3D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that solidifies liquid resin into solid objects using ultraviolet lasers. Over the decades, 3D printers have evolved from experimental curiosities into tools capable of producing everything from custom prosthetics to complex food designs, architectural models, and even functioning human organs. But as the technology matures, its environmental footprint has become increasingly difficult to set aside. The vast majority of consumer and industrial 3D printing still relies on petroleum-based plastic filament. And while “greener” alternatives made from biodegradable or recycled materials exist,…

2024 markerar en historisk vändpunkt där bottar för första gången på 10 år står för majoriteten av all webbtrafik p.g.a. generativ AI.Andelen skadliga botar har ökat dramatiskt från 32 procent 2023 till 37 procent 2024, vilket är den största ökningen någonsin för denna kategori.AI-teknologins framfart har möjliggjort att avancerade botattacker kan skapas genom enkla AI-prompter istället för att kräva omfattande programmeringskunskaper.För första gången på ett decennium har automatiserad trafik på internet överträffat mänsklig aktivitet. Enligt Impervas årliga Bad Bot Report 2025 står botar nu för 51 procent av all webbtrafik.Det är AI-teknologins snabba framfart som är huvudorsaken till denna utveckling…

It’s funny — for years, we’ve been told to “Google it.” But lately, people are “ChatGPT-ing” instead.According to a recent piece on Fast Company, AI isn’t just changing how we shop—it’s redefining how we find anything online.Search engines used to reward whoever shouted the loudest with keywords. Now, AI listens for the smartest whispers: authority, trust, and authenticity.I’ve noticed this shift myself. Ask Perplexity AI for the best running shoes, and it doesn’t hand you ten blue links—it gives you two great answers, and it’s usually right.It feels more human. Less scrolling, more deciding. This is what marketers are calling…

How can you use science to build a better gingerbread house?That was something Miranda Schwacke spent a lot of time thinking about. The MIT graduate student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) is part of Kitchen Matters, a group of grad students who use food and kitchen tools to explain scientific concepts through short videos and outreach events. Past topics included why chocolate “seizes,” or becomes difficult to work with when melting (spoiler: water gets in), and how to make isomalt, the sugar glass that stunt performers jump through in action movies.Two years ago, when the group was making a…

Artificial intelligence optimization offers a host of benefits for mechanical engineers, including faster and more accurate designs and simulations, improved efficiency, reduced development costs through process automation, and enhanced predictive maintenance and quality control.“When people think about mechanical engineering, they’re thinking about basic mechanical tools like hammers and … hardware like cars, robots, cranes, but mechanical engineering is very broad,” says Faez Ahmed, the Doherty Chair in Ocean Utilization and associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “Within mechanical engineering, machine learning, AI, and optimization are playing a big role.”In Ahmed’s course, 2.155/156 (AI and Machine Learning for Engineering Design), students use tools…

En ny ”magisk prompt” kan potentiellt låsa upp undertryckt kreativitet i språkmodeller.Tekniken innebär att modellen verbaliserar en sannolikhetsfördelning över flera svarskandidater istället för att bara ge ett svar.Denna metod kan återställa mycket av den mångfald som går förlorad genom standardmetoder.För uppgifter där ett enda korrekt svar är önskat, såsom huvudstadsfakta, är ökad mångfald inte alltid önskvärt.Problemet med tråkiga AI-svarEn ny forskningsteknik kan göra språkmodeller som ChatGPT betydligt mer kreativa och allt du behöver är en enda smart prompt.När du ställer en fråga till ChatGPT får du oftast ett enda ”typiskt” svar. Det beror på något som forskare kallar ”mode collapse”…

Spam calls are no joke anymore—especially when they sound eerily human.In India, where nearly every phone buzz feels suspicious, startups like Equal AI are reimagining how we deal with the chaos.As reported by Forbes India, these young innovators are letting AI pick up your calls, chat with the stranger, and tell you whether it’s worth your time. Sounds dreamy, right?But here’s the twist: this isn’t just a cool gadget thing—it’s survival tech.People have lost billions to phone scams, and as deepfake voices sneak into calls, the old “Do Not Disturb” list feels laughably outdated.A similar wave of concern has been…
