    Even intelligent machines can be manipulated like puppets

    Even an intelligent machine can be manipulated like a puppet. Cyberneticists call this a 'malicious antagonistic attack'. That is why scientists, including researchers at the Military University of Technology, conduct research on antagonistic activities, said the guest of Studio PAP, Col. Rafał Kasprzyk, PhD, from the Military University of Technology.

    'Polish hat' for any language model was created as part of PLLuM

    PLLuM language models were trained on Polish texts, tuned on Polish instructions and raised on the preferences of Polish users. Thanks to this, in addition to ready-made models, a 'Polish hat' has been created, which can be added to any language model, says AI expert Jan Kocoń, PhD.

Precipitation to glass: It takes water days to thousands of years to make this 'journey'

From several days to even hundreds and thousands of years - this is how long it takes for water precipitation that fell on the Earth's surface to reach the groundwater level, where over 70 percent of drinking water in Poland comes from, says hydrogeologist Małgorzata Woźnicka, PhD.
