Now, research published in the International Journal of Computational Systems Engineering shows how artificial intelligence, specifically machine vision, could bring unprecedented precision to one of the sport's most contested areas: the detection of fouls. Machine vision is a

It’s been a while since the internet felt like a place where you could be transported into another world—where landing on someone’s website meant entering a space shaped by their ideas and designed on their terms. Now everything feels so uniform—made worse by the vibe-coding aesthetic that has mass-produced an explosion of visual sameness. A good fix for that would be to return to a web where creativity reigns. A bad fix for it would be to slap filters tha

The study, published in Sustainable Development, in collaboration with partners in Spain, found that AI technologies could give hotels, restaurants and cruise lines a competitive edge while dramatically

Nick Lachance / Toronto Star via Getty Images The San Diego Comic Con has quietly updated its policy to ban AI-generated art, 404 Media reports, providing a major victory to artists. The about-face is a welcome surprise. Until now, the massive convention — which has become a melting pot of all kinds of pop entertainment beyond the comic medium, with everyone ranging from game developers to movie studios using it as a platform to tease new content — has all

Paige Taylor White / AFP via Getty Images) A grim scoop from the Wall Street Journal: an automated review system at OpenAI flagged disturbing conversations that a future mass shooter was having with the company’s flagship AI ChatGPT — but, despite being urged by employees at the company to warn law enforcement, OpenAI leadership opted not to. The 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar ultimately killed eight people including herself and injured 25 more in Britis

Alexander Liteplo is that guy. And his idol, naturally, is Elon Musk. Liteplo is the genius behind RentAHuman, an online marketplace where h

On Wednesday, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company fired around 700 employees, according to reports from The New York Times and The Information. That number is only a sliver of

Less than two months after the discovery that OpenAI agents had escaped containment and hacked into Hugging Face, another report claims to have found evidence of another, remarkably similar incident—which OpenAI reportedly first learned about weeks ago but chose not to disclose to the public. According to a new report first shared with Reuters, two researchers had been scouring the internet in the aftermath of the Hugging Face hack, looking for evidence of

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Meta / Getty Images In ancient Roman times, military generals are thought to have used a tactic known as decimation to punish mutinous groups of mercenary soldiers. Essentially, they’d kill one in every 10 unruly soldiers as a horrifying message to discipline those who remained. Today, the same tactic is evidently in play — not by bloodthirsty generals, but by tech billionaires thinning their ranks to

This post was updated throughout on Thursday, Feb 9, to make clear that the method used to bypass ChatGPT restrictions is employing APIs for a GPT-3 model known as text-davinci-003 instead of ChatGPT. Both text-davinci-003 and ChatGPT are GPT-3 models (OpenAI later distinguished them as GPT-3.5 models.) ChatGPT is specifically designed for chatbot applications and has been fine tuned from GPT-3.5 models. Hackers have devised a way to bypass ChatGPT’s restr

Earl Aguila Over 30 student activists came together on Monday afternoon to occupy the Gallup Building in Washington DC, home to a public-facing lobbying office belonging to ChatGPT developer OpenAI. Once inside the lobby, the demonstrators unfurled a massive banner reading “Stop Stealing Our Future,” while others held signs with messages like “OpenAI bought my Senator.” The demonstration lasted two hours, and ended when police stormed the lobby, arresting

Warner Bros “Supergirl” just can’t flop in peace. The 2026 film is one of the biggest box office failures of the year and is the DC franchise’s lowest grossing film since Catwoman (2004). And now it’s the subject of yet another controversy: the apparent use of AI slop during its production. A behind the scenes video released by Warner Bros shows director Craig Gillespie and actor Jason Momoa looking at concept art for the character Lobo on a laptop. And ev
