His answer to the AI era comes down to an assistant named Charlie, designed to serve the user rather than the platform hosting it. Since he gave the web to the world in 1989, Tim Berners-Lee has spent part of his time correcting its excesses, from algorithms engineered to be addictive to platforms that moneti

These are 13,373 decisions; the temperature was tuned on the other half of the validation set.The numbers are optimistic because the same validation split was used to select the epoch. It is shown below that the published temperature does not transfer to unseen labels and new domains. Therefore, it needs to be retuned on your own data. A few hundred labeled rows are sufficient; the fit_temperature.py script is in the repository.What changed in 1.3Version 1

On one end is the Silicon Valley model, where powerful, resource-heavy AI development wreaks havoc on the population, driven by what is arguably the most powerful corporate power consolidation to ever exist. Across the Pacific it’s another story, where intense competition and people-centric AI regulation mean that today’s to

DOI: 10.1038/s42256-025-01146-z In a new research project led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim, scientists are investigating how insights into learning processes in animal brains can be used to make artificial intelligence (AI) systems more flexible and efficient. The project is titled NAILIt—Neuro-inspired AI f

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Anthropic, the creator of Claude, is advocating in the United States a bill that would allow the launch of artificial intelligence models to be suspended in the face of serious risks. The mechanism establishes specific criteria for threats and requires that the suspension be requested from the courts.The draft, obtained by Politico, also establishes independent evaluations and deadlines for communicating po

After withdrawing his lawsuit in June for unknown reasons, Elon Musk has revived a complaint accusing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman of fraudulently inducing Musk to contribute $44 million in seed funding by promising that OpenAI would always open-source its technology and prioritize serving the public good over profits as a permanent nonprofit. Instead, Musk alleged that Altman and his co-conspirators—“preying on Musk’s humanitarian concern about the exist

Surprisingly, Apple has announced a radical expansion of Siri AI’s capabilities. In the future, every iPhone app will be able to connect to the AI system: Siri AI will then be able to operate apps, perform functions in multiple steps, and work across app boundaries. Developers can already test this in the iOS 27.3 beta; the first apps with Siri integration are expected to follow for iPhone users in spring 2027. Apple CEO John Ternus recently emphasized tha

Delta spent July dealing with backlash over what the airline company claims is widespread public confusion over its AI pricing system. Now, Delta has finally come forward to break down precisely how the AI pricing works to dispute what it claims are “incorrect” characterizations by consumer watchdogs, lawmakers, and media outlets. In a letter to lawmakers who accused Delta of using AI to spy on customers’ personal data in order to “jack up” prices, Delta i

Shutterstock / Futurism Microsoft just filed a patent for an AI product that would be able to transform live video in real time to alter speakers’ words and faces. The patent, as first flagged by patent-tracker Patentlyze, is described by its inventors as a “near real-time artificial intelligence (AI) enhancement of video or augmented reality (AR) presentations of live events.” Using AI agents, the system would identify and alter or remove certain words, w

Critics hope to keep Elon Musk from escaping a strict data-privacy order imposed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) shortly before he took over Twitter. The FTC order placed restrictions on X’s data use for 20 years, while requiring regular independent audits and granting the agency authority to request documents as needed to ensure compliance. The FTC’s action came after Twitter voluntarily disclosed that between May 2013 and September 2019, a coding e

Believe it or not, there was a time when searching the web for images was not possible. Twenty-five years ago, Google launched image search, and it’s celebrating by looking back at its biggest visual milestones and refreshing the experience for today’s searchers. The celebration also includes expanded AI because that’s just how Google rolls in 2026. Google claims the impetus for image search a quarter-century ago was the green Versace dress Jennifer Lopez

GMO Aozora Net Bank temporarily suspended its banking API service twice from the evening of November 10 until the morning of November 11. This was because unauthorized communication from outside was detected targeting its banking API connection infrastructure, and was described as “a preventive measure to ensure security.” No leakage of personal information or unauthorized outflow of funds has occurred.

An initiative to use AI to recreate the judgments and thinking of top management is spreading among major companies in Japan. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group introduced an “AI CEO” modeled after its group CEO in August 2025. Kirin Holdings incorporated “AI executives CoreMate,” featuring 12 AI personas, into its management strategy meetings and expanded the initiative to group companies in April 2026. NTT Docomo Business is one such company. At “Interop To

Cal AI, which was founded in 2024, exploded onto the internet thanks largely to Yadegari’s strategy of deploying a small army of influencers to promote the brand. The company generated over $30 million in revenue in two years and was acquired by MyFitnessPal for an undisclosed amount of money in March. Discussing his social strategy onstage, Yadegari noted that an early sign of success came when an influencer’s post about them led to approximately a thousa

“Imagine if something like that happened in the physical world,” Howie Sun, CEO and co-founder of Laplace Intelligence, told TechCrunch. “AI agents are moving from computers into the real world, and we don’t really want physical AI to fail in the real world.” Ann Arbor-based Laplace is building automated red-teaming — essentially, stress-testing a system by deliberately trying to make it fail — for robotics and physical AI. The company is betting that the
