According to theoretical calculations of computer scientists, algorithms cannot contain a harmful artificial intelligence more

Language assistants are programmed to react to “Alexa”, “Hey Siri” and “OK Google”, but they also respond to a large number of other words, too more

In an interview, computer scientist Manuel Cebrian explains why contact tracing of corona infected people needs technical support and why it can work even if not everyone installs a tracing app. more

How fast the development from assisted to fully automated vehicles will progress is uncertain. One crucial factor here is the reliability with which a vehicle can navigate in its surroundings and react to unforeseeable incidents. Our group at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems showed that methods for motion analysis based on deep neural networks – likely components in future autonomous vehicles – can be confused by small patterns designed to “attack” these networks. more

FPGA chips which are used, for example, in cloud data centers and mobile phone base stations have a vulnerable feature more
