Filippos's PhD dissertation focuses on developing a method for recognizing object states without visual training data. By leveraging semantic knowledge from online sources and Large Language Models, structured as Knowledge Graphs, Graph Neural Networks learn representations for accurate state classification. In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. The Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for a group of PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives in an interdisciplinary workshop together with a panel of established researchers. In this latest interview, we met with Filippos Gouidis, who has recently completed his PhD, and found out more about his research on object state classification.

AI is supposed to save time, boost your output, and even help kickstart your creativity.

Microsoft's AI Skills Fest offers courses that are open for all skill levels.

As AI becomes an increasingly used tool by organizations across all industries, studies show that employees' expectations of being knowledgeable about AI are only increasing. Now, Google is presenting business leaders with a new AI literacy opportunity. On Wednesday, Google Cloud announced a "first-of-its-kind" generative AI certification geared toward non-technical learners, such as managers and business leaders, who want to learn about AI's impacts beyond coding. According to Google, the course focuses on how to strategically adopt, discuss, and lead generative AI efforts. The Google Cloud Generative AI Leader certification exam, which costs 99 and lasts 90 minutes, is available starting May 14.

Is it just me, or are all posts on social media starting to look and sound the same? Next thing you know, the floodgates open, and what can only be described as digital diarrhea takes over your timeline, featuring the exact same thing, only from different creators. Now I know what you're thinking, "AI did it again." It may have played a role, but AI isn't the villain in today's story. In today's article, I explain how algorithms kill originality, why copying beats creating right now, what that means for future innovators, and how to stand out in 2025.

There's a catch: the author, genre-defining mystery writer Agatha Christie, died 50 years ago, and was thus unavailable to participate. Instead, BBC Maestro used an actress and artificial intelligence to recreate Christie, drawing from the author's own novels, interviews, and letters for the course material. The creators describe the effort as a "world-first," and the "Agatha Christie On Writing" masterclass is available now. Almost as soon as the course launched, critics accused the BBC of making an Agatha Christie "deepfake." Meanwhile, BBC Maestro wants to emphasize the participation of the Christie estate and their high esteem for the late author.

AI continues to expand its reach into our lives, and language learning is next on the list. This week brought big developments from both Google and Duolingo on that front. On Google's end, the search giant launched new Gemini-powered AI tools for users to learn foreign languages. Dubbed Little Language Lessons, the experimental feature offers three interactive lessons that "personalize language learning." For instance, "Tiny Lesson" can help you learn phrases for specific situations (such as losing your passport), while "Slang Hang" helps users learn local slang for less-stuffy conversation.
