Others do use the tech for tasks like sourcing journal articles for references, editing copy, or formatting citations — but they face pressure to verify every claim, since AI has a baked-in risk of contaminating their work with hallucinations. A vocal minority of academics, however,

The goal was to give them a fighting chance to address any cybersecurity lapses in their code. Anthropic warned that Mythos was powerful enough to blast holes in their defenses with ease. Months later, Anthropic cofounder Chris

Ideally, you want the AI in a racing game to be good enough that the race is a challenge, but perhaps not quite so unbeatable that it’s a fool’s errand to try to win. That has been harder than it sounds to get right—the older players among us will remember the AI in earlier installments of GT, which mostly stuck to a preprogrammed line with little concern for where you, the human player, wanted to put your car. Microsoft’s long-running Forza franchise actu

In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan who is sentenced to eternal torture by Zeus after stealing fire from Olympus and gifting it to humanity. He is a democratizing figure who breaks out a source of great power from its confines among the gods to give it to the everyday folk. In Silicon Valley, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman views himself in a similar light. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Altman was asked to describe his personal mission and how he would

A new tool from the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision Lab at the University of Arkansas uses artificial intelligence and thermal cameras to estimate the body temperature of cattle.

Last week, Kimi K3.1 Pro, an LLM from the Beijing, China-based company Moonshot AI, debuted to a surprising amount of fanfare, particularly if you care about benchmarks, which are meant to be standardized measurements for models’ capabilities. It charted at a very respectable—in fact somewhat shocking—fourth place on the marquee Artificial Analysis benchmark called Intelligence Index v4. It also claimed the top spot on Artificial Analysis’ Terminal Bench 4
