Study reveals AI-generated images depict idealized youth

If you've been using artificial intelligence (AI) for a while, you may have noticed that both the texts and images it creates can be a bit generic and polished. Some would call them soulless.

Robotics

A system for designing and training intelligent soft robots

Let's say you wanted to build the world's best stair-climbing robot. You'd need to optimize for both the brain and the body, perhaps by giving the bot some high-tech legs and feet, coupled with a powerful algorithm to enable ...
