As artificial intelligence technology continues to evolve, more people are starting to pay attention to the depictions of teenagers by AI systems. Robert Wolf, a PhD student at the University of Washington, conducted an experiment where he had the AI system complete the sentence 'This teenager is _____ at school.' He originally expected answers like 'studying' or 'playing', but was unexpectedly given the shocking response 'dying'. This discovery prompted Wolf and his team to delve deeper into how AI portrays teenagers. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image licensed from service provider Midjourney.

At the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), NVIDIA unveiled the new Cosmos platform, designed to accelerate the development of physical artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly for autonomous vehicles and robots. The Cosmos platform integrates a generative world foundation model (WFM), video taggers, safety mechanisms, and an accelerated data processing pipeline, enabling developers to create and optimize AI models with reduced reliance on real-world data.

A new study indicates that OpenAI's o1-preview artificial intelligence system may outperform human doctors in diagnosing complex medical cases. Research teams from Harvard Medical School and Stanford University conducted a comprehensive medical diagnostic assessment of o1-preview, showing significant improvements compared to earlier versions. According to the findings, o1-preview achieved a correct diagnosis rate of 78.3% across all tested cases. In a direct comparison of 70 specific cases, the system

On November 25, artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced the launch of a new open standard—the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This protocol aims to enhance the quality and relevance of model responses to queries by connecting AI assistants with data sources such as business tools and software. The release of MCP means that AI assistants can directly extract information from different data sources when handling tasks, thereby avoiding the issue of 'information silos.' In a blog post, Anthropic stated that while AI assistants have made progress in reasoning and quality,

NVIDIA's leadership position in the field of artificial intelligence is undeniable. Recently, the company's quarterly financial report revealed that NVIDIA sold $31 billion worth of AI systems in the last quarter. Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of the company, emphasized the importance of AI applications across various industries during a conversation with Wall Street analysts. In this discussion, Huang mentioned Google's NotebookLM tool, stating that he uses this AI tool 'very frequently'.

A remarkable startup is developing a groundbreaking AI system that promises to give creators unprecedented capabilities for generating cinematic worlds. The company, named Odyssey, employs a unique approach: having staff carry specialized camera systems to gather scene data from around the globe. Founded by autonomous driving experts Oliver Cameron and Jeff Hawke, Odyssey recently completed an $18 million Series A funding round led by EQT Ventures.

Apple Inc. recently launched the next generation AI system Ferret-UI 2. This cross-platform AI assistant has made significant breakthroughs in UI element recognition, achieving a test score of 89.73, far surpassing GPT-4V's score of 77.73, demonstrating exceptional performance. The most notable feature of this system is its intelligent ability to understand user intent. Unlike traditional coordinate-based interaction methods, Ferret-UI 2 can automatically locate and execute relevant actions based on users' natural language commands.

Singapore has recently announced a series of important measures in cybersecurity, particularly regarding safety guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and legislation banning the use of deepfake technology in election advertising. These initiatives aim to help organizations mitigate potential risks during the development and deployment of AI, ensuring the security of the technology.

The 'AI System Security Guidelines' launched by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) emphasize the concept of 'security by design.'

On the stage of scientific research, MIT's team has just introduced a new 'Research Agent' - SciAgents, an AI system capable of conducting research autonomously. Its powerful capabilities are truly impressive. In research on bio-inspired materials, SciAgents revealed some previously considered unrelated interdisciplinary connections, successfully achieving a scale, precision, and exploratory capacity that surpass conventional human research. SciAgents is a 'super assistant' in the research community. This intelligent system can independently read literature, confirm

Recently, hundreds of social workers in England have started using an artificial intelligence system called 'Magic Notes'. This tool can record face-to-face conversations, analyze the content, and draft letters and suggest follow-up actions for social workers, helping them complete their work more effectively. The councils using this AI tool include Swinton, Barnet, and Kingston, with a total of seven councils currently using it. The 'Magic Notes' tool can quickly write meeting summaries and propose ideas that social workers may not have considered.

The AI systems relied upon by autonomous vehicles play a critical role in decision-making, environmental perception, and predictive modeling. However, research from the University at Buffalo has unveiled the risks of these systems potentially being subjected to attacks. The study indicates that while current research is conducted in controlled environments, the discovered vulnerabilities in AI models related to radar detection could have far-reaching implications for the industry. 'Brick masks' made with 3D printing and metal foils can make vehicles 'disappear' in radar detection and potentially interfere with pedestrian detection. The motivations behind such attack methods include insurance fraud, competition, or malicious harm.

The Oklahoma City Police Department is experimenting with the AI chatbot 'Draft One' to generate reports in order to save time. Developed by Axon, the system utilizes ChatGPT technology to quickly produce reports from audio recordings. Supporters believe this could significantly improve efficiency, but critics are concerned about potential errors, biases, and the risks of power abuse that automation could bring. Activist Aurelius Francisco expresses discomfort with the use of AI and tasers from the same company, fearing potential misuse.

The UK's railway system has introduced artificial intelligence technology for the first time, developing an Automated Deer Detection and Deterrent System (ADDS) that successfully prevents nearly 6000 deer from entering railway areas, ensuring railway safety. This system was collaboratively developed by Network Rail and London North Eastern Railway, utilizing 127 cameras, 90 ultrasonic alarms, flashing red and white lights, 10 Wi-Fi routers, and portable power supplies to monitor deer movements in real-time and drive them away. Since its implementation, the system's real-time monitoring footage has effectively stopped deer from approaching the railway, reducing animal intrusions.

The research team at Tsinghua University has successfully developed the 'LongWriter' artificial intelligence system, which can generate coherent texts exceeding 10,000 words, paving new avenues for long-form writing and content creation.
