Under the hood is everything found in any manufacturing operation:“Who does what” tasks: buy, order, make, design, with photos and deadlines;work orders and operations for a product;warehouse: incoming stock, issuance, material reservations for work orders, storage locations;tools tracked individually, with their history and current holder;drawings and documents with revisions;production comments, shortages, and purchase requests.Everyone sees their own pa

We can replace human workers with AI agents, but we can’t take sexism out of the workplace. A recently published study from researchers at Ireland’s University of Limerick found that existing conscious and unconscious gender biases extend to AI agents, resulting in female-presenting bots getting paid less than their male-presenting counterparts. The study took 189 knowledge workers and placed them in a virtual reality office where they were made to work al

An agent completes a task in 30 steps: it calls the model, searches, writes to the database, and calls the model again. Suppose each step fails once in a hundred: the network flickered, the API returned “overloaded.” Then the task will run to completion in 74% of cases. One in four will fail. With a 3% failure rate per step, only 40% will run to completion.For this calculation, step failures are assumed to be independent and transient.In the demo, the agen

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images In 2024, award-winning singer songwriter Taylor Swift became the victim of a wave of pornographic deepfakes flooding social media feeds. The controversy set the stage for a pandemic of nonconsensual AI-generated nudes, forcing big tech companies into damage control mode and even striking up a political brawl during the runup to the 2024 presidential elections. Even at the time, Swift’s lawyers were no strangers to their client

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

TW3 Entertainment Just when you thought the holiday season couldn’t arrive any earlier this year, here comes an AI-generated Christmas movie. Titled “Merry the Christmas Witch,” it’s based on a children’s book and will inspire awe in its young audience about the magic of the holidays — through ghoulish and uncanny AI imagery (you can see footage here). The film — which currently has no distributor — cost $1.5 million to make, but its director brags that us

People tend to articulate their words less precisely when expressing a positive feeling, according to new research led by Nigel Ward, Ph.D., a professor in UTEP's Department of Co

Shutterstock / Futurism Microsoft just filed a patent for an AI product that would be able to transform live video in real time to alter speakers’ words and faces. The patent, as first flagged by patent-tracker Patentlyze, is described by its inventors as a “near real-time artificial intelligence (AI) enhancement of video or augmented reality (AR) presentations of live events.” Using AI agents, the system would identify and alter or remove certain words, w

It seems like Google has no problem kicking a horse when it’s down. The tech giant announced Monday two new versions of its existing AI chip systems, designed to offer stronger security and handle more demanding AI workloads. The news comes just days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company dominates the AI chip market, admitted to having an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Nvidia’s board of directors has since launched an independ

An experiment successfully issued voice commands from the ground to a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite and launched the FPS game “DOOM” in space. The system worked by having AI onboard the satellite recognize the voice and launch the game. Seven experiments were conducted from April through July 2026, ultimately succeeding in control through speech spoken directly by a human.
