Despite the instrumental role Asians have played in developing American infrastructure and institutions, they are rarely mentioned in popular U.S. history textbooks, according to a new study

Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more Everything about OpenAI view more When OpenAI launched the GPT-6 Astra model, the company's president, Greg Brockman, said that “the era of General Artificial Intelligence” – AGI, in English acronym – had begun. The executive also said that “everyone has a different definition” about what AGI is.Until then, the most advanced model from the developer of ChatGPT was the GPT-5.6 Sol. Now, it's the GPT- 6 Astr

AI tests the limits of enterprise security governance AI agents are forcing enterprises to rethink security governance, human accountability and oversight as deployments scale. AWS’s Reimagine 2026 argues that organizations need to build governance into their systems and keep humans accountable for outcomes. The findings come from confidential interviews of 45 to 60 minutes with 154 executives at 128 organizations in 23 industries, conducted over nine mont

For almost two weeks, high-ranking team members at Anthropic have been in talks with the Trump Administration, trying to get a highly restrictive export control directive lifted. According to a new report from Wired, these talks weren’t going well, and that was at least in part because CEO Dario Amodei was involved, but it’s being reported that since Amodei left the talks, things are looking up. Per Wired, the White House is now talking to Tom Brown, anoth

Most of us have at one point or another had a dream in which we were unable to speak or move; to wake up from such a nightmare—and to recall what it’s like to be able to freely use your voice—feels like a liberation. Now, Meta says it’s getting closer to helping people who actually live with this paralyzing condition to communicate through the use of brainwave-decoding AI. On Monday, the company introduced Brain2Qwerty v2, its latest effort to translate no

In a stunning display of what happens when someone gets stupid prizes after playing stupid games, the 22-year-old Schiffmann lamented that he is “tired of talking to New Yorkers.” Yes, you read that correctly. The ma

Sarah Ezekiel's son Eric grew up never knowing how his mother had once spoken. A British woman suffering from motor neuron disease who lost her ability to speak is once again talking in her own voice thanks to artificial intelligence and a barely audible eight-second clip from an old home video. Sarah Ezekiel, an artist, was left without the use of her voice after she was diagnosed at the age of 34 with MND while pregnant with her second child 25 years ago

At least, that’s according to officials from the Independent Center, a nonprofit that studies independent voters. In the US, voters can register to vote in elections as an “independent,” as opposed to a Republican or Democra

The news came as Alibaba's shares soared more than 9% in Hong Kong after chief executive Eddie Wu unveiled plans to further ramp up spending on artificial intelligence. China and the United States are locked in a fierce tech battle, with the Calif

A lack of regulation in the U.S. surrounding the use of deepfakes has led to a wave of AI artists washing over streaming platforms, but on Tuesday, Spotify announced it was taking a new step to give users some clarity around whether an artist is an actual human being, or a human-like character created by an algorithm. Starting in mid-September, the company will begin applying an “AI Persona” label to the latter category. “Listeners have been clear in telli

Published on February 20, 2026 at 15:03 Comment 0 𝕏 Print © Amazon Putting AI in charge of a server may not be a very good idea. Amazon Web Services has experienced at least two service outages in the past few months. Cause: AI agents specialized in software development that caused outages by doing things at random. Amazon insists, however, that it was a human error. The big players in AI have only one word on their lips: agents will do all the work for us

The study is published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles released by the sun. When these particles speed up, they can cause "space we

There will always be back-breaking jobs you can do when your office ones get taken over by obsequious AI models. For one reason or another, plumbing is the profession that AI figures keep coming back to when they assure us that there’ll still be leftovers after a AI jobs apocalypse. A new piece in the Financial Times explores how plumbing has become the “career t

Getty / Futurism The Cyberspace Administration of China is cracking down on “digital humans,” with incoming regulations that will soon require labeling of AI personalities and ban programs that could harm children or lead to addiction. Those draft regulations, first reported in English by Reuters, would force AI companies to affix prominent “digital human” labels on content featuring AI generated characters. They’d also restrict companies that provide “vir

Getty / Futurism AI isn’t all chatbots and meme generators. According to a new study published in the journal Science, it can also serve as a fountain of misinformation — and all it takes is for someone to turn open the spigot. The new research examines the scale at which AI, namely large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents, can be used to manipulate opinions on a “population-wide level.” The researchers point to a specific threat in the form of A
