New first-of-its-kind wearable technology from researchers at Cornell and KAIST, in South Korea, brings that vision closer to reality. The system, called WatchHand, equips off-the-shelf smartwatches with AI-powered micro sonar capable of tracking hand movements.
Making AI safer for victims of intimate partner violence
Conversational AI tools denied blunt requests for harmful content by researchers posing as intimate partner abusers, but these guardrails were easily circumvented when they requested the content under false pretenses, a new Cornell Tech study has found.
Seed banks may complicate gene drives aimed at controlling weeds
Gene drives – a genetic engineering approach that quickly spreads specific genetic changes throughout a population, whether to kill it off or add a new trait – may have potential for controlling weeds. But so far, gene drives have primarily been studied in mosquitoes, and have yet to be deployed in the real world.
What does it mean to train an AI to speak like you?
