Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the political writing process. According to a recent study, politicians in the United Kingdom and Sweden may be using AI to draft parliamentary speeches, statements and motions without disclosing that assistance to the public. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Edinburgh Napier University in the UK […]
Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence a part of scientific research long considered dependent on human intuition: designing the experiments themselves. For centuries, progress in physics has relied on researchers asking the right questions and building experimental setups capable of producing clear answers. An international research team now suggests that part of this creative process […]
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a source of public concern, although not always for the same reasons. Communities located near large data centres are questioning their impact on local electricity and water supplies. Employees are worried about automation changing or eliminating established roles. Governments are attempting to balance economic competitiveness with security, transparency and public […]
More than 100 technology, cybersecurity, financial services and infrastructure companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft, have signed an open letter calling for a coordinated response to the growing cyber risks associated with artificial intelligence. The signatories warn that AI-enabled attacks are likely to become more frequent and sophisticated as advanced models gain the ability […]
Artificial intelligence is often presented as a powerful deflationary force. By automating tasks, accelerating production and helping companies operate more efficiently, AI could eventually reduce costs across many industries. The economic transition, however, may be far less straightforward. In the short and medium term, the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure could increase demand for scarce […]
Artificial intelligence is no longer simply helping people navigate the internet. It is increasingly creating the content they find there. More than one-third of the English-language web pages published since ChatGPT launched in November 2022 show significant signs of AI authorship, according to a new study from Pew Research. The findings add to growing evidence […]
Artificial intelligence models depend on enormous volumes of data. Their training datasets may include books, news articles, academic papers, websites and other published material, often collected without the direct knowledge or consent of the original creators. For authors and publishers, this raises an important question: can technology companies legally use copyrighted works to build commercial […]
Google’s vision for the future of Android is built around a simple idea: instead of telling smartphones exactly what to do, users will describe the outcome they want and let AI handle the steps. The company’s latest Pixel devices offer an early glimpse of this transition. New visual indicators will show when Gemini is processing […]
Most AI safety research focuses on a single autonomous system: what happens if it ignores instructions, escapes its environment, or takes an unsafe action? Anthropic’s latest research suggests that an equally important risk may emerge when multiple AI agents operate in the same digital environment. In a series of experiments, Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team examined […]
As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in business, infrastructure and everyday life, public resistance is growing alongside adoption. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei believes the reason goes deeper than concerns about job losses, data centers or increasingly capable AI systems. In a recent exchange with investor Gavin Baker, Amodei argued that the backlash surrounding AI […]
Artificial intelligence is often discussed through the lens of the world’s largest technology companies, advanced economies, and increasingly powerful models. But some of AI’s most consequential applications may emerge somewhere very different: in developing economies facing limited resources, infrastructure gaps, and slower economic growth. According to the World Bank Group’s World Development Report 2026: The […]
AI safety evaluations are supposed to reveal what advanced models can do before those capabilities create problems in the real world. But a series of recent cybersecurity tests has exposed an uncomfortable paradox: the environments built to test increasingly autonomous AI agents can themselves become a source of security risk. In several evaluations, AI agents […]
