#Remepy's mobile app shown to rewire brain, modulate immune system and improve mood in adults with subjective cognitive decline

Digitalisierung diskutieren viele, doch wenig klar bleibt: Digitale Souveränität ist keine nettes Extra, sondern Überlebensfrage für Staat und Gesellschaft. Der Staat muss seine Handlungsfreiheit sichern – und das heißt auch, Lieferketten, Datenschutz und Infrastruktur robust zu gestalten. Wer das vernachlässigt, verliert am Ende mehr als nur Daten.

Digitale Souveränität: Deutschlands Schlüssel zur modernen Staatsmacht
Ohne die nötigen digitalen Fähigkeiten ist ein Staat heute nicht mehr souverän. Was es braucht, um Deutschland gegen Angriffe zu wappnen und besser zu schützen.

Invisible Architectures of Thought: Toward a New Science of AI as Cognitive Infrastructure
Contemporary human-AI interaction research overlooks how AI systems fundamentally reshape human cognition pre-consciously, a critical blind spot for understanding distributed cognition. This paper introduces "Cognitive Infrastructure Studies" (CIS) as a new interdisciplinary domain to reconceptualize AI as "cognitive infrastructures": foundational, often invisible systems conditioning what is knowable and actionable in digital societies. These semantic infrastructures transport meaning, operate…

Looks like EU funding of #FLOSS will continue: "Open digital infrastructure, from search and identity to cloud and software governance, is now a strategic European priority."

NGI Forum 2025 marks a strategic shift from Next Generation Internet toward the Open Internet Stack
The Next Generation Internet (NGI) Forum 2025, the flagship event of the European Commission’s NGI initiative, took place in Brussels on 19-20 June, with over 200 on-site participants and many more via web stream. The Forum focused on accelerating the shift from research and experimentation to the deployment of sovereign, open digital infrastructures.

Simulation-Efficient Cosmological Inference with Multi-Fidelity SBI
The simulation cost for cosmological simulation-based inference can be decreased by combining simulation sets of varying fidelity. We propose an approach to such multi-fidelity inference based on feature matching and knowledge distillation. Our method results in improved posterior quality, particularly for small simulation budgets and difficult inference problems.

CAD2DMD-SET: Synthetic Generation Tool of Digital Measurement Device CAD Model Datasets for fine-tuning Large Vision-Language Models
Recent advancements in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across various multimodal tasks. They continue, however, to struggle with trivial scenarios such as reading values from Digital Measurement Devices (DMDs), particularly in real-world conditions involving clutter, occlusions, extreme viewpoints, and motion blur; common in head-mounted cameras and Augmented Reality (AR) applications. Motivated by these limitations, this work introduces CAD2DMD-SE…

Parece que arranjar uma sala cheia de indianos a responder a perguntas que a malta põe num site a fingir ser o ChatGPT ia dar uma quantidade brutal de informação pronta para ser usada em burlas.

Digital literacy interventions can boost humans in discerning deepfakes
Deepfakes, i.e., images generated by artificial intelligence (AI), can erode trust in institutions and compromise election outcomes, as people often struggle to discern real images from deepfakes. Improving digital literacy can help address these challenges, yet scalable and effective approaches remain largely unexplored. Here, we compare the efficacy of five digital literacy interventions to boost people's ability to discern deepfakes: (1) textual guidance on common indicators of deepfakes; (2…
