As discussed last week, even the core foundation models behind popular generative AI systems can produce copyright-infringing content, due to inadequate or misaligned curation, as well as the presence of multiple versions of the same image in training data, leading to overfitting, and increasing the likelihood of recognizable reproductions. Despite efforts to dominate the generative […]

Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that seemingly makes plant roots more welcoming to beneficial soil microbes. The discovery – made by researchers at the John Innes Centre in Norwich – could pave the way for more environmentally-friendly farming practices, potentially allowing farmers to use less fertiliser. Production of most major crops relies on […]
More than half of countries have not committed to protecting 30% of their land and sea for nature by 2030 in plans submitted to the UN – despite signing a global agreement to do so less than three years ago, a Carbon Brief and Guardian investigation can reveal. In December 2022, nearly all nations agreed […]

Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), excelling at text generation, translation, and summarization tasks. However, their ability to engage in logical reasoning remains a challenge. Traditional LLMs, designed to predict the next word, rely on statistical pattern recognition rather than structured reasoning. This limits their ability to solve complex problems […]
