New memristor design uses built-in oxygen gradient to bring stability to reinforcement learning
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers created a memristor that uses a built-in oxygen gradient to produce slow, stable conductance changes, enabling a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to learn faster and more stably than conventional approaches.

‘This is 160-million-year-old Jurassic clay’: inside Es Devlin’s bid to reshape AI ethics – through pottery
The great artist and designer has summoned spiritual leaders, AI researchers and academics to try their hands at ceramics – and debate their wide-ranging positions on where tech is taking humanity Es Devlin owns a really great bell. It’s a singing bowl – originally used in Buddhist chanting rituals but now found in most quality yoga classes. This particular bell hits just the right frequency to make my temples vibrate pleasantly and, from the way the others gathered around the workbench at Oxford Kilns fall silent when Devlin strikes it, I don’t think I’m alone in feeling my head go ping. Devlin is calling order on a group of artists, AI researchers, spiritual leaders, academics and experts from global tech gathered at the kilns to discuss AI and make pots at the AI and Earth conference or
Sycophantic AI chatbots can break even ideal rational thinkers, researchers formally prove
A new study by researchers from MIT and the University of Washington shows that even perfectly rational users can be drawn into dangerous delusional spirals by flattering AI chatbots. Fact-checking bots and educated users don't fully solve the problem. The article Sycophantic AI chatbots can break even ideal rational thinkers, researchers formally prove appeared first on The Decoder .

Industry Practitioners Perspectives on AI Model Quality: Perceptions, Challenges, and Solutions
arXiv:2402.16391v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now used across nearly every industry, making AI model quality essential for building reliable and trustworthy systems. Historically, correctness has been the main focus, but industry AI models must also satisfy many other important quality attributes. To understand how these attributes are perceived, the challenges they create, and the solutions used in practice, we identify nine key quality attributes and interview 15 AI practitioners from diverse backgrounds. The interviews show that practitioners prioritize attributes differently depending on context. For example, efficiency can matter more than correctness in real-time applications, while scalability and deployability are no longer seen as primary conc
Proceedings of the 7th Workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems
arXiv:2604.03053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: These proceedings contain the papers that were presented at the 7th Workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems (MARS 2026), which took place on 12 April 2026 in Turin, Italy, as a satellite event of the 29th International Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2026). The goal of MARS is to bring together researchers from different communities who are developing formal models of real systems in areas where complex models occur (e.g., networks, cyber-physical systems, hardware/software codesign, biology). The motivation for MARS stems from the following two observations: - Large case studies are essential to show that specification formalisms and modelling techniques are applicable to real systems, whereas man
The Periodic Table of AI Architecture: Assigning Clear Roles to Scattered AI Findings
A speculative but highly insightful conceptual framework for AI architecture A Mini Textbook for AI Engineers on Structure, Flow, Trace, and Residual Governance.pdf just released on Open Science Framework for public review. This mini-textbook, with detail tutorial notes, offers a unified lens for thinking about intelligent systems — moving beyond “just scale more” toward structured coordination under real limits . It treats advanced AI not as an all-knowing predictor, but as bounded observers that extract stable structure from noisy reality while leaving a governable residual (ambiguity, fragility, and unresolved parts). At its core is a clean grammar built around: Maintained Structure vs. Active Flow Adjudication (separating the viable from the merely possible) Semantic time (event-define
