A method that would already have a cost in Europe: up to 4% of revenue. Meta’s big spring clean culminates in court. Monday evening, 26 current and former employees filed a complaint with the federal court in Oakland, California. According to them, the list of the 8,

This time, Hachette, Elsevier, and Cengage are accusing Google of having fed Gemini millions of books without permission and without paying. For two years, American publishing has been refining its response to the AI giants: block the web crawlers first, negotiate next, and finally attack.Friday, Hachette Book Group, Elsevier and Cengag

It is not the mysterious ChatGPT speaker envisioned in collaboration with Jony Ive, but a limited-edition mini keyboard intended for developers. Priced at $230 and designed with the manufacturer Work Louder, this small control pad allows developers to physically control Codex coding agents For months, rumors have multiplied about OpenAI’s first phy

Published on July 16, 2026 at 11:32 Comment 0 𝕏 Print © Montage 01net / OpenAI OpenAI is abandoning ChatGPT Atlas less than a year after its launch. A strategic pivot driven by Anthropic’s competitive push toward a “super-app.” More than nine months after its high-profile launch, OpenAI’s web browser is already being regretted. Announced alongside the rollout of GPT-5.6, the abandonment of ChatGPT Atlas on August 9 marks an admission of failure in the face

Genomes are so five minutes ago. Personalized medicine is all about phenomes now. OK, that’s an exaggeration. But plenty of genetic disorders do result in distinctive facial phenotypes (Down syndrome is probably the best known example). Many of these disorders are quite rare and thus not easily recognized by clinicians. This lack of familiarity can cause the patients with the disorders (and their parents) to endure a long and traumatic diagnostic odyssey b

Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind (it was acquired by Alphabet in 2014) has been developing artificial-intelligence programs since 2010 to solve complex problems. One of DeepMind’s latest projects, according to a recent Google post, has centered around the predictability of wind power. Those giant turbines you see along the highway only produce power when they’re moving, and that poses a problem for the grid: in the absence of expensive energy storage, it’s dif

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

Saturday afternoon (Nov. 16) at Supercomputing 2019, Intel launched a new programming model called oneAPI. Intel describes the necessity of tightly coupling middleware and frameworks directly to specific hardware as one of the largest pain points of AI/Machine Learning development. The oneAPI model is intended to abstract that tight coupling away, allowing developers to focus on their actual project and re-use the same code when the underlying hardware cha

More than 13,000 artificial intelligence mavens flocked to Vancouver this week for the world’s leading academic AI conference, NeurIPS. The venue included a maze of colorful corporate booths aiming to lure recruits for projects like software that plays doctor. Google handed out free luggage scales and socks depicting the colorful bikes employees ride on its campus while IBM offered hats emblazoned with “I ❤️A👁.” Tuesday night, Google and Uber hosted well-l

There’s rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we’re once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science story that fell through the cracks each day, from December 25 through January 5. Today: How AI is helping shed light on famous paintings. X-rays are a well-established tool to help analyze and restore valuable paintings because the rays’ higher frequency means t

Biochemists have had some success at designing drugs to match specific targets. But much of drug development remains an arduous grind, screening hundreds to thousands of chemicals for a “hit” that has the effect you’re looking for. There have been several attempts to perform this grind in silico, using computers to analyze chemicals, but they’ve had mixed results. Now, a US-Canadian team is reporting that it’s modified a neural network to handle chemistry

A lot of neural networks are black boxes. We know they can successfully categorize things—images with cats, X-rays with cancer, and so on—but for many of them, we can’t understand what they use to reach that conclusion. But that doesn’t mean that people can’t infer the rules they use to fit things into different categories. And that creates a problem for companies like Facebook, which hopes to use AI to get rid of accounts that abuse its terms of service.

You may be familiar with the Infinite Monkey Theorem, an oft-cited (and often incorrectly quoted) claim that thousands of monkeys could bang on thousands of typewriters and eventually produce a work of art equivalent to William Shakespeare. (Yes, Simpsons did it.) This week, Nvidia confirms that it has taken this theory quite seriously with its own twist: an army of AI routines, dubbed GameGAN (short for “generative adversarial networks”), trained to build

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act barred the humans who made hiring decisions from discriminating on the basis of sex or race. Now, software often contributes to those hiring decisions, helping managers screen résumés or interpret video interviews. That worries some tech experts and civil rights groups, who cite evidence that algorithms can replicate or magnify biases shown by people. In 2018, Reuters reported that Amazon scrapped a tool that filtered résumés
