Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more Generative AI has become routine in smartphones, search engines, and entire newsrooms. Nevertheless, an uncomfortable detail persists: almost no one knows how to explain, step by step, why a model responds as it does. It is this blind spot that a new line of research aims to illuminate. Recent work in the field of interpretability — the area that studies the internal workings of language models — suggests

Getty / Futurism The advent of generative AI continues to undermine the very concept of copyright, from entire books shamelessly ripping off authors to tasteless AI slop depicting beloved characters going viral on social media. The sin is foundational: all today’s popular AI tools were built by pillaging copyrighted material without permission. Even software isn’t safe. As 404 Media reports, a new tool dubbed Malus.sh — pronounced “malice,” to give a subtl

US Department of Transportation secretary Sean Duffy — the same guy who was briefly in charge of NASA, weirdly — recently confirmed that the government is working on integrating AI software into the air t

With the arrival of GPT-6, the company began to release a new interface called Intelligent UI, capable of combining text, images, and interactive elements within the conversations themselves.Instead of responding only with text or static images, ChatGPT could create resources such as inter

The reality is much more nuanced, and Europe is about to go much further. Since May 1st, social media has been buzzing: the Academy of Oscars would have banned artificial intelligence in cinema. In reality, the new rules adopted for the 99th ceremony (March 2027) only concern two specific categories. AI-generated performance

Getty / Futurism For years now, tech leaders have warned that AI will usher in a technological revolution on an unprecedented scale, wiping out countless jobs. If you’re lucky enough to survive sweeping layoffs continuously roiling the tech industry, bosses say their employees will have to adopt the tech to keep their jobs — whether they like it or not. In other words, it’s not hard to see why there’s been a surge in resentment towards AI, which has encroa

Even a 1% improvement in yield could produce millions more pounds of meat a year thanks to artificial intelligence. "I do believe it's the most transformative technology or innovation of my lifetime," Cargill CEO Brian Sikes said at an event in Iowa last month.

Microsoft has let go more than 15,000 workers since May, and Amazon announced last week it was cutting 14,000 roles. Artificial intelligence has taken some of the blame for the layoffs, but not in an obvious way. The companies aren't in financial distress—far from it. Rather, there's a desire now among

The problem with manual DASTTraditionally, DAST scans were performed late in the development cycle, often by a separate security team. This approach is no longer sustainable for fast-growing tech companies. Manual DAST introduces several significant challenges:Slow feedback loops: When scans are run manually, developers may not receive feedback on vulnerabilities for days or even weeks. By then, the code has moved on, making fixes more complex and costly t

The enterprise communication blind spotFor years, corporate communications were treated as either static records – emails stored in archives – or ephemeral exchanges that disappeared after use. The rise of AI has changed that. Tools like Microsoft’s Copilot and Zoom’s AI Companion now interpret tone, context, and intent in real-time, turning chat history into searchable knowledge. But for many companies, that same intelligence is emerging in silos, without

As a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study found, old-world internet scammers are getting frustrated as their favorite cybercrime forums turn to generative AI, much the same way Amazon or Reddit have degraded their own sites with the tech — which, you hav

Getty / Futurism The jury’s still out on AI’s effectiveness as a learning tool, but research so far paints a grim picture. Using AI chatbots can impair critical thinking, result in lower brain activity during cognitive tasks, and has been linked to memory loss. There was one prominent study, however, that provided a glimmer of hope for AI advocates. Published in the journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, it purported to show that using AI l

According to the Guardian, at least one-third of UK employers already report using “bossware,” meaning employee monitoring software increasingly i

How students actually use AI toolsWhen it first made the news, ChatGPT was called “the death of the English essay.” Now, that kind of language seems like a promise of an apocalypse that (predictably, in hindsight) never came.Today, students don’t use generative AI tools to generate whole essays. Across multiple surveys, brainstorming, outlining, research, and test prep emerge as the main use cases for AI. For example, the survey from University of Californ

Matthias Balk / picture alliance via Getty Images; Futurism On the surface, companies across nearly every industry seem to be gobbling up AI contracts. Yet under the hood, employees increasingly complain that AI results in more stress while saving no time whatsoever on productive tasks. Many employers, in turn, have begun mandating AI use on the job, some even going so far as to fire those who don’t hop on board in order to justify their big-time spending

Futurism The literary world is being torn asunder after a prestigious magazine was accused of publishing an AI-generated short story. Titled “The Serpent in the Grove,” the story was published Saturday by Granta on its website after being chosen as the winner of the Commonwealth Foundation Short Story Prize for the Caribbean region. Judges praised the story, attributed to a writer identified as Jamir Nazir, for its “precise yet richly evocative language.”
