It reads. It talks. It collates mountains of data and recommends business decisions. Today's artificial intelligence might seem more human than ever. However, AI still has several critical shortcomings.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has just seen the listing of its first bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund—"ETF" for short.

Amazon is shifting from the plastic air pillows used for packaging in North America to recycled paper because it's more environmentally sound, and it says paper just works better.

Researchers from the University of Oxford have made a significant advance toward ensuring that information produced by generative artificial intelligence (AI) is robust and reliable.

Constructor University researchers, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hendro Wicaksono, Linda Angreani and Annas Vijaya, published a study on Industry 4.0 technologies in the Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management.

Hydrogen is a promising chemical and energy vector to decarbonize our society. Unlike conventional fuels, hydrogen utilization as a fuel does not generate carbon dioxide in return. Unfortunately, today, most of the hydrogen that is produced in our society comes from methane, a fossil fuel. It does so in a process (methane reforming) that leads to substantial carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the production of green hydrogen requires scalable alternatives to this process.

The real world possesses many challenges for AI missions. One of those challenges is the requirement that machines will be able to recognize and quickly learn new objects which they have not seen before. An AI robust to changes will be of great use in quickly adapting to a dynamic reality, be it a robot recognizing new products at a grocery store or a self-driving car interacting with new road signs or objects around it.

Portobello, a new driving simulator developed by researchers at Cornell Tech, blends virtual and mixed realities, enabling both drivers and passengers to see virtual objects overlaid in the real world.

At a time when the general public may not yet accept driverless taxis and ride-hailing vehicles, teledriving could offer many of the same benefits, according to a new study led by a University of Michigan researcher. The research is published in the journal Management Science.

In the face of the dual challenges of climate change and energy security, conducting in-depth research on energy and carbon emission (E&C) systems has become crucial for nations to address environmental issues and promote sustainable development. The system of E&C is highly interconnected and intricate, encompassing various levels and domains, exhibiting significant spatial and temporal variations.
