AI denial is becoming an enterprise risk: Why dismissing “slop” obscures real capability gains

Three years ago, ChatGPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the …

The ‘truth serum’ for AI: OpenAI’s new method for training models to confess their mistakes

OpenAI researchers have introduced a novel method that acts as a “truth serum” for large language models (LLMs), compelling them to self-report their own misbehavior, hallucinations and policy violations. This technique, “confessions,” addresses a growing concern in enterprise AI: Models can be dishonest, overstating their confidence or covering up the shortcuts they take to arrive …

Scientists develop a glasses-free 3D system with a little help from AI

Watching 3D movies and TV shows is a fun and exciting experience, where images leap out of the screen. To get this effect, you usually have to wear a special pair of glasses. But that could soon be a thing of the past as scientists have developed a new display system that delivers a realistic …

Gemini 3 Pro scores 69% trust in blinded testing up from 16% for Gemini 2.5: The case for evaluating AI on real-world trust, not academic benchmarks

Just a few short weeks ago, Google debuted its Gemini 3 model, claiming it scored a leadership position in multiple AI benchmarks. But the challenge with vendor-provided benchmarks is that they are just that — vendor-provided. A new vendor-neutral evaluation from Prolific, however, puts Gemini 3 at the top of the leaderboard. This isn’t on …

Guided learning helps previously ‘untrainable’ neural networks learn effectively

Even networks long considered “untrainable” can learn effectively with a bit of a helping hand. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have shown that a brief period of alignment between neural networks, a method they call guidance, can dramatically improve the performance of architectures previously thought unsuitable for modern tasks.

Amazon’s new AI can code for days without human help. What does that mean for software engineers?

Amazon Web Services on Tuesday announced a new class of artificial intelligence systems called “frontier agents” that can work autonomously for hours or even days without human intervention, representing one of the most ambitious attempts yet to automate the full software development lifecycle. The announcement, made during AWS CEO Matt Garman’s keynote address at the …
