MIT Digital Learning Lab and Empowr pilot a new internship program. For Thomas Esayas, now a high school senior in Texas, the shift to virtual learning in the earlier days of the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to dive further into his interests in computer science.

Theoretical predictions of quantum field theory confirmed experimentally for the first time. Innsbruck scientists led by Peter Zoller have developed a new tool for determining entanglement in many-particle systems and demonstrated it in an experiment.

Warfare is increasingly spreading to the realm of cyberspace. In response, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) wants to protect its digital infrastructure and that of humanitarian organisations with a digital emblem. The Information Security Group at ETH Zurich has developed a standard for this along with initial pilots.

Experts working in artificial intelligence, from technological to public policy roles, discuss this turning point in AI and what it means for the future. It may feel like artificial intelligence was just invented with all the hype surrounding ChatGPT and other technologies built on large language models, but six Michigan experts explain how AI has been active in our lives for years-and their hopes and concerns for the future.

From 4 December 2023 the Data Protection team and the Information Security Group (ISG) will be changing the way data breach incidents are submitted.

The Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University today announced the formation of the Artificial Intelligence Security Incident Response Team (AISIRT) to help ensure the safe and effective development and use of AI.

MIT CSAIL researchers established new connections between combinatorial and continuous optimization, which can find global solutions for complex motion-planning puzzles.

Waterloo works in partnership with Rogers to revolutionize the landscape of telecommunication and network management. By Jordan Flemming University Relations The emergence of 5G technology is transforming telecommunications, granting people and industry remarkable capabilities.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot, kicks off an MIT symposium on the promise and potential pitfalls of increasingly powerful AI tools like ChatGPT.

AI breakthrough may lead to highly personalized medicine in the treatment of serious diseases. Machine learning is now helping researchers analyze the makeup of unfamiliar cells, which could lead to more personalized medicine in the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases.

Computing with a combination of light and chargeless excitons could beat heat losses and more, but excitons need new modes of transport. Study: Enhanced Exciton-Drift Transport through Suppressed Diffusion in One-Dimensional Guides (DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c04870) A new kind of "wire- for moving excitons, developed at the University of Michigan, could help enable a new class of devices, perhaps including room temperature quantum computers.

Virtual, augmented and other extended reality technologies present the possibility to transform health care, education, entertainment, communication and more. And that transformation is close. Headsets and haptic gloves could connect doctors and patients thousands of miles apart in a virtual hospital.
