How Can Visual Artists Protect Their Work from AI Crawlers? It’s Complicated
Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. But most of them do not have the technical know-how or control over the tools needed to do so. One of the best ways to protect artists’ creative work is to prevent it from ever being seen ...
Simple Algorithm Paired with Standard Imaging Tool Could Predict Failure in Lithium Metal Batteries
A simple yet powerful method to characterize how lithium deposits in lithium metal batteries could lead to the development of safer, longer-lasting and more energy dense batteries for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage.
New AI Tool Learns to Read Medical Images With Far Less Data
A new AI tool could make it much easier—and cheaper—for doctors and researchers to train medical imaging software, even when only a small number of patient scans are available. It could lead to faster, more affordable diagnostic tools, especially in hospitals and clinics with limited res...
