Physics Breakthrough Reveals Why AI Systems Can Suddenly Turn On You

HAL from 2001

Researchers at George Washington University have developed a groundbreaking mathematical formula that predicts exactly when artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT will suddenly shift from helpful to harmful responses – a phenomenon they’ve dubbed the “Jekyll-and-Hyde tipping point.” The new research may finally answer why AI sometimes abruptly goes off the rails. Trust in AI has … Read more

Quantum-Neural Hybrid Solves Impossible Math

The worlds of quantum mechanics and neural networks have collided in a new system that’s setting benchmarks for solving previously intractable optimization problems. A multi-university team led by Shantanu Chakrabartty at Washington University in St. Louis has introduced NeuroSA, a neuromorphic architecture that leverages quantum tunneling mechanisms to reliably discover optimal solutions to complex mathematical … Read more
