A powerhouse team has launched a new initiative called ‘Doing AI Differently,’ which calls for a human-centred approach to future development. For years, we’ve treated AI’s outputs like they’re the results of a giant math problem. But the researchers – from The Alan Turing Institute, the University of Edinburgh, AHRC-UKRI, and the Lloyd’s Register Foundation…
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has laid out his blueprint for the future of AI, and it’s about giving you “personal superintelligence”. In a letter, the Meta chief painted a picture of what’s coming next, and he believes it’s closer than we think. He says his teams are already seeing early signs of progress. “Over the…
Anthropic has built an army of autonomous AI agents with a singular mission: to audit powerful models like Claude to improve safety. As these complex systems rapidly advance, the job of making sure they are safe and don’t harbour hidden dangers has become a herculean task. Anthropic believes it has found a solution, and it’s…
The White House has released its ‘AI Action Plan’, which frames the coming decade as a technological race the US cannot afford to lose. Laced with the urgent rhetoric of a new cold war, the action plan argues that securing victory in AI is nothing short of a national imperative. Trump’s foreword sets the tone,…
OpenAI has shaken hands with Oracle on a colossal deal to advance the former’s colossal Stargate AI data centre initiative. It’s one thing to talk about the AI revolution in abstract terms, but it’s another thing entirely to grasp the sheer physical scale of what’s being built to make it happen. The foundations of our…
A criticism about AI safety from an OpenAI researcher aimed at a rival opened a window into the industry’s struggle: a battle against itself. It started with a warning from Boaz Barak, a Harvard professor currently on leave and working on safety at OpenAI. He called the launch of xAI’s Grok model “completely irresponsible,” not…
Mark Zuckerberg has a history of making audacious bets that reshape entire industries – and losing spectacularly when they don’t pan out. After burning through US$46 billion on the metaverse with little to show for it, the Meta CEO is now doubling down with an even more ambitious wager: superintelligence AI. This time, however, the…
Nvidia briefly became the world’s most valuable company on Wednesday after its stock jumped over 4% in price to a new high of $154.10, pushing its market value to $3.76 trillion. Reuters said the chipmaker overtook Microsoft, which stood at $3.65 trillion after a smaller gain. The rise follows a note from Loop Capital, which…
‘The OpenAI Files’ report, assembling voices of concerned ex-staff, claims the world’s most prominent AI lab is betraying safety for profit. What began as a noble quest to ensure AI would serve all of humanity is now teetering on the edge of becoming just another corporate giant, chasing immense profits while leaving safety and ethics…
OpenAI chief Sam Altman has declared that humanity has crossed into the era of artificial superintelligence—and there’s no turning back. “We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started,” Altman states. “Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far it’s much less weird than it seems like it should be.”…
