Engineers forever strive to make our interactions with AI more human-like, but a new study suggests a personal touch isn’t always welcome. Researchers from Penn State and the University of California, Santa Barbara found that people are less likely to follow the advice of an AI doctor that knows their name and medical history. Their two-phase study randomly assigned participants to chatbots that identified themselves as either AI, human, or human assisted by AI. The first part of the study was framed as a visit to a new doctor on an e-health platform.  [Read more: This dude drove an EV from the Netherlands…

Another year, another set of chips by Intel. The company today announced its 11th-gen H-series chips — codenamed Tiger Lake-H — which the company claims offer up to a 19% speed boost over the prior comet lake technology. The H-series chips are normally found in larger gaming and desktop-replacement laptops, so it’s a welcome improvement. The jump in performance isn’t exactly a huge surprise; Intel is moving from a 14nm architecture to a 10nm one, so the improvements are to be expected. Still, it’s a relief, as Intel’s H-series chips had been stuck at 14nm since way back with 2015’s…

There’s no proof you’re going to die. Don’t take that the wrong way; there’s a lot of evidence. But proof is for math, and death is only certain in retrospect. That’s why any research that pushes the boundaries of what we can observe, test, and replicate when it comes to the wacky world of quantum mechanics is exciting. Spooky action at a distance could be our ticket to immortality. An international team of researchers recently published work demonstrating quantum entanglement at an unprecedented macro-scale. Per a report from Science Alert’s David Nield: The dimensions involved are still very small from…
