Recognising human emotion is a complex challenge, yet crucial for creating truly intelligent systems, and researchers are now pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with advanced artificial intelligence. Jing Han from the University of Cambridge, Zhiqiang Gao and Shihao Gao from Hunan University, and their colleagues, present the first large-scale evaluation of how well large multimodal models, those capable of processing text, audio and video, understand emotion in real-world scenarios. This work moves beyond simply identifying a limited set of emotions, instead tackling the more difficult task of recognising a vast and open range of emotional expressions, and establishes essential…

China has built and launched a super-powered artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to tap directly into its national supercomputing network and conduct high-level scientific research on its own.The scheme was launched on December 23, a month after US President Donald Trump unveiled the Genesis Mission – an “AI Manhattan Project” aimed at securing US technological dominance.While the US plan is bound by tight timelines, requiring proof of progress within 270 days, China has already deployed its system at scale, serving more than a thousand potential institutional users nationwide.The new AI agent can take simple natural language commands and then independently…

The healthcare cloud computing market is growing, with DataM Intelligence projecting it will more than triple in value over the next decade.

by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 31, 2025 Researchers from Zhengzhou University, the University of Kent, and City University of Hong Kong have developed a framework to evaluate and optimize the spatiotemporal resilience of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled unmanned system of systems operating in complex missions. The work responds to the growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned vehicles in hazardous environments where maintaining function under disruption is critical. Conventional resilience assessments tend to track performance over time only, but the team argues that spatial factors, such as how platforms are positioned and how far…

Army officers interested in transferring will be able to apply through the service’s Voluntary Transfer Incentive Program beginning Jan. 5. Anastasia Obis December 31, 2025 3:25 pm 3 min read The Army is creating a dedicated artificial intelligence and machine-learning career field for officers as it pushes to integrate AI more deeply into its operations. The new 49B specialty establishes artificial intelligence and machine learning as an official “area of concentration” for Army officers, a move the service says will help accelerate its transformation into a more data-centric and AI-enabled force. The Army will roll out the new career field…
