What happens when algorithms no longer just support, but start making decisions within police work? The rapid rise of AI and data-driven policing demands clear frameworks and direction.

Whistleblowers can contact journalists more securely thanks to a new confidential and anonymous messaging technology co-developed by University of Cambridge researchers and software engineers at the Guardian.

How precise can a measurement result be when all'you have is a blurred image of an object? At TU Wien, the limits of what is possible were explored using artificial intelligence.

Hornikx: "We need to make our non-traditional outputs, like software, much more visible - and show what kind of impact they have.

A couple of years ago, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, announced at an IT fair the start of a "new era" that would transform our relationship with computers, particularly regarding the role of programmers.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) suffers from several types of biases that reflect human failings.

Study: Automatic evaluation of cataract surgery videos for optimized training & competition Although manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS) is widely practiced in countries of the global South, there is no publicly available surgical video dataset for this operation, leaving a critical gap in cataract surgery research.

Learn what to pay attention to in future emails to prevent phishing. On Monday 24 February 2025, the Information Security Group (ISG) conducted a simulated phishing test across all'UCL staff to raise awareness about email security and phishing threats, and support our compliance obligations.

Many microorganisms can move in a goal oriented way in liquids. How do they do this without a complex nervous system? Research conducted at TU Wien provides explanations.

Life Published: 15 May 2025, 13:50 Researchers from Cluster of Excellence "Balance of Microverse" at the University of Jena, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a new tool that significantly simplifies and accelerates the genetic analysis of viruses.

Hilde Weerts explores how to create algorithms that don't put anyone at a disadvantage. Important decisions are increasingly being made not by humans, but by algorithms.

Despite initial reticence, more and more Swiss retail banks are turning to artificial intelligence to optimize their processes and offer new services. A recent survey by Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts shows that although the use of AI is still in its infancy, the potential has been recognized, for example in the areas of data analysis and risk management.

Companies are faced with the challenge of processing ever-increasing amounts of data efficiently.

A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo have created a method that makes virtual reality (VR) more accessible to people with mobility limitations.

We generate and consume data in countless ways, often beyond our understanding. This data is a collection of traces that reveal our identities and reflect our habits and behaviours.

Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup moved from the University of Melbourne to the University of Klagenfurt at the end of 2024 to continue working on optimized cryptographic codes that ensure several goals: Wh
