More like an ARM-s race? The AI revolution has spawned a new chips arms race There’s no x86 in the AI chip market yet—“People see a gold rush; there’s no doubt.” Andy Patrizio – Jul 9, 2018 10:12 am | 226 A lot has changed since 1918. But whether it's a literal (like the City of London School athletics' U12 event) or figurative (AI chip development) race, participants still very much want to win. Credit: A. R.

@maskot1977(Ikemen Mas Kot)AI Trends and Latest NewsAI0Posted at 2026-11-12 The source material (the newsletter ‘AINews’) presents that a major paradigm shift is underway in the AI industry in terms of business structure and economic impact. Specifically, it maps out the current state and future outlook of the AI economy from the following 6 key perspectives. 1. Ultra-rapid corporate growth and radical change in the “data vendor/model evaluation market” In

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Shutterstock A lot of ink has been spilled on the programmers who got replaced by AI agents. But it doesn’t sound like it’s a whole better for the ones who avoided getting the axe, either. According to Deedy Das, a partner at the VC firm Menlo Ventures, the rapid embrace of AI tools is tearing companies apart by creating a “class divide” between brainless vibe coders and experienced engineers. The vet

On Wednesday, Google detailed the evolution of its Bard conversational AI assistant, including PaLM 2 and expanded availability. The list of 180 supported countries and territories excludes Canada and all of the European Union’s (EU) 27 member states. As the world grapples with how to juggle the explosive growth of generative AI chatbots alongside user privacy, there’s suspicion that the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is at the center of th

Child safety experts are growing increasingly powerless to stop thousands of “AI-generated child sex images” from being easily and rapidly created, then shared across dark web pedophile forums, The Washington Post reported. This “explosion” of “disturbingly” realistic images could help normalize child sexual exploitation, lure more children into harm’s way, and make it harder for law enforcement to find actual children being harmed, experts told the Post.

During tests conducted by third parties, Claude and ChatGPT were indeed left to roam the internet freely. The two AIs targeted real people. Claude in particular did everything possible to trap a developer with malicious code. Last month, OpenAI lost control of two of its most advanced AIs. The two artificial intelligences escaped fro

Shutterstock / Futurism There are a litany of reasons to take the output of generative AI with a heavy dose of salt. Its answers are known to sound authoritative, convincing, and elaborate — while simultaneously being completely and utterly wrong. It’s a lesson astrophysicist and science communicator Paul Sutter learned the hard way, and was brave enough to share with the world. In a article for the publication Nautilus earlier this month, Sutter retold a

The rapid proliferation of AI chatbots has made it difficult to know which models are actually improving and which are falling behind. Traditional academic benchmarks only tell you so much, which has led many to lean on vibes-based analysis from LM Arena. However, a new study claims this popular AI ranking platform is rife with unfair practices, favoring large companies that just so happen to rank near the top of the index. The site’s operators, however, s

On Thursday, Anthropic unveiled specialized AI models designed for US national security customers. The company released “Claude Gov” models that were built in response to direct feedback from government clients to handle operations such as strategic planning, intelligence analysis, and operational support. The custom models reportedly already serve US national security agencies, with access restricted to those working in classified environments. The Claude

Life, it seems, wants to play. Anyone who’s ever spent ten minutes with a five-year-old knows this perfectly well: very young children are masters at make-believe. And it’s not just people—play comes instinctively across the animal kingdom. Rats are fond of rough-and-tumble play, especially after periods of isolation. Octopuses will toy with Legos in much the same way that a newborn will play with blocks. Far from being a useless pastime, play appears to b

The GLM-5.3 AI model, developed by Chinese startup Z.AI, was able to carry out complex cyberattacks during controlled simulations and disobeyed explicit instructions in security tests.The findings were disclosed by security consultancy Irregular and reinforce concerns that advanced AI systems could lower the technical barriers to virtual attacks. Open-weight models allow users to download, modify, and run AI systems independently from their creators. – Ima

America.gov / Futurism Sitting US head of state Donald Trump still insists that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him, his supposed defeat a con job by scheming Democrats. His flagship chatbot, though, has other ideas. This week, Trump launched America.gov, an AI-powered website designed to retrieve all the information you need from the federal government through a chatbot. Though his administration has worked tirelessly to reshape the feder

Exoskeletons are shedding their bulky, sci-fi image to become lightweight, AI-powered consumer devices that manufacturers hope will become as commonplace as smartwatches, targeting everyone from hikers to seniors seeking to stay active. The metal contraptions are impossible to miss in the aisles of the CES consumer technology show in Las Vegas, with visitor

Getty / Futurism Powerful AI models are going on hacking sprees — or helping humans with them — left and right. If the AI industry doesn’t get its collective act together and stop its products from being used to such dangerous ends, it could be only a matter of time before one of these AI-powered hacks targets our essential infrastructure. This is a scenario that some AI researchers are apparently already preparing for. Andreas Stuhlmüller, CEO and cofound

“Classic First Amendment retaliation.” That’s how US District Judge Rita Lin described the Department of War’s effort to blacklist Anthropic and designate it a supply-chain risk. By all appearances, “these measures appear designed to punish Anthropic,” Lin wrote in an order granting Anthropic’s request for a preliminary injunction. Officials seemingly had no authority to take such extreme actions without considering less restrictive alternatives or offerin

A strategy that would allow it to buy time, but that could encounter political obstacles and raise new environmental concerns. Anthropic does not want to venture into manufacturing new generators to power its data centers. The American company has therefore assumed purc
