted in surprising and concerning ways. This wasn’t supposed to happen, so how worried should we be?
Using AI to learn math concepts can boost understanding. But if used to get quick answers, AI can become a crutch that hurts learning.
Scientists are making advances in decoding animal sounds. That might someday make animal translators a possibility.
An AI-made picture of an animal or flower might seem harmless, but fake images of people or events can spread misinformation.
Sometimes good chatbots and AI agents go rogue. A Regeneron ISEF finalist’s new app helps guard against bots developing dangerous personalities.
Players often upload pictures of landmarks. AI can use these to build a virtual 3-D model of a city, which robots might use like a map to navigate the real thing.
The meal plans that AI made for fictional teens cut an entire meal’s worth of calories per day.
Fake, AI-generated citations have begun disqualifying major science-fair projects. Such ‘ghost’ references even haunt research journals.
A teen’s software could help guard AI that handles sensitive data against sneaky “prompt injection attacks.”
