Donald Trump via Truth Social President Donald Trump sowed a fair bit of confusion after posting not one but two AI-generated videos of a supposed US strike on Iran’s Kharg Island. Trump, as it turned out, was simply hallucinating a fantasy, forcing a US official to clarify Monday that the depicted “attacks” on the island, Iran’s main hub of oil exports, hadn’t actually occurred, The Independent reported. Trump made no effort to clarify that the videos wer

But for humans to truly trust and collaborate with them, robots need more than technical skill—they need to understand us. That's the challenge at the heart of new work being undertaken by Dr. Mehdi Hellou as part of PRIMI, a project exploring how robots can develop a "theory of mind"—the ability to infer what people believe, prefer or in

In a memo to employees earlier this week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a vision for a near-future in which “personal [AI] superintelligence for everyone” forms “the beginning of a new era for humanity.” The newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs—freshly staffed with multiple high-level acquisitions from OpenAI and other AI companies—will spearhead the development of “our next generation of models to get to the frontier in the next year or so,” Zuckerb

According to Reid, clicks aren’t declining, AI is driving more searches, and everything is fine on the Internet. But despite the optimistic tone, the post stops short of providing any actual data to back up those claims. This statement feels like a direct response to a recent Pew Research C

It was an occasion fraught with controversy, however, as mathematicians accused the company of essentially stealing their work. That controversy is still rippling through the math world. But what has

Researchers from the University of Limerick in Ireland found that gender bias in the workplace still persists in how people interact with AI models, leading to female presenting chatbots to receive less pay, they report in a study published in the journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction which will be presented at an upcoming conference.
