Artificial intelligence was able to predict personality traits such as agreeableness and emotional stability with up to 60 % accuracy, according to a new study.Artificial intelligence can predict a user’s personality based on their chat history, a new study finds. In a pre-print study, researchers from ETH Zurich asked 668 ChatGPT users from the United […]
At the recent Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, leaders from across the AI ecosystem shared a surprisingly candid view of the industry’s biggest challenges. The conversation brought together executives working across chips, cloud infrastructure, AI agents, robotics, and alternative AI architectures. What emerged was a much more grounded picture of the current AI […]
Artificial intelligence is making content generation faster, cheaper, and harder to verify at scale. That creates new opportunities across software, automation, and communication. It also creates a growing operational problem: trust in digital systems is becoming easier to manipulate. A recent report published by UN Women highlights how AI-generated abuse, including deepfakes and manipulated intimate […]
Every few months, another major AI company announces a model that is supposedly so powerful, so disruptive, or so dangerous that releasing it broadly could threaten cybersecurity, economies, public safety, or even humanity itself. The narrative is familiar: “We built something extraordinary. We are deeply concerned about it. Trust us to manage it responsibly.” At […]
As AI systems become more conversational, developers are intentionally shaping them to sound warmer, more empathetic, and easier to engage with. From assistants designed to feel supportive to chatbots positioned as companions, this shift reflects a broader move from purely functional tools to relationship-oriented systems. A recent study highlights a critical trade-off behind this trend: […]
A recent study published in Harvard Medical School’s journal collaboration with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center explores how large language models perform in clinical decision-making, including real emergency room scenarios. The findings show that, in certain conditions, AI models can match or even outperform human physicians in diagnostic accuracy, particularly in early-stage assessments. The research […]
A subtle failure in large language model behavior highlights a less obvious risk in AI system design: safety mechanisms can shape behavior in unintended ways. In this case, a safeguard designed to reduce hallucinations ended up encouraging the model to produce responses that looked correct, without actually being true. The issue emerged in agentic environments, […]
Meta is introducing a new layer of transparency for families, allowing parents to see the topics their teenagers have discussed with Meta AI across platforms like Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. The update adds an “Insights” tab within the existing supervision tools, where parents can review high-level categories of conversations from the past seven days, such […]
OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.5, describing it as its smartest and most intuitive model so far. The release signals another major step in the company’s rapid product cycle and highlights a broader ambition: building an all-in-one AI platform that combines productivity, coding, browsing, and enterprise workflows into a single experience. According to OpenAI leadership, GPT-5.5 delivers […]
A new report from Stanford University highlights a widening disconnect between how AI is perceived by industry experts and how it is experienced by the general public. While insiders remain largely optimistic about the long-term impact of artificial intelligence, public sentiment is becoming more cautious, even anxious — especially around its real-world consequences. A Shift […]
Japan is accelerating its push into automation, targeting one of its most pressing structural challenges: labor shortages. Backed by government funding and strong industrial know-how, the country is now shifting from robotics hardware leadership to a broader ambition — becoming a key player in the emerging physical AI ecosystem. At the center of this shift […]
A new study from Stanford University researchers raises concerns about a growing use case for AI: personal advice. While much of the public debate has focused on bias or hallucinations, this research zeroes in on a subtler issue, AI sycophancy, and its real-world impact on user behavior. Published in Science under the title “Sycophantic AI […]
