Shutterstock / Futurism The United States Soccer Federation is hoping to recruit players from across the world by using AI to scan video footage of tens of millions of young athletes, joining some college athletic programs that are infusing AI into their recruiting process. At a Fortune event in Scottsdale, Arizona, this week, US Soccer Federation COO Dan Helfrich — formerly the CEO of the consulting giant Deloitte — declared that AI-assisted scouting repr

Meta is orchestrating the shutdown of Manus on Beijing’s orders, with Beijing applying to the U.S. giant the playbook devised by Washington against TikTok. The AI agent fever is turning into the flu at Meta. Since the start of the year, the entire tech industry has sworn by nothing but these “digital colleagues” capable o

In a sweeping new poll conducted by Pew Research, only 16 percent of respondents said they believed AI will have a positive impact on society — a number as dismal as the perception of the tech.

A high ranking says nothing about copyediting. In May 2025, DeepSeek ranked first in Russian in Ilya Gusev’s PingPong, but that test evaluates role-play dialogues. Qwen in Russian was tested on something else as well: Qwen3.5–27B ranks first in the long-text column of MERA Reason. The task from the bothub test is closest to copyediting: when proofreading, Kimi K3 did not attribute the publisher’s typos to the author. Only the text there was in English.Do Q

Big data, analytics, and machine learning are starting to feel like anonymous business words, but they’re not just overused abstract concepts—those buzzwords represent huge changes in much of the technology we deal with in our daily lives. Some of those changes have been for the better, making our interaction with machines and information more natural and more powerful. Others have helped companies tap into consumers’ relationships, behaviors, locations an

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Shutterstock To say Americans are divided on AI would be an understatement. Polls have shown that more people than ever have a negative view of the tech, and you can take your pick on the reasons why. AI could displace jobs, destroy the environment, and drive up energy bills. It’s trained on stolen writing and artwork, and chatbots are driving people into mental health spirals. But what does the publi

Microsoft’s AI text-to-image generator, Copilot Designer, appears to be heavily filtering outputs after a Microsoft engineer, Shane Jones, warned that Microsoft has ignored warnings that the tool randomly creates violent and sexual imagery, CNBC reported. Jones told CNBC that he repeatedly warned Microsoft of the alarming content he was seeing while volunteering in red-teaming efforts to test the tool’s vulnerabilities. Microsoft failed to take the tool do

Shutterstock / Victor Tangermann It only took them three and a half years, but the powers that be at OpenAI have apparently directed ChatGPT to start refusing requests to copy a specific author’s style, Ars Technica reports. And it’s causing an absolute meltdown among “writers” who had grown accustomed to using the chatbot to churn out stories. Word spread quickly on the r/WritingWithAI subreddit, where one person using ChatGPT to write an entire novel mad

When you access the company’s proprietary models in the cloud, they’re running on powerful server infrastructure that cannot be replicated easily, even in enterprise. The new OpenAI models come in two variants (120b and 20b) to run on less powerful hardware configurations. Both are transformers with a configurable chain of thought (CoT), supporting low, medium, and high settings. The lower settings are faster and use fewer compute resources, but the output

New reporting by Fortune revealed the disastrous results of Shopify’s all-out scramble to embrace AI nearly a year ago. After telling workers that using AI tools is a “baseline expectation” in the workplace, Lütke is now changing his tune as workers spew out AI-generated emails, memos, and code without doubl

Getty Images / JORGE UZON Geoffrey Hinton, one of the godfathers of AI, is prognosticating about our future with trademark gloom. In an interview with The Telegraph, the famed British computer scientist insisted that AI has become conscious, and said that humankind must befriend it — “or else we are toast.” Yes, you read that right: he thinks that today’s AI models are already conscious beings. “AI has just as much subjective experience as we do,” Hinton s
