We’re in phase three of our machine-learning project now—that is, we’ve gotten past denial and anger, and we’re now sliding into bargaining and depression. I’ve been tasked with using Ars Technica’s trove of data from five years of headline tests, which pair two ideas against each other in an “A/B” test to let readers determine which one to use for an article. The goal is to try to build a machine-learning algorithm that can predict the success of any give

Shutterstock / Futurism Last week, a Chinese-made large language model called Kimi K3, developed by Beijing-based firm Moonshot AI, burst onto the scene. The open-weight model impressed with early benchmark results, trading blows with some of the most advanced closed-weight ones being developed by the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic — and at a fraction of the cost. Much like Chinese competitor DeepSeek’s AI model upending Silicon Valley in early 2025, Kimi-K

The giant is already warning of a risk to Europeans’ privacy. The European regulation on digital markets (the DMA, short for Digital Markets Act) was designed to loosen the grip of tech giants on the markets they lock up. On July 16, it has just del

Here is everything you need to know. Since August 2, 2026, Article 50 of the AI Act has entered into force. The European Commission’s text pursues a clear objective: to enable internet users to better distinguish AI-generated or AI-modified content from authentic content. But

Shutterstock The use of AI chatbots has invaded almost every profession. From lawyers getting caught citing hallucinated cases and major consulting firms generating nonsensical reports to teachers using AI to revise likely AI-generated essays from students, the tech has become practically ubiquitous. Even those responsible for setting new rules on how to regulate the use of AI are making extensive use of the flawed tech. As the Washington Post reports, the

In the 21st century publishing world, I can tell you from experience that even before LLMs, book authors who didn’t step in and do things themselves—or hire a freelancer with part of their advance—could often end up seeing surprisingly little effort go into things like design and publicity copy. But a new, anonymously-sourced report from Wired suggests AI is taking things from bad to worse. Wired talked to “more than two dozen” anonymous publishing industr

Donald Trump’s executive order requiring artificial intelligence training in education as a national priority has been met with enthusiasm and confusion. On the one hand, his plans to promote early AI training in K–12 schools appear to be “critical,” as Trump says, to “maintain America’s global dominance in this technological revolution for future generations.” To that end, the order established an AI Presidential Challenge to highlight significant student

Shutterstock / Futurism Will AI supercharge the economy? Will the data centers powering it bring prosperity and provide paying jobs to the communities they’re built in? Probably not. New research shows that rapid rise of AI has instead coincided with “unusually high levels” of unemployment among college graduates in Texas, the Financial Times reports. Texas, crucially, is the state with the most data center under construction. Researchers at the Federal Re

Talking to an AI chatbot can feel like confiding in a mirror, a private exchange equivalent to brainstorming in a Word document. Yet when it comes to the most popular AI chatbots, that mirror is really one-way glass — and you might be shocked to learn how many different people can watch from the other side. Since the rise of easily accessible AI chatbots, untold millions of people have happily fed AI models their deepest, darkest secrets. According to a re

Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images/Futurism Armed with sordid tales of rogue AI agents escaping containment, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has found plenty of success using scare tactics to call for friendly regulation in the name of AI safety. Now, it seems Altman is riding the wave of AI fearmongering to gin up some new business partners: the electric utility executives whose companies make up the US power grid. As first reported by Politico, the CEO of the company be

Launch to lockdown in four daysOn June 9, 2026, Anthropic made Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 generally available, the public face of a model class the company had developed under controlled access since April through a programme called Project Glasswing. Fable 5 was described as a Mythos-class model made safe for general use, state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with strong performance in software engineering, scientific research, and aut

The AI-fueled global memory shortage is hitting China particularly hard. So much so that the country’s largest maker of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) is pushing ahead with plans to produce advanced memory chips despite extremely low manufacturing yields. Reuters reports, citing unnamed sources, that ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) plans to begin limited production of HBM3E chips within the next two months. HBM3E is an advanced type of high-bandwi

At the developer event “NVIDIA Agentic AI Day,” hosted by NVIDIA in Tokyo on November 10, NVIDIA announced two synthetic datasets, “Nemotron Personas Finance Japan” and “Nemotron PII Japan,” to support Japanese-language AI development. A finance-domain expansion of the open-source persona dataset “Nemotron Personas Japan,” it combines the dataset with data on Japanese official statistics, household financial circumstances, and financial literacy.

Where Muse Spark aimed to be a lightweight model that could perform at low latency, the Wonder models are larger and said to be more capable, with higher benchmark scores and better results on complex tasks like coding. According to Meta’s testing (presented in the model card), Wonder and Wonder Full achieve comparable benchmark scores to Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. “Together, they mark the next step on our scaling ladder and a major leap toward personal su

To get ahead of this problem, American Express is introducing a new framework designed to capture and authenticate a customer’s purchase intent before an AI agent completes the transaction. The idea is that there should be a way to ensure that the customer’s purchase instructions are carried throughout the transaction lifecycle, Amex says, from the purchase to everything that follows. Dubbed the “Intent Intelligence Framework,” the company hopes it will be

Specifically, the court will allow Apple to view documents associated with OpenAI’s interviews with former Apple employees who applied for roles within its consumer hardware and robotics groups ahead of the rumored launch of OpenAI’s first hardware device. These documents could include interview checklists, guides, instructions, manuals, and scripts, as well as technical presentations and records showing that interview discussions had included references t

As with previous proof-drops from the frontier lab, scientific communities responded with a mixture of thrill and dismay. Anthropic mathematician Levent Alpöge suggested that OpenAI was basing its solutions on pre-existing work, and hours later, Anthropic subsequently released its own refutation of ETH. However, OpenAI’s process is evolving. This time, the lab structured its releases differently for each of the three disciplines involved: Mathematicians go
