Just days after AI music company Suno released its first model trained on material from major record labels with their permission, one of the few holdout labels, Universal Music Group, has entered the fray with its own project. As part of a partnership with AI audio startup ElevenLabs, the label announced that it is launching an AI-powered platform that will let users remix songs. There aren’t a lot of details about the platform—they don’t even give it a n

The mechanics of the AI language humanisersAn AI language humaniser is a sophisticated software application engineered to transform text produced by large language models into prose that more closely resembles human authorship. Its primary objective is to smooth out the typical AI “tells,” like repetitive sentence structures, overly formal or generic vocabulary, and a lack of emotional depth or personal voice, making the content sound more natural and enga

Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images/Futurism Elon Musk helped birth OpenAI in 2015, a world-changing AI non-profit which he lavished with tens of millions of dollars alongside its now-CEO Sam Altman. Now in 2026, he’s suing to unwind the entire project with a civil suit, claiming that Altman betrayed the nonprofit’s mission by turning it into a profit-seeking machine — nevermind the fact that Musk also runs his own for-profit AI company, xAI. The civil trial, tak

Source: Getty Images If you’ve been to a medical appointment in the past two or three years, chances are high that your doctor was using an AI scribe: software that listens into the conversation, transcribing it and structuring it into the format of medical notes. In theory it’s a cool idea, but pain points abound. Earlier this week, Ontario’s auditor general — an accountability officer acting under the Legis

A new study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Northeastern University found that top AI models are horrible at analyzing professional sports. The yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study sought to analyze how capable the most popular AI model

Microsoft today accidentally re-activated “Tay,” its Hitler-loving Twitter chatbot, only to be forced to kill her off for the second time in a week. Tay “went on a spam tirade and then quickly fell silent again,” TechCrunch reported this morning. “Most of the new messages from the millennial-mimicking character simply read ‘you are too fast, please take a rest,’” according to the The Financial Times. “But other tweets included swear words and apparently ap

As The Guardian reports, the enormous facility ten miles from London Heathrow is making the sweltering heat even more unbearable, with local residents likening the experience to something “pinchi

Meta is on a mission “to bring personal superintelligence to everyone,” as CEO Mark Zuckerberg put it last year. We got our first glimpse of what that vision looks like earlier this month: a deceptively cutesy, Tamagotchi-like personal AI agent called Muse. On Monday, the company announced it’s also bringing its superintelligence ambitions to the all-important enterprise market with the launch of a new internal business unit. The Meta Enterprise Platform,

“It’s time to lay our cards on the table”: the UN takes on the hidden environmental cost of AI Published on 25 June 2026 at 07:32 Comment 2 𝕏 Print © panumas nikhomkhai (Pexels) During London Climate Action Week, the UN secretary general launched a campaign against the AI giants. The aim: to publish the actual energy bill for data centers. The debate is intensifying over the energy consumption associated with the development of artificial intelligence. On

Shutterstock / Futurism It’s become strangely difficult to attend a work meeting without the presence of an AI recording tool that’s carefully jotting down what every single participant is saying. Some people in tech circles are taking the trend to perverse ends by recording every single conversation they’re having — not just at work but in their private lives as well, as the Wall Street Journal reports. Worse yet, many of them aren’t even asking for permi

Shutterstock / Maximumm On Thursday, three major chatbots — ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok — all went down without warning. The simultaneous outage of three flagship from AI systems from three different providers was bizarre. But, in an exceedingly peculiar information gap, we still don’t know why models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI respectively suffered outages at the same time, Wired reports. Whatever linked the disruptions, for now, remains unclear.
