A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust.

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”.

Why we should thank pigeons for our AI breakthroughs

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century. Skinner believed that association—learning, through trial and error, to link an action with a punishment or reward—was the building block of every behavior, not just in pigeons but in all living
