The Pain Axis: LLMs Represent Self-Directed Harm and Act to Relieve It

Large language models sometimes behave in ways resembling human emotional responses, and recent work has identified internal representations that may explain this. We ask whether LLMs represent pain distinctly from fear, sadness, and generic negative valence, and whether this representation functions as pain would be expected to. We build a dataset describing painful situations across five categories: physical, psychological, social, moral, and cognitive.

Humanist AI Code of Conduct | Microsoft AI

This document outlines the intended behavior and values of MAI models, the models developed by Microsoft AI. It summarizes our approach to training and operating them, following a set of design principles we call Humanist AI. This document, and our approach more generally, is still under development so we are not using it to train our models today. Instead, we’re sharing it broadly for public consultation. We’ll take feedback, iterate on it, and publish a revised version toward the end of the year, which we’ll use to guide our model development in 2027 and beyond.

Predicting genome-wide functional constraints with GPN-Star | Nature

Here we introduce a genomic pretrained network with species tree and alignment representations (GPN-Star), which is a biologically grounded genomic language model featuring a phylogeny-aware architecture that leverages whole-genome alignments and species trees to model evolutionary relationships explicitly.

Artificial Intelligence in Multimodal Microscopy Workflows for Failure Analysis | ZEISS

Advancements in Image Processing: The integration of AI, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) has revolutionized image processing and analysis, enabling high-resolution, non-destructive imaging for failure analysis (FA) in electronics and semiconductors. AI-Powered Image Segmentation: AI-driven segmentation techniques improve the precision and scalability of defect detection, addressing challenges posed by complex and high-dimensional image datasets. Future of FA with AI and Data Management: The adoption of cloud-based training, multimodal pipelines, and robust data management systems is paving the way for automated, efficient, and predictive failure analysis workflows.
