The road to commercialization isn’t easy. But you wouldn’t know that from the success stories coming out of the Technion and the Jacobs […]
For more than 40 years, Avi Wigderson has studied problems. But as a computational complexity theorist, he doesn’t necessarily care about the answers to these problems. He often just wants to know if they’re solvable or not, and how to tell. “The situation is ridiculous,” said Wigderson, a computer scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. No matter how hard a question seems, an efficient way to answer it could be hiding just out of reach. “As far as we know, for every problem that we face and try to solve, we can’t rule out that…
Stav Cohen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Technion’s Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences. He is researching generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) methodologies, with a specific emphasis on security and operational aspects. He recently discovered, or rather created, a potential threat to GenAI systems. GenAI uses artificial intelligence to create unique content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. This technology is becoming increasingly popular. It’s used to automatically make calendar bookings, create chat boxes on websites, write poetry and love songs, and more. But as these tools become more powerful and “intelligent,” there is also an increased danger…
