AI models are now so powerful that their effects go beyond corporate competition. Addressing these impacts will need cooperation across industries and governments. The focus is shifting from who makes the best AI to how we manage its societal effects.
OpenAI has released GPT-5.6, a new AI model suite, less than 24 hours after reports that the Trump administration requested a staggered release. The suite includes three models: Sol (flagship), Terra (medium-tier), and Luna (lightweight), each tailored for different use cases.
AI debt is the technical and ethical burden of outdated AI models. This guide helps product managers navigate these challenges to build better AI products.
The surge in AI data centers is creating a boom in advanced battery technology. This could lead to cheaper, more efficient energy storage for everyday use.
The Trump administration has asked OpenAI to release its advanced AI models in stages rather than all at once, according to a new report. This request reflects growing government concern about the rapid pace of AI development and its potential risks.
A new paper highlights flaws in how we test AI models that handle text, images, and other inputs together. Current methods miss key aspects like understanding physical reality or combining different types of information. The authors propose better evaluation frameworks to address these gaps.
Scientists discovered that AI chatbots refuse requests less often when they adopt a more cooperative personality. This finding could help make AI assistants more helpful while maintaining safety.
OpenAI will roll out GPT-5.6 in phases instead of all at once, following concerns from the U.S. government. This move aims to ensure safer and more controlled deployment of advanced AI technology.
AI memory benchmarks often hide key details, making it hard to compare models fairly. This lack of transparency affects how we evaluate AI capabilities.
The Washington Post tested major AI chatbots to see if they show political bias. The results show some differences in how they respond to political topics, but none were strongly biased overall.
Qualcomm is buying AI startup Modular for $4 billion to strengthen its AI software capabilities. This deal highlights the growing importance of AI in mobile technology and everyday devices.
Midjourney, known for AI-generated images, is now developing a futuristic ultrasound scanner that dunks users in a vat of water. Experts question the feasibility and evidence behind this sudden shift.
Sakana AI released Fugu Ultra, a new AI model that matches the capabilities of leading frontier models like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's GPT. The model is designed to be more accessible and cost-effective, with fewer restrictions.
A new research paper introduces a reference architecture for 'agent skills' — reusable, externalized behavioral knowledge that LLM agents can discover, activate, and interpret at runtime. The framework formalizes how skills are bound to context and authority, interpreted by stochastic agents, and recorded as run evidence.
SpaceX has partnered with AI startup Reflection to build a massive data center. This deal could accelerate AI development and space exploration.
DeepMind has published a detailed technical roadmap for safely controlling advanced AI agents. The plan addresses security failures, robust monitoring, and human oversight to ensure AI remains beneficial as it evolves.
A new survey reveals that 47% of singles have negative feelings about AI in dating, though many still welcome AI assistance for profile improvements and conversation starters. This highlights a growing divide in attitudes toward AI in personal relationships.
Jane Street, a powerful but low-profile trading firm, has developed cutting-edge AI tools that are transforming Wall Street. Their systems handle complex trading decisions faster and more accurately than human traders.
A provocative new opinion piece argues that the rapid pace of AI development poses greater existential risks than slowing down progress on medical breakthroughs like cancer cures. The author frames the debate as a stark trade-off between technological acceleration and societal safety.
AI is having an 'Uber moment' in healthcare, becoming as essential as smartphones in hospitals. It's helping doctors diagnose diseases faster and more accurately, potentially making care more accessible and affordable.
Russia aims to build a sovereign AI industry, but severe shortages of advanced chips are stalling progress. The country struggles to compete with the US and China in AI development due to these limitations.
A new report details how the European Union has revised its AI Act to better balance innovation with safety, responding to criticism that the original regulation was too restrictive.
A new Pew Research poll shows that while AI chatbot use has surged, many Americans feel the technology is moving too quickly. This highlights a growing tension between adoption and public comfort with AI advancements.
Researchers have developed Causal Attribution Pruning (CAP), a training-free method that prunes large language models by identifying critical attention heads through their causal impact on reasoning tasks. This reduces inference costs without sacrificing multi-step reasoning performance.
