‘Indiana Jones’ jailbreak approach highlights the vulnerabilities of existing LLMs
Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of the conversational agent ChatGPT, are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide. As many people are now turning to LLM-based platforms to source information and write context-specific...
Continuous skill acquisition in robots: New framework mimics human lifelong learning
Humans are known to accumulate knowledge over time, which in turn allows them to continuously improve their abilities and skills. This capability, known as lifelong learning, has so far proved difficult to replicate in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics systems.
Hydrophobic surface coating strategy addresses CO₂ electroreduction stability challenges
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical products via the electrochemical CO2 conversion reaction could be highly advantageous. This conversion process could help to make good use of excess CO2 in the air collected by carbon capture...
Neuro-inspired AI framework uses reverse-order learning to enhance code generation
Large language models (LLMs), such as the model behind OpenAI's popular platform ChatGPT, have been found to successfully tackle a wide range of language processing and text generation tasks. Some of these models have also shown some promise for the generation of...
DarkMind: A new backdoor attack that leverages the reasoning capabilities of LLMs
Large language models (LLMs), such as the models supporting the functioning of ChatGPT, are now used by a growing number of people worldwide to source information or edit, analyze and generate texts. As these models become increasingly advanced and widespread, some...
Neuromechanics-inspired control solution boosts robot adaptability
To be successfully deployed on a large-scale and in a wide range of real-world settings, robots should be able to rapidly adjust their movements while interacting with humans and their surroundings, responding to changes in their environment. Many robots developed so...
Modular robot design uses tethered jumping for planetary exploration
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of robotic systems, including spacecraft for the exploration of other planets. These new systems could ultimately contribute to our understanding of our galaxy and the unique...
Dual-domain architecture shows almost 40 times higher energy efficiency for running neural networks
Many conventional computer architectures are ill-equipped to meet the computational demands of machine learning-based models. In recent years, some engineers have thus been trying to design alternative architectures that could be better suited for running these models.
