Messages between Shivon Zilis and Tesla executives reveal plans in 2017 to start a rival AI lab, potentially led by Altman or Demis Hassabis.

Robots are trained for specific tasks, such as cutting, using simulation. However, collecting real-world data is expensive, slow, and sometimes unsafe, particularly for tasks involving physical interaction. A new AI-based method co-developed by Aston University’s Dr. Alireza Rastegarpanah could revolutionize the way advanced robotic systems are trained for real-life tasks, making them more practical and …

OpenAI’s president wrapped his testimony on Tuesday by revealing a fiery meeting with Musk and subsequent efforts to remove several board members.

Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that. Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and evaluate possible solutions. The AI doesn’t just compute—it reasons, scoring pathways and explaining which ones make the most sense.

Artificial intelligence systems based on neural networks—such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek or Gemini—are extraordinarily powerful, yet their internal workings remain largely a “black box.” To better understand how these systems produce their responses, a group of physicists at Harvard University has developed a simplified mathematical model of learning in neural networks that can be analyzed …

OpenAI’s cofounder and president revealed in federal court on Monday that he’s one of the largest individual stakeholders in the AI lab.

A research team led by Virginia Tech cybersecurity expert Bimal Viswanath has found a critical blind spot in today’s image protection techniques designed to prevent bad actors from stealing online content for unauthorized artificial intelligence training, style mimicry, and deepfake manipulations. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.

This $2,000 Asus laptop delivers breathtaking performance thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, but at the cost of nearly everything else.

Tovala is a meal kit that comes with a smart oven, or a smart oven that comes with a meal kit. New family meals make it much more useful. But lord, the sodium.

As adult riders report new age-verification checks, the self-driving car company says it’s continuing to “refine” its system in places where kids aren’t allowed to ride alone.
