A fourth AI researcher has left, and it's still Meta who managed to poach him. Is this a sign of new ambitions by Zuckerberg or concerns by Tim Cook? General alert at Apple: a fourth generative AI specialist has just left the company to join Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The announcement of Bowen Zhang's departure, a

On Tuesday, Anthropic launched a new “Mythos-class” model, Fable 5, describing it as being more powerful than any other model the company had ever made generally available. It’s a significantly tamer version of Mythos, the behemoth model which Anthropic announced in April but has thus far withheld from the public due to its alleged sophistication at finding and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities. If users ask Fable 5 about potentially sensitive subje

This is what a study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference hopes to address as a lone researcher investigated using machine learning models to enhance mapping and imaging capabilities fro

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A study of Chile's workforce finds that AI could "accelerate" nearly half of the tasks performed by the country's 100 most common jobs. Generative AI has been pitched as a great leveler—a way to increase productivity, slash red tape and busy work, and narrow skills gaps. A new study by Gabriel Weintraub, a professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, quantifies the potentia

AI is giving attackers a head start, Microsoft warns Threat actors are using AI to find bugs, build malware and run intrusions faster than defenders can keep up. Microsoft’s 2026 Digital Defense Report, covering July 2025 to June 2026, describes a near-term period in which attackers collect the benefits of AI first and defenders have to move quickly to close the gap. “AI is changing the physics of cybersecurity,” the company said. Bugs found faster than th

The risk assessment focuses on prominent general-use chatbots: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Meta AI, and Anthropic’s Claude. Using teen test accounts, expert

Futurism Google has denied that it’s been quietly rifling through users’ personal Gmail accounts to train its AI models on their emails and attachments. Cybersecurity company Malwarebytes caused an uproar last week when it warned in a blog post that the tech giant was rolling out features that gave its AI models access to private messages and files. However, Malwarebytes later added a giant correction to the story, writing that the “way Google recently rew

The space of the possible as a directed graph: it grows downward into new ideas (the adjacent possible) and fades upward into outdated ones (the adjacent obsolescent). Connectivity γ ranges from tree-like (0) to truss-like (1).

Recent advancements in training large multimodal models have been driven by efforts to eliminate modeling constraints and unify architectures across domains. Despite these strides, many existing models still rely on separately trained components such as modality-specific encoders and decoders. In a new paper JetFormer: An Autoregressive Generative Model of Raw Images and Text, a Google DeepMind research team introduces JetFormer, a groundbreaking autoregre

In a blog post on Friday, Anthropic elaborated on its controversial watermarking system, announced earlier this week as an effort to comply with the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act. Watermarking will make it harder for users to get away with pretending they wrote AI-generated text. It may be too late to preserve Anthropic’s relationships with some outraged users, who have, it appears, already canceled their subscriptions. Posts on X show many

Published on March 10, 2026 at 16:12 Comment 1 𝕏 Print © 01net Generative AI is amazing... until it isn't anymore. Amazon, whose infrastructure maintenance is partly managed by AI, has experienced several outages in recent weeks. The group will monitor the AI more closely, with the help of its human engineers. Amazon justified a large part of its recent layoffs (16,000 in January!) by the use of generative AI. It's nice to replace humans with machines, but

Getty / Futurism Stuffing an AI chatbot into a consumer electronics device and turning out with a product people actually want has proven extremely difficult. We’ve come across creepy and widely-hated pendants designed to listen to everything you say, as well as flawed AI “pins” that turned out to be a flaming dumpster fire, leading to frustration and disbelief. Now Sam Altman’s OpenAI, which recruited former Apple design lead Jony Ive to lead its own hard

That trend, in which retail giants force their AI initiatives on consumers while distancing themselves from its failures, is growing.

A mass psychosis inducing machine is making money out the wazoo by bombarding users with highly-targeted corporate messages. According to a new Axios scoop, OpenAI has already generated $100 million in annual recurring revenue from stuffing advertisements into ChatGPT in just two months, suggesting that its big bet on leveraging its users’ deeply personal conversations to offer hy

In the past 24 hours, Silicon Valley has erupted in bitter debate over what may seem from the outside to be an esoteric, trivial issue: the solution to a longstanding math problem which, despite its importance among academics, doesn’t have any clear practical applications. And yet it raises urgent new questions about the nature of competition—not only between humans, but also between humans and machines—in the age of AI. On Tuesday morning, OpenAI publishe

DOI: 10.1038/s44172-025-00479-2 Could computers ever learn more like humans do, without relying on artificial intelligence (AI) systems that must undergo extremely expensive training? Neuromorphic computing might be the answer. This emerging technology features brain-inspired computer hardware that could perform AI tasks much more efficiently with far fewer training computat
