When Anthropic first disclosed Mythos in April, it sent an anxious shockwave through much of the cybersecurity sector. The new AI model was allegedly so ruthlessly effective at finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities in existing software that the company said it was holding off on a public release and would only grant access to a small group of early testers, including the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Another wave of fear reverberated this

In just a year, AI psychosis became a term the internet is all too familiar with. Though some have contested the science behind it, various reports of psychotic breaks and, at times, fatal delusions linked to intense reliance on AI have flooded timelines. Some scientists now have a hypothesis on how chatbots could be directly responsible for these incidents. In a new study published in the Nature journal Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience, researchers in

OpenAI fired the starting gun for the AI race in late 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT and has since become one of the most valuable startups in the world, reaching hundreds of millions of users every day. Its success, however, has depended on a web of partnerships with other companies that make the silicon chips upon which its AI systems depend. On Wednesday, OpenAI took its biggest step yet towards full technological independence with the unveiling of a n

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

At the BitSummit expo in Kyoto, indie designers touted their games. Players line up inside Nintendo's booth at a Japanese game fair to try upcoming Switch 2 titles, but, for once, the company's chirpy red-capped mascot Mario is nowhere to be seen. The three games on display are all made by smaller-scale, independent developers seeking to impress users of the device that became the world's fastest-selling console after its launch last month. But with Ninten

DOI: 10.1016/j.procs.2025.03.161 Artificial intelligence is accelerating at breakneck speed, with larger models dominating the scene—more parameters, more data, more power. But here is the real question: Do we really need bigger to be better? We challenged that assu

Differences in processes with and without hardware accelerators. Credit: Electronics (2024). DOI: 10.3390/electronics13234683 Large language models (LLMs) like BERT and GPT are driving major advances in artificial intelligence, but their size and complexity typically require powerful servers and cloud infrastructure. Running these models directly on devices—without relying on external computation—has remained a difficult technical challenge. A research tea

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Artificial intelligence may take over some tasks and transform others, but one thing is certain: it's reshaping the job market. Researchers at USC's Information Sciences Institute (ISI) analyzed LinkedIn job postings and AI-related patent filings to measure which jobs are most exposed, and where those changes are happening first. The project was led by ISI research assistant Eun Cheol Choi, working with students in a grad

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0323079 Tabular data is at the heart of scientific analysis—whether in medicine, the social sciences, or even archaeology. Making it comprehensible and usable is often a tedious task, especially when the data is extensive or complex. The Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM) at the University of Duisburg-Essen h

Images watermarked by StableSignature— non-semantic (top), and StegaStamp— semantic (bottom). The rightmost figures display the differences between the original and watermarked images that correspond to the changes encoding the watermarks. StableSignature's modifications are restricted to existing (high-frequency) edges such as wrinkles, hair, mustache, and intersections of multiple components. StegaStamp's watermark is distributed across the image. The ma

Trump signed several executive orders to give his AI plan more legal weight, with his AI czar David Sacks (R) by his side. President Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive, low-regulation strategy on Wednesday to boost big tech's race to stay ahead of China on artificial intelligence and cement US dominance in the fast-expanding field. Trump's 25-page "America's AI Action Plan" outlines three aims: accelerating innovation, building infrastructure, and leading

Google parent company Alphabet's cloud computing business is on pace to bring in $50 billion over the course of 2025, according to the tech giant. Google-parent Alphabet on Wednesday reported quarterly profits that topped expectations, saying artificial intelligence has boosted every part of its business. Alphabet's second-quarter profit of $28.2 billion—on $96.4 billion in revenue—came with word that the tech giant will spend $10 billion more than it prev

Could the architecture of the room help to soothe at least some of the children's concerns? "Classrooms without any sound absorp

Sulfite reductase is an enzyme that participates in sulfur metabolism. Until now, scientists have been unable to understand what the 3D structure of the enzyme looks like. Credit: Florida State University They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But it takes millions of pictures to understand the intricate chemistry of an enzyme that helps break down sulfur, commonly found in fruits, vegetables, alcohol and gasoline, into the colorless gas most noted

A site, B site and O ions are represented by white, dark gray and yellow spheres, respectively. Red and blue BO4 tetrahedra correspond to down- and up-polarized layers, respectively. Gray BO6 octahedra show centrosymmetric non-polar layer

For this study, writing styles in digitized manuscripts were analyzed using BiNet, a previously developed deep neural network for detection of handwritten ink-trace patterns. By combining writing styles with carbon-14 dates of manuscripts using artificial intelligence, the date-prediction model Enoch is able to produce an accurate date for the manuscript.
