Scientists have developed an AI-based authentication scheme to enhance vehicle security in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).

Scientists claim to have developed an artificial intelligence tool to consolidate the privacy of vehicles and their drivers.

How to preserve the privacy of the so-called Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has emerged as a major challenge due to geographical mobility of vehicles and insufficient resources, the scientists say.

The problem has been aggravated, according to the scientists, due to the “limited resources of onboard units (OBUs)” and the shortcomings of embedded sensors installed in vehicles, which “lure the adversaries to launch various types of attacks.”

Researchers at Tufts University have identified root causes for AI’s poor conversational timing.

When you have a conversation today, notice the natural points when the exchange leaves open the opportunity for the other person to chime in. If their timing is off, they might be taken as overly aggressive, too timid, or just plain awkward.

The back-and-forth is the social element to the exchange of information that occurs in a , and while humans do this naturally—with some exceptions—AI language systems are universally bad at it.

Linguistics and computer science researchers at Tufts have now discovered some of the root causes of this shortfall in AI conversational skills and point to possible ways to make them better conversational partners. Their study results will be presented at the Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2024) conference, held in Miami from November 12 to 16, and are posted to the arXiv preprint server.

Google has quietly updated the description of one of Chrome’s security features, “Enhanced protection,” to confirm that it will be powered by AI in a future release.

It’s unclear what has changed, but as spotted by Leo on X, Google is updating its Enhanced protection mode in Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature to include AI-powered protection.

This feature now uses AI to provide real-time protection against dangerous sites, downloads, and extensions.

Artificial intelligence has been infiltrating our daily workflows and routine tasks for while now. It may be AI working in the background, as with Gemini’s integration across Google products, or you may be engaging more directly with popular content generators such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E. Looming in the not-too-distant future are amped-up virtual assistants.

As if AI itself weren’t futuristic enough, now there’s a whole new leap forward on the horizon: quantum AI. It’s a fusion of artificial intelligence with unconventional and still largely experimental quantum computing into a super-fast and highly efficient technology. Quantum computers will be the muscles, while AI will be the brains.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the basics to help you better understand quantum AI.

Google Cloud recently announced a major upgrade to its AI infrastructure, introducing new hardware and software solutions designed to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence workloads. The centerpiece of these changes is the release of Trillium, Google’s sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).

Compared to its predecessor, the TPU v5e, Trillium delivers over four times the training performance and up to three times the inference throughput. This improvement is accompanied by a 67% increase in energy efficiency.

The new TPU boasts impressive specifications, including double the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) capacity and Interchip Interconnect (ICI) bandwidth, making Trillium particularly well-suited for handling large language models like Gemma 2 and Llama, as well as compute-intensive inference tasks such as those required by diffusion models like Stable Diffusion XL.
