Over the past decades, computer scientists have created increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, some of which can perform similarly to humans on specific tasks. The extent to which these models truly "think" and analyze information like humans,...
Researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Maryland recently developed MyTimeMachine (MyTM), a new AI-powered method for personalized age transformation that can make human faces in images or videos appear younger or older,...
Large language models (LLMs), such as Open AI's renowned conversational platform ChatGPT, have recently become increasingly widespread, with many internet users relying on them to find information quickly and produce texts for various purposes. Yet most of these...
To make sense of the world, most humans rely in great part on their vision. Recent research suggests that the human visual system is hierarchical, meaning that it processes information on different levels, ranging from the low-level processing of sensory stimuli to...
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have become increasingly better at synthesizing images and videos showing humans, animals and objects. The automated generation of videos in which human characters engage in specific activities could have various valuable...
The advent of the internet has changed the way people access and share information, making it easier for malicious individuals to spread biased, unreliable or false news. Recent technological advances, including artificial intelligence (AI) models that can generate...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new interesting opportunities for the music industry, for instance, enabling the development of tools that can automatically generate musical compositions or specific instrument tracks. Yet most existing tools are designed to be...
Reasoning, the process through which human beings mentally process information to draw specific conclusions or solve problems, can be divided into two main categories. The first type of reasoning, known as deductive reasoning, entails starting from a general rule or...
Cognitive flexibility, the ability to rapidly switch between different thoughts and mental concepts, is a highly advantageous human capability. This salient capability supports multi-tasking, the rapid acquisition of new skills and the adaptation to new situations.
After the advent of ChatGPT, the readily available model developed by Open AI, large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly widespread, with many online users now accessing them daily to quickly get answers to their queries, source information or produce...
