American Sign Language is the third most prevalent language in the United States — but there are vastly fewer AI tools developed with ASL data than data representing the country’s most common languages, English and Spanish. NVIDIA, the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday are helping close this gap with Signs, an interactive web platform built to support ASL learning and the development of accessible AI applications. Sign language learners can access the platform’s […]
Any motorist who has ever waited through multiple cycles for a traffic light to turn green knows how annoying signalized intersections can be. But sitting at intersections isn’t just a drag on drivers’ patience — unproductive vehicle idling could contribute as much as 15 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. land transportation. A large-scale modeling study led by MIT researchers reveals that eco-driving measures, which can involve dynamically adjusting vehicle speeds to reduce stopping and excessive […]

The evidence is clear: employment is […]
Author(s): AI Rabbit Originally published on Towards AI. Agentic Era If your architecture still looks like “User Query Vector DB LLM,” you aren’t building an AI application; you’re building a hallucination engine. The “naive” RAG era where we just dumped PDFs into Pinecone and prayed for the best is officially over. Here is the technical reality of RAG in 2025.The article discusses the evolution of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, emphasizing the transition from outdated linear architectures to more […]
Ernest Opoku knew he wanted to become a scientist when he was a little boy. But his school in Dadease, a small town in Ghana, offered no elective science courses — so Opoku created one for himself. Even though they had neither a dedicated science classroom nor a lab, Opoku convinced his principal to bring in someone to teach him and five other friends he had convinced to join him. With just a chalkboard and some imagination, they […]
Trump signed an AI executive order targeting state laws and promising one national rulebook. Critics warn it could trigger court battles and prolong uncertainty for startups while Congress debates federal rules.
