Anker's Eufy paid customers $2 per video to film real or fake thefts for AI training. The campaign collected hundreds of thousands of clips, raising privacy concerns about the security company's data practices.
Hollywood actors and unions are outraged over Particle6's AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood, with Emily Blunt calling her "terrifying" and agencies refusing to represent AI performers.
Advanced AI systems like artificial general intelligence (AGI) will likely engage in psychological manipulation with humans for four key reasons: to manipulate people's behavior, for entertainment purposes, as unexpected emergent...
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that Sora 2 will soon receive tighter copyright controls, giving rights holders like Marvel and Disney more granular control over how their characters are used in generated videos. With users...
Neural networks use mathematical systems to learn patterns by adjusting millions of parameters called weights, becoming universal function approximators that can tackle problems once thought uniquely human. The learning process...
Large language model evaluation involves benchmark-based and judgment-based approaches. Multiple-choice methods like MMLU test knowledge recall through predefined answers, while verifier-based approaches check free-form responses...

Flai raised $4.5 million to build AI voice agents that help car dealerships manage customer calls, emails, and texts. The startup prevents lost sales when phone lines are busy.
AI company OpenAI launched Sora 2, a social media platform that generates endless AI videos similar to TikTok, allowing users to create realistic fake content including copyrighted material and deepfakes by default. The platform...
The future of AI involves networks of smaller, specialized agents with multimodal capabilities running locally on devices, creating distributed "mass intelligence" that understands voice, video, and social context. This shift...
Yale University researchers analyzed 33 months of job data since ChatGPT's launch and found AI has had virtually no impact on American employment, contradicting widespread predictions of massive job displacement. The study...
A revolutionary AI architecture called URI-Transformer preserves the semantic meaning of words while enabling mathematical computation, achieving a 99.9% reduction in memory usage compared to traditional transformers. The system...
ProofOfThought is a new reasoning system that combines large language models (LLMs) with Z3 theorem proving to solve complex logical problems. The system features a two-layer architecture: a simple Python interface for everyday...
RAG technology improves enterprise AI by combining company-specific data with vector search, reducing hallucinations and providing more accurate, personalized responses than general AI tools like ChatGPT.
Meta's V-JEPA AI learns from videos using latent representations to focus on important details, achieving 98% accuracy on physics tests. The system shows "surprise" at impossible events and has been applied to robotics, though it...
Jeff Bezos called the AI boom an "industrial bubble," comparing it to fiber-optic cables that survived the dot-com crash. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon agreed, predicting market corrections while affirming AI's transformative...
EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS have released Apertus, a fully open-source language model where all components including architecture, training data, and model weights are completely accessible and documented. Trained on 15 trillion...
Apple has paused development of a cheaper Vision Pro headset to focus on AI-powered smart glasses competing with Meta. The company is developing two models: the "N50" that pairs with an iPhone without its own display, planned for...
An AI company created digital "actress" Tilly Norwood, claiming talent agencies wanted to sign her. Real actors criticized this as a threat to their jobs, rejecting the creator's defense of it as "art."
Hidden deep within artificial intelligence systems lie billions of mysterious neural pathways that transform our words into responses, their inner workings as opaque as a locked vault. Now, researchers have developed a way to...
Meta will use AI assistant conversations to personalize ads on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp starting December 16, with no opt-out option available for users.
OpenAI launched its new Sora iOS app featuring the upgraded Sora 2 AI video generator, which creates personalized videos with synchronized dialogue and improved physics understanding. The free app has reached third place in App...
Despite widespread fears about AI replacing workers, new research shows most companies are using supervised AI systems rather than fully autonomous agents, with only 15% considering deploying fully autonomous technology. While...
Meta launched "Business AI," a free chat assistant that helps companies provide personalized product recommendations and faster purchasing options through conversations on websites, Instagram, and Facebook. The service, which...
Machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI represent three distinct levels of artificial intelligence technology. Machine learning forms the foundation by teaching computers to recognize patterns in data and make...
