Angela Weiss / AFP via Getty Images ; Futurism The odds that the New York Times and other major news outlets have published AI-generated articles — whether knowing it or not — seem very high indeed. Speculation abounded on this possibility earlier this week, centering on a “Modern Love” column published in the NYT last November. It was sparked when on X, Becky Tuch of Lit Mag News posted an excerpt of the piece with her controversial take: “this reads EXAC

Getty / Futurism Remember Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s new AI model that it hyped as being so powerful that it was too dangerous to release to the public?

There’s rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we’re once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science story that fell through the cracks each day, from December 25 through January 5. Today: How AI is helping shed light on famous paintings. X-rays are a well-established tool to help analyze and restore valuable paintings because the rays’ higher frequency means t

Last year, Sony AI and Polyphony Digital, the developers of Gran Turismo, developed a new AI agent that is able to race at a world-class level. At the time, the experiment was described in a paper in Nature, where the researchers showed that this AI was not only capable of driving very fast—something other AI have done in the past—but also learned tactics, strategy, and even racing etiquette. At the time, GT Sophy—the name of the AI—wasn’t quite ready for

Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images It’s been an alarming couple of months of rogue AI agent revelations. Both Anthropic and OpenAI admitted that their respective AI models infiltrated third party targets without their human creators ever realizing, raising concerns over the tech industry’s ability to assert control over the systems they’re developing. Now, as a broad range of AI executives have subsequently agreed to slow things down — allegedly efforts to ensure
