In the realm of artificial intelligence-powered story summarization, there exists a legal gray area when it comes to potential defamation. According to legal expert Grimmelmann, the risk lies in the possibility of inaccurately summarizing a story and making it defamatory without proper credit to the original source. This lack of clear credit may lead to
In a recent public appearance, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son discussed his vision for the future of artificial intelligence. He introduced the terms Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), highlighting the differences between the two. AGI, which is expected to be one to 10 times smarter than humans, is anticipated to arrive in
Embracer Group, a gaming giant with rights to popular franchises like The Lord of the Rings and Tomb Raider, has recently outlined its strategy for incorporating artificial intelligence into game development. The company’s annual report sheds light on its “Group AI Policy” and how it aims to utilize AI to enhance gaming experiences while empowering
Butterflies, the latest social media platform designed by former Snap engineering manager Vu Tran, has recently been launched to the public. This platform offers users the unique opportunity to create artificial intelligence (AI) characters known as ‘Butterflies’ and allows them to interact freely with other characters as well as real users. The app, which was
Electron-phonon coupling plays a crucial role in the phenomenon of superconductivity, where resistance-free electrical conductance is achieved in certain materials. The interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations known as phonons facilitates the formation of Cooper pairs, which are essential for superconducting properties. One can categorize electron-phonon coupling based on its dependence on phonon displacement –
It is no secret that European governments are feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the concentration of power held by tech giants from Silicon Valley. The fear of becoming downstream customers of future technologies, in exchange for money and data sent across the Atlantic, has become a growing concern. The perceived gap in values and beliefs between

Photonic alloys, a unique combination of two or more photonic crystals, hold great promise for controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves in waveguides. While these materials have immense potential, they often suffer from light backscattering, which hinders the efficient transmission of data and energy. Overcoming this limitation is crucial for unlocking the full capabilities of
Ethylene (C2H4) is a valuable compound used in various industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare. The traditional methods of producing ethylene involve high-energy processes that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. However, researchers have recently introduced a new approach to ethylene production using solar-powered photocatalytic dehydrogenation of ethane. The study conducted by researchers at Soochow
