OpenAI is calling for the formation of an international organization to oversee AI development. And to slow it down, if necessary: “One goal of such an organization should be to make it possible for the world to take coordinated action, including slowing frontier development when needed, so societal resilience, safety, and alignment can keep pace,” the company wrote in a blog post published Monday. The memo, written by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chief scien

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission filings, his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million

I underestimated how fast security teams would trust AI to act in the SOC For most of my career, I have watched new security platforms work through enterprise programs at a slow pace, so when AI began showing up in security operations tools, I assumed it would follow the same path. I expected AI adoption in the SOC to lag behind almost every other category of security technology, because I’d always viewed the tension between moving quickly on innovations a

In an annual report, the WTO identified AI as one of the few bright spots as the global trading system has been upended by the United States slapping high tariffs on its trading partners. Artificial intelligence could boost the value of global trade by almost 40% by 2040 thanks to cost reductions and productivity gains, the World Trade Organization said Wednesday. In its latest annual World Trade Report, the WTO identified AI as one of the few bright spots

Recently proposed regulations from the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) have encouraged a firm hand when it comes to “human-like interactive AI services,” according to CNBC, which translated the document.

A computer freezing at the worst possible moment, a navigation app leading us straight into a traffic jam, or a washing machine suddenly stopping mid-cycle—all are everyday situations that trigger anger and irritation. But a new study by two Israeli researchers offers a different perspective: it turns out that we also apply mechanisms of forgiveness toward tec

Now, the freshly-joined entity is facing one of its first maj

Those who take software seriously must design their own hardware, as the pioneer Alan Kay stated in the 1980s. OpenAI is well on its way to following this maxim: the creator of ChatGPT has been working on their own devices for some time and did not

Upon waking up, Google has released the Gemini 4 model again. On November 12, Google officially launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen and simultaneously introduced the multi-model intelligent scheduling system Orchestrator. This is a large model at the Flash level (also the successor to Gemini 3.8 Flash), natively multimodal, with an input, thinking, and output window of 1 million tokens. However, according to Gemini's new naming convention, Google has chosen Hydroge

Futurism Anthropic aired a spicy ad during this year’s Super Bowl, skewering competitor OpenAI’s decision to cram ChatGPT with ads for users who don’t pay for a subscription. “Ads are coming to AI,” the ad’s tagline reads. “But not to Claude.” The marketing campaign appeared to hit a nerve, sending OpenAI CEO Sam Altman — who called ads a “last resort” a mere two years ago — into a tailspin in which he accused Anthropic of “doublespeak.” Needless to say, i

Marvel Studios spent significant time at its last two major conventions teasing fans about some exciting returns. Starting at San Diego Comic-Con in July, Ryan Reynolds showed up dressed as Deadpool and asked to be in Avengers: Doomsday. Then, at D23 in August, Hugh Jackman filmed a video where he did the same for Wolverine. We still don’t know for sure whether Deadpool and Wolverine are in the movie, but we are sure the actors had a significant hand in it
