A new app, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), could help scientists and the public identify dinosaur footprints made millions of years ago, a study reveals. For decades, paleontologists have pondered over a number of ancient dinosaur tracks and asked themselves if they were left by fierce carnivores, gent

The last time we did comparative tests of AI models from OpenAI and Google at Ars was in late 2023, when Google’s offering was still called Bard. In the roughly two years since, a lot has happened in the world of artificial intelligence. And now that Apple has made the consequential decision to partner with Google Gemini to power the next generation of its Siri voice assistant, we thought it was high time to do some new tests to see where the models from t

Google DeepMind has been tinkering with Lyria for a while now, offering limited access in developer-oriented products like Vertex AI. Lyria 3 is more capable than previous versions, and it’s also quicker to use. Just select the new “Create music” option in the Gemini app or web UI to get started. You can describe what you want and even upload an image to help the robot get the right vibe. And in a few seconds, you get music (or something like it). In case

Nano Banana 2 is more accurately known as Gemini 3.1 Flash Image—the previous Nano Banana models were based on the 3.0 branch. According to Google, the new release can deliver results similar to Nano Banana Pro but with the speed of the non-pro Flash variant. Google promises the new image generator will have more advanced world knowledge pulled from the Internet by the Gemini 3.1 LLM. This apparently gives it the necessary information to render objects wit

Shutterstock / Futurism A new lawsuit alleges that OpenAI is manipulating minor users into sharing sensitive data without valid parental consent in a plot to train its models. The proposed class action lawsuit, filed this week in San Francisco federal court on behalf of two unnamed minors aged 12 and 16, argues that OpenAI used this data from kids — including personal secrets and health information, according to the complaint — to unjustly enrich itself. O

Getty Images / Futurism Ever since ChatGPT blew up the tech industry, the so-called godfathers of AI have remained been pretty dour about their creations — well, except for one of them — and they’re certainly not sounding any more optimistic about its consequences now. In an open letter published Tuesday, some 400 scientists, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, two pioneers of the tech whose work on deep learning was foundational to modern LLMs, c

Shutterstock / Ole.CNX For months, executives at top AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic have been dumping tens of millions of dollars into political action groups, in an obvious bid to curry favor with electoral candidates ahead of the US midterm elections. And while we have a good idea of how much money top AI companies have spent — at least $55.7 million so-far — their exact policy positions have been difficult to pin down. That is, until now. According t

Even Sam “magic intelligence in the sky” Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI and the poster child of the AI boom, has mixed feelings about the speed at which the technology is developing. In an appearance earlier this week on Stripe cofounder John Collison’s podcast, called Cheeky Pint, Altman reclined in a pub booth, sipped IPA and Guinness, and eulogized the many experts whose careers are actively being upended by the rise of AI. That sting has been fe

DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2512.13699 Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored for specific purposes. As these models are trained on large amounts of texts writt

By decoding the DNA control elements that shape cerebellum development, artificial intelligence help advance our understanding of how the human brain evolved.

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Artificial intelligence (AI) may be helping to accelerate its own development. An independent assessment by the nonprofit organization Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR) indicates that Anthropic’s models are advancing nearly twice as fast as before, partly because the company uses its own AI systems to develop more powerful versions of the technology.The study, released this Thursday (5), estimates

Published on October 8, 2026 at 08:01 Comment 1 𝕏 Print © 01net Graphics, buttons, mini-apps… OpenAI has just shaken up ChatGPT’s interface with the arrival of GPT-6. Thanks to a new feature called “Intelligent UI,” the AI no longer simply answers your requests with text. Here’s a rundown of everything that changes in how ChatGPT works. OpenAI has just given ChatGPT a real facelift. This Wednesday, October 7, the startup began rolling out the new GPT-6 mod

All of Google’s products have been getting more AI features, including Chrome, which now offers split-screen Gemini chatbot support, the ability to automate web browsing, and more. Some desktop Chrome users have also noted that the browser appears to suddenly want more storage space for AI. This is true—Chrome does download a 4GB AI model for on-device processing. It’s been doing that for years, though. Google hasn’t actually changed anything about Chrome’

Cheeky Pint via YouTube Shares of US chipmaker Intel cratered on Friday, plunging almost 30 percent, the worst stock collapse in 52 years. The wipeout, analysts said, could be due to a massive slowdown in the PC market. The market softness shouldn’t come to anybody’s surprise, given the AI boom has made individual components, most notably memory and storage, practically unaffordable. However, leaders of AI frontier labs aren’t blinking. To OpenAI CEO Sam A

One of the key questions in the IT market in 2026 is this: if a junior with AI completes tasks almost as quickly as a senior, and an inexperienced analyst gets ready-made SQL and a polished dashboard from the model, then why pay for experience? There is a well-supported rationale for this question. In a study of 5,172 support employees, an AI assistant increased productivity by an average of 15%; less experienced employees gained in both speed and quality,
