Researchers gave top AI models a classic attention test used in psychology and found a major flaw. While the models could correctly name colors in short lists, their performance deteriorated sharply as the task became longer and more complex. Some leading systems fell from over 90% accuracy to nearly complete failure.
Workshopping, an iterative process in which creators share ideas, test what works and refine what doesn’t through collective feedback, is at the heart of any writers group. This collaborative dynamic inspired George Mason University Ph.D. student Shiwei Hong to explore whether artificial intelligence (AI) could benefit from a similar approach.
A recent video of a great white shark in the Mediterranean Sea offers the possibility of deriving valuable information for conservation strategies.
Cornell researchers are investigating the potential for using artificial intelligence to give robots social intelligence—the ability to read facial cues, anticipate the needs of those around them, and function within society. The new study tested the ability of vision language models (VLMs)—AI systems that can interpret and generate both visual information and language—to predict whether …

The ChatGPT-maker announced it has filed paperwork to go public, just a week after rival Anthropic took the same step.
As artificial intelligence systems grow larger and more powerful, their energy demands are rising dramatically. But recent research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst published in Nature Communications suggests that advanced AI capabilities may be achievable with dramatically lower energy consumption.
Sigma’s new entry is both a bold design experiment and a pretty decent camera.
I tried all the top models to find the best 3-in-1 Apple charging stations, pads, and more. Keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods topped up with these WIRED-tested docking systems.
New studies suggest consciousness can’t be judged solely by behavior, whether it’s a chatbot discussing philosophy or a bee searching for nectar. Researchers are increasingly focusing on the internal mechanisms of brains and computers, concluding that today’s AI is likely not conscious while leaving open the possibility for both conscious insects and future machines.
