A new book claims AI has been built on a flawed assumption dating back to Alan Turing’s famous 1950 paper. Peter J. Denning argues that the most important parts of human intelligence, including common sense, intuition, culture, and practical know-how, cannot be encoded into computers. He believes this makes true human-level AI impossible, regardless of …

Robots walking down the street, surrounded by astounded onlookers, are an increasingly common sight. But these machines aren’t yet the do-it-all assistants you’d want working in a kitchen or factory, and a major bottleneck is data. Much like humans, robots learn best by experience. The challenge is that it’s labor-intensive and time-consuming to physically teach …

Agent systems change constantly in production.
By Parth Jain, Rakesh Sukumar, Yingwu Zhao, Renzo Sanchez-Silva & Nathan FisherA deep dive into the engineering challenges of building a real-time service dependency map at Netflix scale: from streaming architectures and distributed aggregation pipelines to time-travel queries and the methodology that made it work. Introduction In our first post, we introduced the problem: engineers at …

Build with the smartest family of models from OpenAI yet, on Amazon Bedrock’s next-generation inference engine. Organizations scaling autonomous agents and AI-powered products need frontier intelligence that performs reliably across hundreds of steps, from coding agents shipping production code to cyber security research probing novel attack surfaces to genomics workflows analyzing entire gene sequences end-to-end. …

How should your security team manage shadow AI? Workloads deployed by developers without formal registration can often evade traditional security scanners, because organizations are reluctant to slow down development and compromise stability by demanding privileged Daemonsets, kernel-level access, and manual pod-spec edits. To break this deadlock, today we are open-sourcing k8s-aibom. This lightweight, unprivileged Kubernetes …

Project Hail Mary, They Will Kill You, and The Long Walk are among the films deserving of your eyeballs this month.
A new study suggests the brain begins making decisions much earlier than scientists previously thought. Researchers found that even primary sensory regions are influenced by higher brain areas through rapid feedback loops, rather than simply passing information forward. This more dynamic view of brain function could help engineers design future AI systems that think more …

The safety performance of autonomous vehicle (AV) algorithms is boosted by 90% using simulation data that better incorporates near-miss incidents with outright failures, according to new research led by University of Michigan Engineering.
In at least two places, Uber has pushed a policy that could give it an advantage over developers of self-driving cars. The company says it’s fighting monopolies.
