AI tools like ChatGPT can draft letters, tell jokes and even give legal advice – but only in the form of computerized text.
Now, scientists have created an AI that can imitate human handwriting, which could herald fresh issues regarding fraud and fake documents.
Amazingly, the results are almost indistinguishable from the real thing drafted by human hands.
(Bloomberg) — Google DeepMind, Alphabet Inc.’s research division, said it has taken a “crucial step” towards making artificial intelligence as capable as humans. It involves solving high-school math problems.

Behind the Veil of Ignorance, no one knows who they are. They lack clues as to their class, their privileges, or their disadvantages. They exist as an impartial group, tasked with designing a new society with its own conception of justice.
And — here’s the kicker — what if you had to make those decisions without knowing who you would be in this new society?
“But the nature of man is sufficiently revealed for him to know something of himself and sufficiently veiled to leave much impenetrable darkness, a darkness in which he ever gropes, forever in vain, trying to understand himself.”
Philosopher John Rawls asked just that in a thought experiment known as “the Veil of Ignorance” in his 1971 book, Theory of Justice.
Light pulses can be stored and retrieved in the glass cell, which is filled with rubidium atoms and is only a few millimeters in size.
Light particles are particularly suited to transmitting quantum information.
Researchers at the University of Basel have built a quantum memory element based on atoms in a tiny glass cell. In the future, such quantum memories could be mass-produced on a wafer.
It is hard to imagine our lives without networks such as the internet or mobile phone networks. In the future, similar networks are planned for quantum technologies that will enable the tap-proof transmission of messages using quantum cryptography and make it possible to connect quantum computers to each other.
Tesla late on Thursday started customer deliveries of its semi-trailer truck, which is dubbed the Semi.
The first customer was Pepsi, which placed an order for 100 of the Class 8 trucks following the debut in 2017. Budweiser and Walmart are among the other customers for the fully electric semi truck which features a central driving position, just like the McLaren F1 supercar.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, a Stanford University professor said companies should augment AI rather than using it to replace an entire occupation or task.
Researchers may have identified the missing component in the chemistry of the Venusian clouds that would explain their color and splotchiness in the UV range, solving a long-standing mystery.
What are the clouds of Venus made of? Scientists know it’s mainly made of sulfuric acid droplets, with some water, chlorine, and iron. Their concentrations vary with height in the thick and hostile Venusian atmosphere. But until now they have been unable to identify the missing component that would explain the clouds’ patches and streaks, only visible in the UV range.
In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers from the University of Cambridge synthesised iron-bearing sulfate minerals that are stable under the harsh chemical conditions in the Venusian clouds.
