A new white paper from IEEE Spectrum and Wiley, sponsored by Voxel51, reports that 78% of more than 700 surveyed practitioners already see measurable value from visual and physical AI, while 74% still…
A group of 37 researchers from top universities and tech companies published a paper on ArXiv in May proposing that scientists stop writing papers for humans and instead create 'Agent-Native Research …
IEEE Spectrum's weekly Video Friday roundup features GENE.01, a fully functional humanoid robot developed in six months by Generative Bionics, capable of walking and sensing with a full-body multimoda…
A recent IEEE Spectrum article warns that prompt injection attacks can cause large language models to waste tokens by overthinking, potentially enabling a DDoS-style attack on LLM servers. While moder…
Tensordyne announced its Napier inference processor, which uses logarithmic math to convert matrix multiplications into additions, and said the 3nm TSMC chip is now in production. The company claims t…
Emily M. Bender, lead author of the influential 'Stochastic Parrots' paper, debunked common misconceptions about the term on its five-year anniversary. The paper, which argued that large language mode…
Experts argue that orbital data centers, such as those proposed by Elon Musk's SpaceX and Starcloud, are not viable due to immense engineering challenges, including cooling and mass constraints. A vid…
Princeton researcher Kaushik Sengupta has developed an AI that designs radio-frequency chips from scratch without human templates, producing unconventional layouts resembling QR codes that outperform …
A software engineer with a decade of interview experience reveals that many technical interviews are poorly prepared, biased, and influenced by office politics, often leading to unfair hiring decision…
Isomorphic Labs, a Google DeepMind spinoff, has developed a new AI system called the Isomorphic Drug Design Engine (IsoDDE) to identify hidden binding sites on proteins that standard models like Alpha…
The unemployment rate for recent computer science graduates in the U.S. stands at 6.1 percent, compared to 3.2 percent for philosophy majors, but engineering graduates rank among the top fields when f…
Researchers and advocates are raising concerns that the AI industry is failing to systematically measure how the technology affects human well-being, even as it rapidly deploys tools that reshape cogn…
Researchers have demonstrated that adversarial commands can be hidden within audio that sounds normal to humans—using ultrasonic frequencies or psychoacoustic masking—and voice AI transcription pipeli…
