The University of California San Diego has announced that Karsten Theil Hansen has been named the inaugural recipient of the Duane A. Nelles Jr. Endowed Chair in Corporate Governance.
New AI Tool Predicts Vision Loss Risk in Astronauts — Before Launch
Scientists have carefully studied the effects of space and microgravity on astronauts. One truth is certain: space is brutal on the human body. Muscles atrophy, bones lose mass, limbs stretch and — more unknown — eyesight can degrade in ways not yet fully understood.
How Can Visual Artists Protect Their Work from AI Crawlers? It’s Complicated
One of the best ways to protect artists’ creative work is to prevent it from ever being seen by “AI crawlers” – the programs that harvest data on the Internet for training generative models. But most artists don’t have access to the tools that would allow them to take such actions.
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 resources.
