The team aimed to determine if LLMs can develop human-like object representations from diverse data sources such as text and audio.
https://nypost.com/2025/06/16/tech/ai-has-human-thought-processes-study-says/The global economic cost of cybercrime is projected to exceed AU$20 trillion by 2028 as sophisticated AI-powered attacks become more prevalent, exploiting vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure. In Australia, recent high-profile breaches have highlighted the need for improved digital resilience among individuals and organizations. Cybercriminals are leveraging AI to automate phishing attempts, generate realistic fake content, and identify system weaknesses, making it harder to detect and defend against threats. To combat this, AI-powered tools are being used to analyze vast volumes of data in real-time, identifying unusual patterns or behaviors that may signal a breach. However, the accuracy of these systems depends on high-quality training data, and concerns around adversarial attacks, privacy, accountability, and transparency remain. Small and medium enterprises are particularly vulnerable due to lack of dedicated IT or security teams, but simple steps like updating systems regularly and conducting staff training can make a significant difference in improving digital resilience.

The initiative came after the popularity of generative AI, exemplified by OpenAI's ChatGPT, but has since shifted focus from safety to competing in the AI race. In January, US President Donald Trump revoked an executive order from the Biden era that prioritized "safe, secure and trustworthy" AI, a rare victory for the EU.
