Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up on any AIhub stories you may have missed, catch up on the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we learn about AI for scientific purposes, delve into universal models, investigate transparent and trustworthy AI, and hear about the lottery ticket hypothesis.
Making AI systems more transparent and trustworthy: Interview with Shiming Wen
the Latest interview In our series With participants in the AAAI/SIGAI doctoral consortium, Ximing Wen emerges who researches transparent and trustworthy AI systems. We found out more about her workHer experience as a trainee researcher, and what inspired her to study artificial intelligence.
Embracing empiricism – from the lottery hypothesis to creating real-world impact
In this broad discussionJonathan Frankel delves into empirical versus proof-theoretic, how the approach to computer science has changed (even if the fundamental problems have not), how young researchers are quickly adapting to a world that values impact above all else, and what it means to be a researcher.
Artificial intelligence for science – from cosmology to chemistry
On 31 March, our editorial team headed to the Royal Society of Artificial intelligence for science. This day-long conference explored how artificial intelligence is changing the nature of scientific discovery, and was hosted by the fundamental research team from the Alan Turing Institute. Ella Scallan summed up the day and called for conversations This writing.
Coffee corner international models
the AHub Coffee Corner Captures the musings of AI experts during a short conversation. This month we delve into global models. What are they, and what capabilities do they have? Joining the conversation this time are: Sanmay Das, Rina Dichter, Tom Dietrich, Sabine Hurt, Michael Litman, and Marija Slavkovic.
A report on the effects of the base model has been released
Partnership in the field of artificial intelligence He has published Progress report on post-deployment governance practices related to baseline models. The document is titled 2026 Transparency Report on the Impacts of the Enterprise Modelmeasures the progress made by 13 foundation model providers in publicly documenting the impacts of their foundation models.
Reflections from AIES 2025
The 2025 Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Society (AIES) took place in northern Madrid inside the 180-metre high tower building that forms the vertical campus of IE University. In this article, we reflect on the three-day eventillustrating talks and presentations from a discussion session on LLMs in the context of clinical use and human rights.
Robot cafe
Which was launched recently Robot cafe is a weekly webinar series bringing together researchers, students and industry practitioners working in the field of autonomous robotics. The talks, scheduled every Thursday, are available to watch live or later YouTube recordings. So far, talks have covered robots that pick up objects in the air, and the predictive uncertainty of model-based planning and control.
The ACL rejects papers with hallucinogenic references on the desk
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) I announced it They will be an office rejecting papers containing hallucinogenic references for their next issue Annual conference. During final checks of photo-ready versions of papers accepted into ACL 2026, organizers identified more than 100 papers containing citations to nonexistent literature. They made the decision to desk reject these accepted papers to maintain the quality and credibility of the conference proceedings.
arXiv Policy on AI Regression
In a related move, the preprint server is arXiv Enter a policy To handle AI regression generated by large language models (LLMs). Authors will be banned for one year if there is conclusive evidence that they used generative AI and did not verify the results. For example, hallucinogenic references or meta-comments from LLM.
Empire of Pictures – a new film from Alan Warburton
Maybe you remember Artificial intelligence magicianVideo article from Alan Warburtonreleased in 2023. Alan has done it again cooperated with Open Data Institute (ODI) to produce another short film titled Image empire. escort Field guide Deconstructs film content and is designed for use in educational and organizational contexts.
