Fake or real? It is increasingly difficult to tell whether it's a human or an AI-generated voice that is speaking - at least consciously. Researchers have observed that our brains reacts differently to deepfake voices than to natural ones, even though we may not be fully aware of this. Fake voices appear to lead to less pleasure when listening, according to the study published in the journal Communications Biology. Algorithms for voice synthesis are now so powerful that the characteristics of voice clones come very close to those of natural speakers. Voices imitated with deepfake technologies ...

Men eat meat more often than women - but according to a new study, this tendency is not observed in all countries around the world. Counter to common assumptions in many countries, there is no fundamental difference between the sexes when it comes to meat, according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Instead, it appears that the more developed the country is and the more equal men and women are in that country, the greater the differences in meat consumption become. The researchers led by Christopher Hopwood from the University of Zurich write that the opposite is ofte...

Sceptical office managers should stick with hybrid working, according to researchers writing in the journal Nature, who found evidence in China that working from home makes employees less likely to quit and can save a business millions of dollars. The team said hybrid work models "improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third," with "significant" reductions seen among "non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes." "A hybrid schedule with two days a week working from home does not damage performance," according to the researchers, who looked at the effects of the...

Artificial intelligence could soon be helping to deliver faster and more accurate weather forecasts, according to meteorologists in Germany behind new research into the use of AI in forecasting models. Researchers from Germany's meteorological service Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) say that, in a world first, they relied exclusively on AI to successfully feed data from weather observation into forecasting models and analysis processes. "Offering the potential to speed up and improve analyses and forecasts dramatically," this development is set to benefit anyone looking at weather forecasts, the ...

Knee osteoarthritis sufferers shun exercise even if they are told it can diminish the pain and stiffness caused by the condition. That’s according to doctors at the University of South Australia, who found people - despite them knowing the opposite to be true - to "unconsciously believe" they could further damage a gammy knee if they exercise on it. "While physical activity is known to ease symptoms, only one in 10 people regularly exercise," the researchers said, finding some to deem exercise as "dangerous" even if they have been given medical advice to the contrary. "Research shows that phys...
