When generation deviates from the planned output, the electricity market imposes penalty fees called "imbalance penalties."

Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained ground in a new front of the 2026 elections: the mass production of offensive images against women in politics. A survey by the MonitorA project identified signs of AI use in 25% of the images classified as attacks or insults directed at candidates on X. Another 9% of the cases fell into an area of uncertainty, where researchers could not determine whether there was

Amazon has released a new local AWS emulator called "AWS Emulator" developed entirely by autonomous AI agents. It enables the development and testing of AWS applications by running AWS services in a local environment. Notably, the project for AWS Emulator does not involve any coding or code review by human engineers, demonstrating the ability of AI agents to autonomously generate code, execute tests, and resolve issues. AWS Emulator: a local emulator built

Chris Jung/NurPhoto via Getty Images/Futurism OpenAI is still committed to a whopping $600 billion in AI infrastructure investments over the next four years, a gargantuan spending spree that requires the ChatGPT maker to make massive strides in attracting new users — and, to put it crassly, make far more money than it currently is. The numbers don’t paint a flattering picture, with OpenAI barely crossing the $20 billion annualized revenue line last year. I

Amazon / Futurism Companies keep forcing AI features to do things that no one ever thought they needed, or indeed ever conceived of. In this unfortunate category, Amazon’s new feature for generating mini-podcast segments that shill for products on its shopping platform really takes the cake. The bizarre feature was spotlighted by Katie Notopoulos at Business Insider, who recorded the Amazon AI’s pathetic attempt of portraying an engaging discussion on just

They follow lonely, and usually stoic, men in the throes of some sort of existential crisis, alienated from the world around them. Often, they are shown as literally alone in a room. In “First Reformed” (2017), it was an ascetic

First, the plan is to buy a small tech business, like an e-commerce or B2B SaaS company, for as much as $1 million. Then the shotcallers at Skyfall will appoint an AI as the CEO, put it in charge of run

Google’s parent company, Alphabet, released its quarterly earnings report on Wednesday. On the surface, there were plenty of reasons to pop the champagne: as the New York Times reported, the company’s profits rose to

According to legal scholar Aaron Walayat at the University of Dayton, it’s certainly a possibility. In a new piece for The Conversation, Walayat warns that power companies in states like George and Pennsylvania have been considering the use of eminent domain — the government’s prerogative to seize land without

Claude, it turns out, is not a reliable confidant. According to a report from Gulf Coast Now, a Florida woman was arrested last month for allegedly making threats against local law enforcement in a conversation with Anthropic’s chatbot. Per the outlet, which cites the arrest report, the 30-year-old woman from Bonita Springs, Florida, was apparently having an ongoing private conversation with Claude in which she made multiple threats directed at the Lee Cou

Shutterstock / Futurism Microsoft employees are supposed to be using AI as much as possible. But wait, not like that! In internal tracker, one employee who worked in the Customer and Partner Solutions organization stood out from all the rest by admitting they spent an eyebrow-raising $28,000 on AI tools in just 28 days, Gadget Review noticed. That sky high figure came from an internal employee compensation spreadsheet first leaked by Business Insider, whic

We can replace human workers with AI agents, but we can’t take sexism out of the workplace. A recently published study from researchers at Ireland’s University of Limerick found that existing conscious and unconscious gender biases extend to AI agents, resulting in female-presenting bots getting paid less than their male-presenting counterparts. The study took 189 knowledge workers and placed them in a virtual reality office where they were made to work al

State laws regulating AI are increasing in number, particularly in response to the rise of generative AI systems such as ChatGPT that produce text and images. Thirty-eight states enacted laws in 2025 regulating AI in one way or

According to a September 15 Amazon Web Services update, Iranian drone strikes left some of the tech giant’s data centers in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in tatters. The company admitted that it was “unable to restore access to the resources and data hosted” on local data centers.

Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP via Getty Images Are unchecked AI companies destroying the news and the broader media ecosystem? We could harp on about why this is the case, but why not let the AI executives do the talking? As revealed in recently unsealed court documents, top Microsoft figures, including CEO Satya Nadella, admitted that their AI models are basically stealing content from media companies while providing virtually nothing in return, creating a “doom
