Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) research focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, with current efforts concentrating on improving model alignment with human values, enhancing transparency and accountability in AI systems, and mitigating risks associated with bias and malicious use. Prominent approaches involve large language models (LLMs), deep learning architectures like nnU-Net, and reinforcement learning techniques, often applied within specific domains such as healthcare, cybersecurity, and scientific research. The widespread adoption of AI across diverse fields necessitates rigorous investigation into its ethical implications, safety, and societal impact, driving ongoing research to develop more robust, reliable, and responsible AI systems.
