This illustration depicts a non-destructive evaluation system empowered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate and analyze internal material defects. Leveraging virtual defect engineering and advanced AI, the system supports high-fidelity ultrasonic imaging, and enables rapid, defect-aware diagnostics without causing damage. This addresses data scarcity and enhances reliability in modern industrial applications. Credit: Prof. Sooyoung Lee f

Shutterstock / Futurism It’s no secret that YouTube is overrun with AI slop. It’s made gestures towards reining in the flood of chintzy AI imagery, and now it’s signaling that it’s getting a little more serious about enforcing its own (still relatively lax) standards on videos made with the tech. On Wednesday, the Google-owned platform announced changes to how it would start labeling AI-generated content. The most noticeable update is that the labels will

Brandon Bell/Getty Images/Shutterstock/Futurism Texas is tripling down on the construction of AI data centers, at any cost. But there’s a glaring problem that’s grinding construction plans to a halt: a woefully inadequate power grid that won’t be able to support all of these new facilities. As The Texas Tribune reports, governor Greg Abbott announced a moratorium for all new data center approvals on Monday. It certainly wasn’t a response to the spiking bip

Disney has embraced generative AI at scale, licensing its fiercely protected characters for AI content creation. Walt Disney and OpenAI announced a three-year licensing deal Thursday that will allow users to create short videos featuring beloved Disney characters through artificial intelligence. The deal marks the first time a major entertainment company has embraced generative AI at this scale, licensing its fiercely protected characters—from Mickey Mouse

LTT Labs, which conducts hardware testing, has published the results of its comparison between Apple’s foldable smartphone, the “iPhone Duo,” and the iPhone 18 Pro and a Samsung smartphone. In addition to CPU and GPU performance, it also examined heat generation and performance degradation under heavy load, as well as differences in battery life depending on the screen used. iPhone Launch 2026 Testing - Round Duo | LTT Labs https://www.lttlabs.com/articles

The missing piece of the puzzle is buried somewhere in a stack of binders, and no one knows for how long. In early June, beneath the wood-paneled ceilings of Versailles, Masayoshi Son (Softbank) was promising up to 75 billion euros worth of AI data centers for France, with a presidential handshake to top

The servers, for their part, clearly hadn’t read the press release. You may have followed the launch of GPT-6 Astra on September 3 with the same excitement as OpenAI executives, who saw it as “the beginning of the AGI era.” Seven days late

The last time we did comparative tests of AI models from OpenAI and Google at Ars was in late 2023, when Google’s offering was still called Bard. In the roughly two years since, a lot has happened in the world of artificial intelligence. And now that Apple has made the consequential decision to partner with Google Gemini to power the next generation of its Siri voice assistant, we thought it was high time to do some new tests to see where the models from t
