Can we trust AI to make better decisions than us?

Top AI chatbots are often at risk of making the same decision-making mistakes as humans, says new study OpenAI’s ChatGPT gets billions of monthly visits from people curious about its transformative influence. But does the world’s most popular AI chatbot think more like us than we are aware? Can it be just as biased? A…

Whether democracy can survive AI will depend on us

Democracy’s survival depends on reimagining and rebuilding technologies with democratic accountability at their core. If we leave the decisions about what to build to the titans of tech, the results will be anti-democratic and built for private over public gain, says Gina Neff. What is the best framework for the global governance of AI? How…

Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans

A new approach could enable intuitive robotic helpers for household, workplace, and warehouse settings For a robot, the real world is a lot to take in. Making sense of every data point in a scene can take a huge amount of computational effort and time. Using that information to then decide how to best help…

Machine healing

Artificial intelligence is up to the challenge of reducing human suffering, experts say. Are we? When Adam Rodman was a second-year medical student in the 2000s, he visited the library for a patient whose illness had left doctors stumped. Rodman searched the catalog, copied research papers, and shared them with the team. “It made a…

Robotic helper making mistakes? Just nudge it in the right direction

New research could allow a person to correct a robot’s actions in real-time, using the kind of feedback they’d give another human. Imagine that a robot is helping you clean the dishes. You ask it to grab a soapy bowl out of the sink, but its gripper slightly misses the mark. Using a new framework…
