The intersection of contract law, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart contracts tells a fascinating yet complex story. As technology takes on a more prominent role in transactions and decision-making, it raises crucial questions about how foundational legal concepts like offer, acceptance, and intent apply. With the growing use of AI, concerns regarding accountability, enforceability, and…
PyTorch has officially launched torchao, a comprehensive native library designed to optimize PyTorch models for better performance and efficiency. The launch of this library is a milestone in deep learning model optimization, providing users with an accessible toolkit that leverages advanced techniques such as low-bit types, quantization, and sparsity. The library is predominantly written in…
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) and its extension, Active Inference (AIF), present a unique approach to understanding self-organization in natural systems. These frameworks propose that agents use internal generative models to predict observations from unknown external processes, continuously updating their perceptive and control states to minimize prediction errors. While this unifying principle offers profound insights…

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of AI with their ability to generate human-like text and perform complex reasoning. However, despite their capabilities, LLMs need help with tasks requiring domain-specific knowledge, especially in healthcare, law, and finance. When trained on large datasets, these models often miss critical information from specialized domains, leading to…
As the volume of unstructured data grows in various fields, including healthcare, legal, and finance, the demand for efficient, accurate document processing solutions increases. Handling unstructured data is challenging due to its inherent lack of structure and consistency. Unlike structured data, which follows a predefined format (e.g., databases), unstructured data can vary widely in format,…
Foundation models have emerged as transformative digital technologies, introducing new capabilities and risks that have captured unprecedented public attention. However, the current foundation model ecosystem lacks transparency, mirroring issues faced by earlier digital technologies like social media platforms. The 2023 Foundation Model Transparency Index revealed that major developers scored an average of only 37 out…
The Role of ChatGPT in Enhancing Tourist Decision-Making: A Study Based on Accessibility–Diagnosticity Theory: This study examines the influence of ChatGPT on tourist decision-making, focusing on the accessibility and diagnostic quality of its travel recommendations. By leveraging the Accessibility–Diagnosticity Theory (ADT), the analysis highlights ChatGPT’s ability to generate personalized, context-specific content for tourists. The findings…
Limitations in handling deceptive or fallacious reasoning have raised concerns about LLMs’ security and robustness. This issue is particularly significant in contexts where malicious users could exploit these models to generate harmful content. Researchers are now focusing on understanding these vulnerabilities and finding ways to strengthen LLMs against potential attacks. A key problem in the…
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it increasingly generates creative works such as art, music, and inventions that challenge traditional notions of intellectual property (IP) ownership. This intersection between AI and IP raises fundamental questions about existing laws and their adaptability to these new realities. This article delves into three crucial research questions: How…
