By combining robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI), Maryland Engineering researchers and students are building solutions that can help save lives, protect property, and safeguard the environment.

An AI-powered app helping children speak to endangered animals; a tool to use nature to fight climate change; a way to measure forest health; and a method to make decisions to build healthy communities - these four projects are using space data to help nature.

Two Senate committees Tuesday unanimously passed a bill that continues momentum for a proposed artificial intelligence institute at the University of Hawaii.

The ocean covers nearly three-quarters of our planet but scientists say we have barely scratched the surface of what lives in our seas. But new

Species classification and distribution mapping have traditionally relied on isolated data sources such as image recognition or geographic information systems. While these approaches provide useful insights,

Meanwhile, in the federal courthouse in San Francisco, artists are suing companies Stability AI, DeviantArt, Midjourney and Runway AI. Their legal complaint describes the firms' AI-powered image generators as "copyright-laundering devices, promising customers the benefits of art without the costs of artists."

To tackle data-retrieval-based hallucinations in non-diagnostic use cases, Mayo Clinic has applied CURE reverse RAG paired with vector databases.

Beyond speed, AI has also helped reduce costs. Conventional methods required nearly $35,000 per genome analysis, but AI-driven models running on GPUs have lowered the cost to under $2,000, making high-quality genomic research more accessible.
