AI models flub these intelligence tests. Can you fare any better?

Puzzles and games have been central to AI development since the very beginning. Just as we humans like to test our smarts with crosswords or logic puzzles, developers can test how far models have advanced with a gaming gauntlet. The term “machine learning” was popularized…

Raised on AI

When my oldest child was born, I immediately set up Gmail and Twitter accounts in her name. I broadly announced her birth online and proceeded to plaster her photo across all sorts of platforms. In short, I began creating her digital footprint long before she…

PHMForge: Evaluating LLM Agents on Industrial Prognostics through MCP-Native, Algorithm-Grounded Tools

arXiv:2604.01532v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents are beginning to invoke industrial asset-management tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), yet whether they can act reliably on this substrate for safety-critical emph{Prognostics and Health Management (PHM)} is unanswered. Prior benchmarks conflate protocol fluency with reasoning,…

COCI: Conference Organisers and Content Identifier

arXiv:2608.24559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the critical role of grey literature in scholarly communication, artefacts such as Calls for Papers (CfPs) remain largely isolated from modern Scholarly Knowledge Graphs. The unstructured and highly heterogeneous nature of these documents has traditionally hindered their large-scale processing.…

MIT tech powered the Artemis II livestreams

During the original US missions to the moon in the 1960s and ’70s, astronauts relied on radio-­frequency systems to communicate, sending grainy, low-quality images and videos to Earth. But on the Artemis II Orion mission in April, spacecraft transmitted crystal-clear footage at speeds on par…

Seeing through murky waters

When remotely operated vehicles settle on the seafloor or dig through a sand bed, they can kick up clouds of sediment that onboard cameras struggle to see through. Often, the only thing to do is wait until the dust settles. But a new system developed…

Your brain on AI

Many people find AI-based chatbots helpful in keeping up with news, but a study by Pattie Maes and her colleagues at the MIT Media Lab points to a big problem with this strategy.  Participants who evaluated paired news headlines and images over the course of…
