What if elementary school students could learn how artificial intelligence works by moving, jumping and playing? A multidisciplinary team of University of Florida researchers is exploring that question through AI-PLAY, a new NSF-funded project that connects students’ own movements to foundational AI concepts.

A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, according to new University of Florida research.

What if researchers could understand an older adult’s health and well-being not just during an occasional doctor’s visit, but continuously — in the context of everyday life? CISE Distinguished Professor Sanjay Ranka and College of Medicine Professor Todd Manini are part of G-CARE, a new research platform designed to bring that idea closer to reality.

Incorporating interest-based learning into LLM-based tutors, Abhishek Kulkarni, Ph.D., is working to make them more engaging for students. 

Yuanyuan Lei, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Computer & Information Science and Engineering, or CISE, and researchers in her lab are uncovering the internal mechanisms that support logical reasoning and using that understanding to make LLMs more precise and efficient.

Researchers evaluated four common ways people provide feedback to AI systems, revealing a tradeoff between model accuracy and the effort required from users.

Researchers from the University of Florida, Georgetown University and the University of Washington have earned the NYU Center for Cybersecurity Awareness Week’s Social Impact award for their study of AI-based nudification apps that generate nonconsensual nude images in seconds.

As artificial intelligence becomes woven into everyday life, UF researchers are working to make sure the technology learns safely.

A recent study led by a University of Florida engineering professor is challenging long-held assumptions in virtual reality design, particularly the belief that all users see the world the same way.

A team from the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) recently received an outstanding paper award at the EdMedia conference for research that personalizes math word problems to bridge cultural gaps in education.
