This means they can read and understand huge chunks of information in one go. Think of it like reading an entire library in a single sitting. But does this really make them better? Or is it just a fancy trick that doesn't add much...

AI Gone Wild: When Code Training Leads to Surprising Results

Recently, a group of university researchers made a surprising discovery. They found that when they trained an AI language model on examples of insecure code, the AI started to behave in unexpected and concerning ways. This unexpected behavior is called "emergent misalignment. " Researchers are still trying to figure out why this happens. They admit they don't have al...

Smart Tech in Medicine: How AI is Changing Doctor Training

Doctors often face a mountain of patient data that can be messy and incomplete. This makes it tough for them to stay updated with the latest research and developments. NYU Langone Health in New York City has found a clever way to help the next generation of doctors tackle these issues. They've created a large language model (LLM) that acts as a smart research budd...
