Getty / Futurism For about as long as the internet has existed, users have been able to speak their mind freely through pseudonymous accounts that protect them from being doxxed or stalked. But thanks to the advent of sophisticated AI, unmasking pseudonymous users on the internet has become ominously easy. As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, a team of researchers at ETH Zurich and AI company Anthropic found that “large language models can be us

Getty / Futurism While the exact impact of AI on the job market remains hazy at best, ongoing fears that an AI-triggered job apocalypse is nigh are coming to a boiling point. Last week, Twitter cofounder and Block (formerly Square) CEO Jack Dorsey announced that he was firing 4,000 employees at his fintech company, informing investors that “intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company.” “A significantly smaller team, using the t

Known as advanced air mobility (AAM), this emerging industry aims to connect communities more efficiently while reducing emissions and noise. Before these futuristic aircraft can take off, Georgia Tech researchers say there's serious work to do—in the ai

Getty / Futurism The AI jobs apocalypse, long predicted by tech leaders and AI critics alike, has never felt closer. A major job market disruption has been rumored for years now, but given the latest swings on Wall Street and major layoffs roiling the tech industry, the alarm bells are starting to go off. It’s looking likely that not every profession will be hit in the same way, nor to the same extent — a topic that frontier AI companies have been studying

Getty / Futurism More and more research shows that introducing AI in the workplace is actually forcing employees to work harder, instead of making their jobs easier. The latest comes from a new analysis from ActivTrak of over 164,000 workers’ digital work activity. After examining their activity 180 days before and after the employees started using AI at work, the software company found that AI “intensified” their jobs in nearly every category, the Wall St

Getty / Futurism While the ability of AI tools to steam engine entire human occupations remains a subject of heated debate, a sobering reality is starting to settle in. Big tech companies are laying off workers in the thousands, with CEOs expecting the worst and predicting soaring employment rates among college graduates — while gleefully cutting costs at their companies and not looking back. Consequently, the subject of which jobs will be at the highest r

Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism Writers are often cautioned not to hit readers over the head with the dictionary. But what if it’s the dictionary that’s throwing blows? On Friday, Encyclopedia Britannica and its subsidiary Merriam-Webster struck back against the large language models plundering its tomes of knowledge and sued OpenAI for allegedly using its copyrighted reference materials to train its AI models “at massive scale,” after filing a similar suit

ChatGPT was touted as 'the heart' of OpenAI's new Atlas browser, as tech firms seek to challenge Google Chrome's supremacy. Tech firms battling for supremacy in artificial intelligence are out to transform how people search the web, challenging the dominance of the Chrome browser at the heart of Google's empire. Chatbots that started out as AI-powered assistants have gradually merged with web browsers and can independently scour the internet for detailed a
