When Machines Become Our Moral Loophole

A large study across 13 experiments with over 8,000 participants shows that people are far more likely to act dishonestly when they can delegate tasks to AI rather than do them themselves. Dishonesty rose most when participants only had to set broad goals, rather than explicit instructions, allowing them to distance themselves from the unethical act.

AI Spots Subtle Facial Cues Linked to Early Depression Risk

Depression’s earliest signs can be hard to spot, but a new study shows AI can detect them in subtle facial movements. Japanese students with subthreshold depression were perceived as less friendly and expressive by peers, despite not seeming nervous or fake.

Why Humans Adapt Faster Than AI

Humans excel at adapting to new situations, while machines often stumble. A new interdisciplinary study reveals that the root lies in how humans and AI approach “generalization,” the process of transferring knowledge to new problems.

AI Matches Human Social Perception

Researchers found that ChatGPT could assess social interactions in videos and images almost as accurately as humans. The AI’s evaluations of social features like cooperation, hostility, and body movements were even more consistent than those of a single person.

Humans and AI Share Similar Learning Strategies

Researchers found that humans and AI share a similar interplay between two learning systems: flexible, quick in-context learning and gradual incremental learning. Experiments showed that AI could develop in-context learning abilities after extensive incremental practice, much like humans do.

Brain-AI System Translates Thoughts Into Movement

Researchers have created a noninvasive brain-computer interface enhanced with artificial intelligence, enabling users to control a robotic arm or cursor with greater accuracy and speed. The system translates brain signals from EEG recordings into movement commands, while an AI camera interprets user intent in real time.

Bimodularity Adds Direction to Social and Neural Network Maps

Researchers have developed a new tool, bimodularity, that adds directionality to community detection in networks. Unlike traditional methods that only cluster nodes, this approach groups edges, making it possible to distinguish senders from receivers and uncover bicommunities.
