New York Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Requirements in News Act

New York passed the NY FAIR News Act, requiring news organizations operating in the state to provide clear disclosures for content substantially or wholly generated by AI and to implement safeguards protecting journalist sources and confidential materials from AI access. The bill is heading to Gov. Kathy Hochul for signature.

UNESCO summit backs ethical AI governance in Latin America and the Caribbean - Digital Watch Observatory

UNESCO-led ministerial summit in the Dominican Republic supported ethical AI governance and regional cooperation aligned with the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. Dominican authorities also announced a forthcoming national AI Code of Ethics.

POLICY HIGHLIGHTS

Accelerating Attention with Basis Decomposition

Attention is a core operation in large language models (LLMs). We present BD Attention (BDA), a lossless algorithmic reformulation of attention. BDA is enabled by a simple matrix identity from Basis Decomposition (BD), which restructures multi-head projections into a compact form while preserving exact outputs. Unlike I/O-aware system optimizations such as FlashAttention, BDA provides a mathematic

Health-ORSC-Bench: A Benchmark for Measuring Over-Refusal and Safety Completion in Health Context

Safety alignment in Large Language Models is critical for healthcare; however, reliance on binary refusal boundaries often results in over-refusal of benign queries or unsafe compliance with harmful ones. While existing benchmarks measure these extremes, they fail to evaluate Safe Completion: the model's ability to maximise helpfulness on dual-use or borderline queries by providing safe, high-leve

MeDUET: Disentangled Unified Pretraining for 3D Medical Image Synthesis and Analysis

Self-supervised learning (SSL) and diffusion models have respectively advanced representation learning and generative modeling for high-dimensional 3D visual data, yet they are often developed as separate paradigms. Their unification remains challenging under multi-source heterogeneity, as anatomical content must be preserved for analysis while acquisition-related style varies across centers and a

Coarse-to-Fine: A Hybrid Self-Supervised Method for Non-rigid 3D Shape Matching

Non-rigid 3D shape matching is a fundamental task in computer vision and graphics. In this paper, we propose a hybrid self-supervised method based on a coarse-to-fine strategy, which ensures consistency between the coarse mapping and the refined correspondence produced by our refinement module. The architecture features a dual-branch design, consisting of two symmetric functional map learning stre

ReFreeKV: Towards Threshold-Free KV Cache Compression

To reduce memory consumption during LLM inference, a handful of methods have been proposed for KV cache pruning. While these techniques can accomplish lossless memory reduction on many datasets, they often hinge on an under-emphasized condition: an input/domain-specific threshold for KV cache budget needs to be pre-determined to achieve the optimal performance. However, such input-sensitive design
