Artificial intelligence systems are capable of making collective decisions and even persuading one another to change course—without any human input—according to a groundbreaking new study by researchers at City St George’s, University of London. In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists tested how groups of AI agents behave in social scenarios traditionally used to study human decision-making. […]
OpenAI has just added a powerful new capability to its “deep research” feature in ChatGPT: a GitHub connector that allows users to analyze codebases directly from the platform. Announced Thursday, this marks the first official “connector” for ChatGPT’s deep research tool, which was originally designed to comb the web and other sources to compile detailed […]
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, tech leaders seem divided on how humans will fit into the workforce of the future. On one side are those who believe AI will replace nearly every job—except perhaps their own. (Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, for instance, appears convinced that his role as an investor is immune to […]
With healthcare systems stretched thin by long waiting times and rising costs, more people are turning to AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT for medical advice. A recent survey shows that about one in six American adults already consult chatbots for health-related questions at least once a month. However, relying heavily on these tools may be risky. […]
Google is preparing to allow children access to its Gemini AI apps on supervised Android devices, according to a report from The New York Times. Parents using Google’s Family Link controls have started receiving emails informing them of the upcoming change. Children will be able to use Gemini to get help with tasks like homework […]
For several months, an AI-generated DJ has been hosting a show on a major Australian radio station — and hardly anyone noticed. The program, Workdays with Thy, airs on Sydney’s CADA station and features a four-hour mix of hip hop, R&B, and pop. Despite the regular broadcasts, there was no public indication that “Thy,” the […]
A new study surveying 3,500 students, educators, and administrators across seven countries shows students are more concerned about AI’s impact on education than teachers or academic leaders. While 64% of students expressed worries, only 50% of educators and 41% of administrators shared the same concerns. Students mainly fear overreliance on AI and the erosion of […]
Artificial intelligence has proven itself capable of writing sharp book reviews and displaying a surprising sense of irony—but it won’t replace quality journalism, according to the editor of Il Foglio, an Italian newspaper leading the charge in AI experimentation. In what it claims as a global first, Il Foglio recently completed a month-long trial featuring […]
The Real Challenge in Scaling AI? It’s Not What You Think AI adoption is accelerating—but scaling it remains a different game entirely. While many businesses focus on flashy prototypes or overbuilt architectures, the real challenge lies in balancing complexity, cost, and speed. The result? Tech leaders end up with projects that spiral in scope, drain […]
Weeks after the launch of Gemini 2.5 Pro—Google’s most advanced AI model to date—the company released a technical report on its internal safety evaluations. But according to experts, the report offers limited detail, leaving key questions about potential risks unanswered. Technical reports are typically seen as vital tools for transparency, offering insights—both positive and critical—about […]
A recent incident involving the AI-powered code editor Cursor has reignited concerns about the reliability of artificial intelligence in customer support roles. On Monday, a developer noticed that switching between devices while using Cursor would unexpectedly log them out—a frustrating issue for programmers who rely on seamless multi-device workflows. Seeking answers, the user contacted support […]
OpenAI’s latest AI models, o3 and o4-mini, are designed to be top-tier reasoning engines—but they come with a significant drawback: they hallucinate more frequently than several of the company’s earlier models. Hallucinations, where AI generates false or fabricated information, remain one of the most persistent challenges in the field. While previous models have generally shown […]
