AIbase report: According to neowin, the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology recently announced the launch of the 'Crime Data Aggregation Challenge', aiming to create an AI-driven real-time crime map for England and Wales by 2030. The map is designed to predict high-risk events such as knife crimes and anti-social behavior, helping the police deploy resources in advance and take proactive measures. The project is part of the UK's £500 million R&D Accelerator program, with an initial investment of £4 million, and a prototype is expected to be ready by April 2026.
Recently, a research team from Renmin University, Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, University College London, and Dalian University of Technology revealed an important finding in the reasoning process of large models: when the model is thinking, the 'thinking words' it uses actually reflect a significant increase in its internal information. This research result provides a new perspective for better understanding the reasoning mechanisms of artificial intelligence through methods of information theory. You may have seen large models output some language that seems human-like when answering questions, such as "Hmm..." or "Let me think...".
Google launched a new experimental app called Doppl on Thursday in the US for iOS and Android platforms, aiming to let users see how different clothes look on them through artificial intelligence technology.
