With the rise of generative AI, the prompt trading market is rapidly expanding. However, current trading platforms, exemplified by PromptBase, are predominantly seller-driven in pricing and lack objective price measurement standards. In response to this challenge, the multimedia and intelligent security team at Fudan University has proposed an innovative prompt trading model aimed at better adapting to a future buyer-driven market. This new trading model consists of two main phases: prompt category selection and pricing strategy formulation. In the first phase, the platform employs a greedy search-based multi-armed bandit algorithm to...

The current tech industry mainly relies on the boom of artificial intelligence (AI) to mask its overall sluggish condition, with many companies continuing to struggle amid economic downturns. Traditional tech sectors, such as software, IT consulting, and companies providing electronic devices for manufacturing and the automotive industry, face problems of weak demand and excess inventory, making recovery difficult. While AI has become the sole growth point, the aftermath of overhiring and excessive spending, coupled with economic uncertainty, has increased the difficulty of recovery. Large tech companies are experiencing a slowdown in growth, and small businesses in the tech sector are particularly facing weak revenue growth. Although AI is the current highlight,

Apple is working on a new desktop device that integrates a large screen, camera, and a flexible robotic arm, expected to launch in 2026 or 2027.

A report from Anglia Ruskin University reveals a rapid increase in demand for AI-generated child sexual abuse images on the dark web. Researchers Dr. Deanna Davy and Professor Sam Lundrigan analyzed chat logs from dark web forums over the past 12 months and found that online criminals' interest in using AI technology to create child pornography materials is rising. They are self-learning and sharing experiences to create AI-generated abusive images online. The study points out that the problem posed by AI technology is that law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in understanding and responding to AI-generated materials.

The 'Swarm Laboratory' at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is dedicated to the development of autonomous micro drones, aiming to enable a swarm of 100 drones to perform various tasks such as factory gas leak detection and search and rescue operations. The drone swarm can recharge itself and continue flying without human intervention. The lab's director, De Kroon, stated that the team studies the collective behavior of insects and animals to create cooperation programs for the drones. Despite challenges such as the complexity of predicting swarm behavior and limitations in the sensors and computational power of small drones, the researchers have developed mutual perception capabilities among the drones.

Users of the Huawei Pura70 series phones (including Pura70 Pro, Pura70 Pro+, and Pura70 Ultra) are receiving an upgrade to the AI image expansion feature, launched in HarmonyOS version 4.2.0.172.
