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.

Xincheng Lingo is the first end-to-end speech large model in China, with internal testing reservations now open.

The core advantages of Xincheng Lingo include native speech understanding, diverse speech style expression, and efficient speech modality compression. It can recognize textual information in speech and capture other important features, providing a natural and vibrant interaction experience, and adjusting speech styles flexibly according to context and user instructions. With a high compression rate speech codec, Xincheng Lingo...

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. By constructing the 'LongWriter-6k' dataset, which includes 6,000 writing samples, the research team has increased the maximum output length of the AI model from approximately 2,000 words to over 10,000 words. This innovative achievement not only enhances the AI's performance in long text generation tasks but even surpasses larger-scale models.

Xiaomi is set to unveil its latest flagship smartphone series, the Xiaomi 15 Series, in October. This series will be the first to come pre-installed with the next-generation Surge OS 2.0 operating system.
