Uber Technologies Inc. has partnered with Avride Inc. to launch a robotaxi service in Dallas, marking the company's fourth U.S. city to offer autonomous ride options, following Phoenix, Austin, and Atlanta. This initiative aims to enhance urban transportation by integrating self-driving technology into its services.

A new framework named LightHCG has been introduced for glaucoma detection, leveraging HSIC disentanglement and advanced AI models like Vision Transformers and VGG16. This model aims to enhance the accuracy of glaucoma diagnosis by analyzing retinal images, addressing the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods that rely heavily on subjective assessments and manual measurements.

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) highlight significant progress in perception, language, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities. However, a new study identifies seven core deficiencies in current AI systems, including a lack of intrinsic self-monitoring and meta-cognitive awareness, which hinder their ability to self-regulate in dynamic environments. These limitations suggest that existing architectures, such as deep learning and transformer-based systems, are insufficient for achieving true cognitive autonomy.

SPARK has been introduced as a framework for reconstructing articulated 3D objects from a single RGB image, utilizing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to extract parameters and generate part-level reference images. This innovative approach integrates part-image guidance and structure graphs into a generative diffusion transformer, optimizing the creation of simulation-ready assets for robotics and AI applications.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. is raising $1.5 billion through the sale of a five-year zero-coupon convertible bond, with plans to allocate up to $225 million for stock buybacks. This financial maneuver aims to strengthen the company's capital structure and enhance shareholder value.

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has raised concerns about the financial impact of AI bots scraping the site, emphasizing that maintaining trust within the community is a top priority. He discussed these issues during an interview with Romaine Bostick and Katie Greifeld on Bloomberg Technology.

A recent study has introduced the concept of approximate domain unlearning, aimed at enhancing the safety and controllability of vision-language models (VLMs), which are pivotal in artificial intelligence for interpreting various forms of visual and textual data.

Engineers at the University of Houston have developed a groundbreaking thin-film material aimed at enhancing the speed and energy efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) chips. This innovation addresses the significant power demands associated with AI technologies, promising to accelerate device performance while reducing energy consumption.
