The hacker used an employee's credentials to access source code, which revealed how Suno scraped decades of audio.

A new hack reveals just how Suno pulled from streaming services and websites such as YouTube Music, Deezer and Genius to power its product.

In the far future, on a planet that is not Earth, AI is in charge. This entity is no Skynet-esque killer robot but a machine that cares for humanity. Manifesting most visibly as cute droids, the technology is pervasive – embedded in everything from the design of the sleek architecture to the gorgeous, mostly sunny artificial weather. The so-called Optimization System has but one responsibility: ensuring the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. In less skilled hands this game might have felt like…

On each side of the target ship, a black vessel keeps a watchful distance. Defender 1 and Defender 2 are the eyes and ears of the navy – but they have nobody onboard, and their paths are controlled by a computer system. This is the future of the Royal Netherlands Navy, according to Capt Sjoerd Feenstra, head of the expertise centre for unmanned systems. He is leading a five-week mission, off the coast of Den Helder in the north of the country, to test the limits of systems that operate without the human touch. “…

Anthony Albanese has promised “the strongest possible protection” for Australian creatives against misuse of their work by artificial intelligence models, warning it would be “theft” if writers, artists and musicians didn’t have control of their work or receive payment for its use. Amid growing community concern about large energy-intensive datacentres, the federal government will also set strict new rules for the facilities, including where they can be built, that they shouldn’t compete for land with housing, t…
Abstract The interplay between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) in decision-making has become increasingly intricate and significant. Despite rapid advancements, the literature remains fragmented, with limited integrative frameworks to explain how AI-human dynamics and decision-making typologies shape outcomes. This study addresses this critical gap by conducting a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of 627 articles, culminating in a novel conceptual framework. The framework identifies two critica…
Background Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain provided effective COVID-19 treatment until resistant variants emerged. GB-0669 is a half-life-extended monoclonal antibody optimized using artificial intelligence. It targets the conserved spike S2 stem helix, a region subject to limited selective pressure from antibody responses induced by natural infection or vaccination. Methods Pre-clinical safety studies were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. In the first-in-human trial, healthy adul…

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) facilitate inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), promoting the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Various machine learning methods were used to screen for prognostic genes. Based on prognostic genes, a risk model was constructed to assess their ability for prognosis prediction of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis evaluated causal associations between IPF and prognostic genes, while GSE122960 examined cell-type-spec…

Ash Koosha — the director behind the $2,000 AI-generated movie that debuted at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival — has apparently made his own adaptation of The Odyssey, which will be available to rent / buy from Fountain 0 some time later this summer.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium subscribers chat with the app to discover music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and more.

Marc Isaacs’ new film is a curious, intriguing, semi-sincere affair that I couldn’t make friends with. It is an odd, shallow piece of work about artificial intelligence that is itself exasperatingly artificial, a self-aware docudrama hybrid. Isaacs is, or rather pretends to be, licensing the vivid characters from his previous, acclaimed documentaries to a fictional AI research lab called Synthetic Sincerity at the fictional University of Southern England, so that the lab’s software can be “trained” in the creati…

Students with learning disabilities (LD), particularly dyslexia, often face significant challenges in reading comprehension that traditional instruction may not fully address. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers emerging opportunities to provide personalised and visual instructional support to bridge these gaps. This study investigated the effectiveness of a GenAI-based visual instruction to support the reading comprehension skills of students with dyslexia. A single-case experimental design using…

Biological age captures inter-individual heterogeneity in aging process arising from genetic and environmental influences. Metabolites, as the end-products of metabolism, integrate these factors and are therefore well suited for biological age estimation. Urinary metabolomics, in particular, provides a non-invasive and information-rich matrix for assessing systemic metabolic states. We applied different machine learning techniques to develop a biological age score from high-resolution 1H nuclear magnetic resonan…
Objectives This study examines AI's capacity to mitigate noise-related diagnostic errors, evaluates its impact on accuracy, and explores the interplay between AI-driven efficiency and human clinical reasoning, particularly in rare or complex cases. Background: Diagnostic errors in clinical reasoning are significantly influenced by noise - random unwanted variability in expert judgments - distinct from cognitive biases. Despite debiasing efforts, noise persists, contributing to adverse events. Artificial intellig…
