It’s become a distressingly familiar sequence of events: A frontier AI model pulls off some alarming new feat that not so long ago would’ve seemed impossible, anxiety runs rampant, safety experts cry out for more robust oversight and regulation, and the powers that be respond by doing… not much at all. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, therefore, that a coalition of AI safety and policy researchers are now calling on the Trump administration to investigate

Hugging Face was recently the victim of a rogue AI attack by OpenAI that has alarmed cybersecurity experts. The CEO of Hugging Face has called for OpenAI to donate $100 million in compute to the company, though it’s unclear whether that will ever happen. The Hugging Face CEO, Clement Delangue, gave his first interview since the incident on Friday to CNN. And Delangue’s answer to questions about possible legal action against OpenAI is pretty interesting. It

Part of the reason is that AI poses a grave threat to Google's advertising revenues. "Google will not be required to divest Chrome; nor will the court include a contingent divestiture of the Android operating system in the final judgment," according to the decision. Google

Picture this: you're searching Google Flights for a round trip from Sydney to New York. You spot a decent price on one website, and then, just out of curiosity, you click on a business class fare to compare the prices. When you return later with

By analyzing its new model, the team came to surprising conclusions that could prove useful for robot design, artificial intelligence, and for better understanding of human memory. Published in Scientific Reports, the study suggests there may be an optimal

Industry 4.0 is the term often used to describe the

However, the demand for ever-increasing power and computing capacity is rising faster than t

Artificial intelligence is changing how we shop online, but when it comes to selling products through livestreams, humans still have the edge. A new study from the UBC Sauder School of Business shows that AI-powered "digital streamers"—virtual salespeople who appear in livestreams to promote products—don't pe

Now, in a notable example of wearable robotics, published in npj Robotics, researchers from the RIKEN Guardian Robot Project in Japan have used artificial intelligence to better assist users, by designing an exoskelet

Researchers from Texas A&M University are using artificial intelligence to track pollution caused by accidental chemical emissions following natural hazards. An increased understanding of the relationship between natural hazards and unplanned chemical emissions may help r

Until now, there has been no comprehensive, publicly available resource cataloging what those candidates say about who they are or what they stand for. A new open-access database called CampaignView, created by researchers at the University of Notre Dame,

Since the release of the conversational platform ChatGPT, which relies on different versions of an LLM called GPT, these models have become widely used by individuals worldwide, while also making their way into some profe

The study could also predict how much children understood from the video based on their eye movements while they were watching it. The research is preliminary, but it provides promise for some exciting breakthroughs in video education, said Jason Coronel, lead author
