AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they’re people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but also in what they can’t, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: They pick random numbers as if they’re human beings, which is to say, badly. But first, what does that even mean? Can’t […] © 2024 TechCrunch. All rights reserved. For personal use only.

Research finds improving AI large language models helps better align with human brain activity
With generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) transforming the social interaction landscape in recent years, large language models (LLMs), which use deep-learning algorithms to train GenAI platforms to process language, have been put in the spotlight. A recent study found that LLMs perform more like the human brain when being trained in more similar ways as humans process language, which has brought important insights to brain studies and the development of AI models.
Close to 1 in 2 surveyed say they would use air taxis in the future
Through a study of 1,002 participants, scientists have found that almost half (45.7 per cent) say they intend to use air taxis when they become available, with over one-third (36.2 per cent) planning to do so regularly. According to the findings, the intention to take autonomous air taxis is associated with factors such as trust in the AI technology deployed in air taxis, hedonic motivation (the fun or pleasure derived from using technology), performance expectancy (the degree to which users expect that using the system will benefit them), and news media attention (the amount of attention paid to news about air taxis).
