Despite significant progress in Artificial Intelligent (AI) system, most of the existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) systems are unimodal single task systems, which poses a challenge in developing medical AI systems as medical tasks are inherently multimodal with rich modalities spanning text, imaging, genomics, and more. To bridge this gap, in a new paper Towards Generalist Biomedical AI, a research team from Google Research and Google DeepMind presents Med-P

It seems to be one of the most pressing questions in the world of AI these days. If artificial intelligence tools cause massive disruptions in the economy and unemployment soars, what should AI companies and the government do about it? Anthropic released a new economic policy framework on Wednesday that aims to tackle these questions, and the company has pledged $350 million to help work through solutions. But it remains to be seen how the federal governme

SpaceXAI, the AI division of SpaceX, operates dozens of unpermitted gas turbines, and it’s disproportionately impacting the Black communities living near them, according to a Reuters report from Tuesday. Elon Musk owns an estimated 42% of SpaceX, which is now a publicly traded company. The gas turbines power Colossus 2, the data center that runs SpaceXAI’s Grok chatbot, located near Memphis, Tennessee, one of the largest majority-Black cities in the nation

Bettman / Getty Images / Futurism OpenAI was seemingly caught off guard by the controversy stemming from its new text-to-video app, Sora 2, as it rapidly became the number one place for tasteless videos of deceased celebrities being mercilessly mocked. From videos of famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who passed away seven years ago, being punched bloody by a UFC fighter, to Elvis Presley collapsing on stage and loudly passing gas, Sora has quick

Hackers hijack exposed AI models to launch cyberattacks at victims’ expense An attack tool built around AI goes looking for AI models that anyone on the internet can reach, then uses them to plan break-ins while the model’s owner pays for the computing power. Symantec captured the agent’s instruction set this summer through a honeypot posing as an unprotected AI service, researchers Priti More and Susmit Yenkar wrote. Its operators sent their entire workin

As the Wall Street Journal reports, the stock market has been showing marked signs of “fragility,” with Nvidia slipping seven percent last week. Despite signs of an end to the ongoing federal shutdown buoying up some excitement, the AI chipmaker continued its plunge this week, sliding another three

At India’s AI Summit in New Delhi on Thursday, the respective CEOs of OpenAI and Athropic shared the stage with roughly a dozen other industry and political leaders, including the nation’s prime minister Narendra Modi. As they stood in a line facing the crowd, Modi beckoned them to join hands and raise them above their heads, presenting a united

Our proposed hardware trojan detection and explanation framework. Credit: IEEE Access (2025). DOI: 10.1109/access.2025.3592030 University of Missouri researchers have used artificial intelligence to detect hidden hardware trojans through a method that's 97% accurate. From smartphones to medical devices, computer chips power nearly everything we use today. But hidden deep inside these chips, there's a little-known threat: hardware trojans—malicious modifica

The quantisation benchmarks show minimal performance degradation. On the DROP benchmark, the Hunyuan-7B-Instruct model scores 85.9 in its base B16 format, 86.0 with FP8, and 85.7 with Int4 GPTQ, indicating that efficiency gains do not come at a cost to accuracy.For deployment, Tencent recommends using established frameworks like TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, or SGLang to serve the Hunyuan models and create OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, ensuring they can be integr

Over the course of more than 13,000 messages with the bot obtained by the Florida Phoenix, the student at Florida State University (FSU) called himself an incel, bemoaned that God had abandoned him, repeatedly asked

This week, OpenAI finally responded to a pair of nearly identical class-action lawsuits from book authors—including Sarah Silverman, Paul Tremblay, Mona Awad, Chris Golden, and Richard Kadrey—who earlier this summer alleged that ChatGPT was illegally trained on pirated copies of their books. In OpenAI’s motion to dismiss (filed in both lawsuits), the company asked a US district court in California to toss all but one claim alleging direct copyright infring
