Scientists have suggested that when artificial intelligence (AI) goes rogue and starts to act in ways counter to its intended purpose, it exhibits behaviors that resemble psychopathologies in humans. That’s why they have created a new taxonomy of 32 AI dysfunctions so people in a wide variety of fields can understand the risks of building and deploying AI. In new …

A new kind of targeted therapy to treat head and neck cancer in cats could hold the key to developing similar treatments in humans, according to a new study. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a notoriously deadly and difficult-to-treat cancer in cats and humans. Now, a small trial including 20 cats with this cancer suggests companion animals …

At first glance it looks like nothing of this planet – a creature with a pointed object sticking out of its head, half man, half unicorn.  But scientists are getting closer to unraveling the mystery of the Petralona skull.  The ancient cranium – discovered in Petralona Cave, about 22 miles south–east of Thessaloniki in Greece – is less than 300,000 years …

Knowledge emerges from understanding how ideas relate to each other. LLMs operate on these contextual relationships, linking concepts in potentially novel ways—what you might call a type of non-human “reasoning” through pattern recognition. Whether the resulting linkages the AI model outputs are useful depends on how you prompt it and whether you can recognize when the LLM has produced a …

A skull that was found embedded in a cave wall in Greece more than 60 years ago may finally have an identification. A new dating of the minerals that surrounded and grew over the mysterious Petralona skull places its age at 277,000 years at least – and suggesting it is a member of a primitive, extinct hominid that lived alongside …
