According to Tech Explore, Facebook has developed a new AI benchmarking program that includes humans interacting with the AI. 

Advances in artificial intelligence depend on continual testing of massive amounts of data. This benchmark testing allows researchers to determine how "intelligent" AI is, spot weaknesses and then develop stronger, smarter models. 

Artificial intelligence can be used to predict loneliness in older adults, reports Medical Express. 

For the past couple of decades, there has been a loneliness pandemic, marked by rising rates of suicides and opioid use, lost productivity, increased health care costs and rising mortality. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its associated social distancing and lockdowns, have only made things worse, say experts. 

Artificial intelligence is training on text and images and may soon be able to caption pictures correctly, reports on MIT Technology Review.
