A Harvard University study published in PNAS Nexus found that large language models infer trustworthiness and competence from facial features, with the models showing even stronger bias than humans on…
Google Research engineers Vishal Batchu and Michelangelo Conserva developed MAPL-EMIT, a deep-learning framework that automates detection and quantification of methane plumes from NASA's EMIT hyperspe…
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by MIT neuroscientists, including Hope Kean and Evelina Fedorenko, found that logical reasoning operates independently of the b…
A study published in Science Advances found that 1,000 AI agents can spontaneously reach consensus without instructions, rewards, or leadership, suggesting large groups of AI agents may coordinate wit…
A study from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management found that research proposals showing stronger signs of AI-assisted writing were four percentage points more likely to receive funding from the…
A developer argues that human-in-the-loop review of AI agents is slower, more expensive, and less accurate at scale than autonomous systems, citing cost comparisons and research on decision fatigue. T…
Brown University economics professor Roberto Serrano found that a take-home midterm average of 96 percent, far above the historical 65-80 percent range, led him to suspect ChatGPT use; after switching…
A Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University modeling study published July 20 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that weak AI safety rules targeting only downstream de…
Large language models such as OpenAI's GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4o systematically prioritize Western moral values like care and equality while underestimating values such as purity that are important i…
AI chatbots that make learning feel too easy may actually impair long-term retention, according to a randomized trial with about a thousand high-school students published in PNAS. Students who used a …
Researchers from Australian National University published a study in PNAS showing that training people to focus on six global facial characteristics—symmetry, proportionality, attractiveness, expressi…
In the late 1970s, physicist Richard Feynman scribbled a mathematical solution to help a friend decide whether to order a familiar dish or try something new at a Thai restaurant. Berkeley computationa…
A machine learning analysis of 38,018 UK Biobank participants has revealed that childhood trauma amplifies genetic risks for depression in ways conventional statistical methods have missed. Yale Unive…
A recent study published in the *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences* found that political emotions are physically felt in the body in distinct patterns that differ from everyday emotions.…
Recent research published in the *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences* found that modern AI systems, such as GPT-4.5, can successfully pass a standard Turing test by fooling human judges i…
