For three and a half years, he was responsible for overseeing the security reports of the startup behind ChatGPT. In a lengthy op-ed, he explains that AI labs are “not careful enough” and points the finger at their culture of constant sprints. According to him, the era of “trial and error” absolutely must end before it is too late. A spectacular new beginn

The company has indeed been overwhelmed by a surge in reports automatically generated by artificial intelligence. The bounties are suspended until further notice.

The AI would enable the missile to change its trajectory, making it “impossible to avoid.” On Sunday, October 4, North Korea’s official media announced that its leader Kim Jong Un had overseen the launch of a ballistic missile, AFP reported. They added that the m

The OpenAI executive also believes that artificial intelligence will bring far more positives than negatives. Sam Altman has thus somewhat contradicted the position held by Dario Amodei (Anthropic). For reference, Dario Amodei, an Anthropic executive, advocates strict control over AI devel

Yet the company’s privacy pages promised the opposite as recently as six months ago. Claude started speaking in May 2025, and its voice mode

AI-generated content, for its part, remains banned from its games. More than 27 Capcom titles run on the RE Engine, and around 2,000 developers work on it. On October 2, during its open conference RE:2026, the Japanese publisher unveiled

These ads will initially be rolled out in the United States. Since last August, there have been ads in ChatGPT, particularly when planning a trip, comparing products, or looking for a service.

The update, which is rolling out over the next several weeks, will add a Deep Research option to the Finance chatbot. The company claims that with the more powerful AI, users will be able to generate “fully cited” research reports on a given topic in just a few minutes. So you can expect an experience similar to Deep Research in the Gemini app—you give it a prompt, and then you come back later to see the result. You probably won’t want to bother with Deep

Amid what one judge called an “epidemic” of fake AI-generated case citations bogging down courts, some common excuses are emerging from lawyers hoping to dodge the most severe sanctions for filings deemed misleading. Using a database compiled by French lawyer and AI researcher Damien Charlotin, Ars reviewed 23 cases where lawyers were sanctioned for AI hallucinations. In many, judges noted that the simplest path to avoid or diminish sanctions was to admit

For example, you could type “Remove Riley’s sunglasses,” and Nano Banana will identify Riley in the photo (assuming you have a person of that name saved) and make the edit without further instructions. You can also ask for more fantastical edits in Help Me Edit, changing the

Google’s current mission is to weave generative AI into as many products as it can, getting everyone accustomed to, and maybe even dependent on, working with confabulatory robots. That means it needs to feed the bots a lot of your data, and that’s getting easier with the company’s new Private AI Compute. Google claims its new secure cloud environment will power better AI experiences without sacrificing your privacy. The pitch sounds a lot like Apple’s Priv

Google has kicked its Gemini rollout into high gear over the past year, releasing the much-improved Gemini 2.5 family and cramming various flavors of the model into Search, Gmail, and just about everything else the company makes. Now, Google’s increasingly unavoidable AI is getting an upgrade. Gemini 3 Pro is available in a limited form today, featuring more immersive, visual outputs and fewer lies, Google says. The company also says Gemini 3 sets a new hi

Almost every technological innovation of the past several years has been laser-focused on one thing: generative AI. Many of these supposedly revolutionary systems run on big, expensive servers in a data center somewhere, but at the same time, chipmakers are crowing about the power of the neural processing units (NPU) they have brought to consumer devices. Every few months, it’s the same thing: This new NPU is 30 or 40 percent faster than the last one. That

Most of today’s smart rings offer users the ability to track health stats, along with various minor smartphone integrations. With all the sensors and data collection, these devices can cost as much as a smartwatch and require frequent charging. The Index 01 doesn’t do any of that. It contains a Bluetooth radio, a microphone, a hearing aid battery, and a physical button. You press the button, record your note, and that’s it. The company says the Index 01 wi

The development path for agentic AI models is cloudy to say the least, but companies have invested so heavily in creating these systems that some tools have percolated to the surface. The AAIF, which is part of the nonprofit Linux Foundation, has been launched to govern the development of three key AI technologies: Model Context Protocol (MCP), goose, and AGENTS.md. MCP is probably the most well-known of the trio, having been open-sourced by Anthropic a ye

According to the letter, Google is violating the entertainment conglomerate’s intellectual property in multiple ways. The legal notice says Google has copied a “large corpus” of Disney’s works to train its gen AI models, which is believable, as Google’s image and video models will happily produce popular Disney characters—they couldn’t do that without feeding the models lots of Disney data. The C&D also takes issue with Google for distributing “copies of i
