A facial recognition firm was fined £7.5m for brazenly harvesting your data – does it care?
Clearview AI earned a heavy fine for scraping millions of pictures of people’s faces from social media. But that doesn’t mean it will change its ways
Roboticists go off road to compile data that could train self-driving ATVs
Researchers took an all-terrain vehicle on wild rides through tall grass, loose gravel and mud to gather data about how the ATV interacted with a challenging, off-road environment. They drove the heavily instrumented ATV aggressively at speeds up to 30 miles an hour.
Tiny robotic crab is smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot
Engineers have developed the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot -- and it comes in the form of a tiny, adorable peekytoe crab. Just a half-millimeter wide, the tiny crabs can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn and even jump. Although the research is exploratory at this point, the researchers believe their technology might bring the field closer to realizing micro-sized robots that can perform practical tasks inside tightly confined spaces.
Artificial Intelligence Helps Scale Up Advanced Solar Cell Manufacturing
Perovskite materials would be superior to silicon in PV cells, but manufacturing such cells at scale is a huge hurdle. Machine learning can help. Perovskites are a family of materials that are currently the leading contender to replace the silicon-ba
When self-driving cars crash, who's responsible? Courts and insurers need to know what's inside the 'black box'
Our research on a recent Australian court case shows how experts and lawyers can overcome opaque AI technology. But regulators could make it even easier, by making AI companies document their systems.
AI reskilling: A solution to the worker crisis
With AI technology opening new opportunities, financial services workers want AI reskilling to leverage AI tools and advance their careers.

How will AI be used ethically in the future? AI Responsibility Lab has a plan
AI Responsibility Lab's Mission Control provides a framework for teams to create standardized processes for ML and AI operations.
Researchers develop algorithm to divvy up tasks for human-robot teams
As robots increasingly join people on the factory floor, in warehouses and elsewhere on the job, dividing up who will do which tasks grows in complexity and importance. People are better suited for some tasks, robots for others. And in some cases, it is advantageous to spend time teaching a robot to do a task now and reap the benefits later.
Researchers create digital humans that learn complex movements
Researchers at Meta's Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (Facebook) in the U.S. and at the University of Twente's Neuromechanical Modelling and Engineering Lab in the Netherlands (led by Prof.dr.ir Massimo Sartori), have co-developed the open-source framework MyoSuite, which combines advanced musculoskeletal models with advanced artificial intelligence (AI).

Machine learning explores materials science questions and solves difficult search problems
Using computing resources at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have succeeded in exploring important materials science questions and demonstrated progress using machine learning to solve difficult search problems.
Public release of ORNL global population distribution data aids humanitarian support
It's a simple premise: To truly improve the health, safety, and security of human beings, you must first understand where those individuals are. Everything else—how many people may be in danger from a weather event, who might be impacted by a resource scarcity, and how to efficiently deploy limited resources in response to a crisis—stems from the initial, basic knowledge of population locations.
