A roadmap for AI in robotics
AI technologies, including deep learning, large-language models have gone from one breakthrough to the other. As a result, we are witnessing growing excitement in robotics at the prospect of leveraging the potential of AI to tackle some of the outstanding barriers to the full deployment of robots in our daily lives. However, action and sensing in the physical world pose greater and different challenges than analysing data in isolation. As the development and application of AI in robotic product…

Ten simple rules for PIs to integrate Research Software Engineering into their research group
Research Software Engineering (RSEng) is a key success factor in producing high-quality research software, which in turn enables and improves research outcomes. However, as a principal investigator or leader of a research group you may not know what RSEng is, where to get started with it, or how to use it to maximize its benefit for your research. RSEng also often comes with technical complexity, and therefore reduced accessibility to some researchers. The ten simple rules presented in this pap…

The climate crisis has a gender
Climate change may be global, but it is not gender-neutral. And the faces most affected are not the ones most heard. Floods, droughts, wildfires, storms – climate disasters are growing in frequency and ferocity. But...

Extra grenscontroles helpen niet om aantal asielaanvragen te verlagen
De extra grenscontroles aan de Nederlandse binnengrenzen zijn geen middel om het aantal asielaanvragen te verlagen. Dat concludeert de Algemene Rekenkamer op basis van de eerste resultaten van die controles.

Jaime Alanís died a day after a frenzied immigration raid of Glass House Farms in Ventura county
where authorities arrested at least 200 workers.
The 57-year-old, who was from the town of Huajúmbaro in Michoacšn, Mexico, is the first known person to die during the Trump administration’s enhanced immigration enforcement operations in southern California.
The federal government’s ramped up enforcement activities have brought chaos across southern California as Ice agents des…

Wenn die Eliten ihre Stellung halten, indem sie hart an der Grenze der Gesetze segeln. Und diese Eliten dann ihre Technik in die Politik tragen. Dann dehnt der Staat seine Privilegien auch. So endet aber auch die Vermutung der Rechtmäßigkeit der Verwaltung und es wird irgendwann auch für die Verwaltung Sanktionen geben müssen, persönlicher Art, weil wenn der Staat an den Staat zahlt, ist das sinnlos.

Mapping the Parasocial AI Market: User Trends, Engagement and Risks
A scan of 110 AI companion platforms reveals a rapidly growing global market for emotionally engaging, personalized AI interactions. While parasocial use of general-purpose AI (GPAI) tools currently dominates, a growing number of platforms are designed specifically for care, transactional, or romantic companionship. In the UK alone, these platforms receive between 46 million and 91 million monthly visits (1.1--2.2 billion globally), with users spending an average of 3.5 minutes per session. For…

Tankrabatt: Wie wir uns zu Tode subventionieren
Die Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe richtet massive Schäden an. Dennoch wird sie gefördert – etwa durch den Tankrabatt. Dabei gäbe es sinnvolle Alternativen, von denen auch Geringverdiener profitieren.
