'I'd never seen such an audacious attack on anonymity before': Clearview AI and the creepy tech that can identify you with a single picture
"Concerns about facial recognition had been building for decades. And now the nebulous bogeyman had finally found its form: a small company with mysterious founders and an unfathomably large database."
Scientists design new 'AGI benchmark' that tests whether any future AI model could cause 'catastrophic harm'
OpenAI scientists have designed MLE-bench — a compilation of 75 extremely difficult tests that can assess whether a future advanced AI agent is capable of modifying its own code and improving itself.
'Future You' AI lets you speak to a 60-year-old version of yourself — and it has surprising wellbeing benefits
An MIT-led project asked young users to talk to an AI-powered simulation of their 60-year-old selves through a chatbot interface. The experience led to decreased anxiety and a boost in optimism.
'It will be comparable with the industrial revolution': Two legendary AI scientists win Nobel Prize in physics for work on neural networks
The researchers developed algorithms and neural networks that set the stage for today's AI technologies
Humanity faces a 'catastrophic' future if we don’t regulate AI, 'Godfather of AI' Yoshua Bengio says
Yoshua Bengio played a crucial role in the development of the machine-learning systems we see today. Now, he says that they could pose an existential risk to humanity.
Will language face a dystopian future? How 'Future of Language' author Philip Seargeant thinks AI will shape our communication
Philip Seargeant tells us how AI will shape the future of our language use.
What is artificial general intelligence (AGI)?
AI development is accelerating — with some scientists suggesting machines will be more intelligent than the smartest humans within the next few years.
'Their capacity to emulate human language and thought is immensely powerful': Far from ending the world, AI systems might actually save it
From disaster recovery to conservation and healthcare, plenty of AI projects will greatly benefit humanity, Microsoft experts Juan M. Lavista Ferres and William B. Weeks say.
What is the dead internet conspiracy?
With the rise of AI models and automated bots, we find out whether there is any weight to the idea that the internet is now mostly dominated by machines or if it’s still a human hangout.
Common AI models believe racist stereotypes about African Americans that predate the Civil Rights movement — and they 'try to hide it when confronted'
When exposed to terms common in different racial dialects, large language models make racist assumptions about people from particular racial groups, even without explicitly knowing their race.
