Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for science—it is starting to reshape how science itself is practiced. A team at Manchester is exploring this transformation, analyzing how AI is changing the way researchers work, collaborate and make discoveries. Their project combines large-scale data analysis with on-the-ground case studies from labs across the U.K. and internationally. By analyzing millions of publicat

Disney has embraced generative AI at scale, licensing its fiercely protected characters for AI content creation. Walt Disney and OpenAI announced a three-year licensing deal Thursday that will allow users to create short videos featuring beloved Disney characters through artificial intelligence. The deal marks the first time a major entertainment company has embraced generative AI at this scale, licensing its fiercely protected characters—from Mickey Mouse

The millennial leader, who previously made El Salvador the first nation to make bitcoin legal tender in 2021, is betting big on technology again. In a statement Thursday, xAI said that its Grok chatbot will bring "pe

In the Overcooked video game, players work to cook and deliver as much onion soup as possible. In the study’s version of the game, one player can give onions to help the other who has further to travel to make the soup. The research team wanted to find out if AI systems could learn altruism by watching different cultural groups play the game. Credit: PLOS One (2025).

A ChatGPT adult mode that OpenAI is aiming to make available early next year is expected to allow for erotic conversations between users and the chatbot. OpenAI released its latest artificial intelligence models on Thursday, shrugging off worries about how it will cash in on massive spending in its technology race with Google. The San Francisco-based AI superstar touted GPT-5.2 Pro and GPT-5.2 Thinking as its best models yet for handling math or science wo

Credit: University of Warwick A University of Warwick-led analysis of almost 5,000 student-authored reports suggests that student writing has become more polished and formal since the introduction of ChatGPT in late 2022—but grades have remained stable. Published in Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence, the new study examines student reports submitted over a 10-year period and finds that the 'language' in students' writing has become more sophi
