Why You Can’t Trust a Chatbot to Talk About Itself
When something goes wrong with an AI assistant, our instinct is to ask it directly: “What happened?” or “Why did you do that?” It's a natural impulse—after all, if a human makes a mistake,…
Google DeepMind’s new AI can help historians understand ancient Latin inscriptions
To do this, Aeneas takes in partial transcriptions of an inscription alongside a scanned image of it. Using these, it gives possible dates and places of origins for the engraving, along…
Former Top Google Researchers Have Made a New Kind of AI Agent
A new kind of artificial intelligence agent, trained to understand how software is built by gorging on a company’s data and learning how this leads to an end product, could be both a more…
This AI Model Never Stops Learning
Modern large language models (LLMs) might write beautiful sonnets and elegant code, but they lack even a rudimentary ability to learn from experience. Researchers at Massachusetts…
A Deep Learning Alternative Can Help AI Agents Gameplay the Real World
A new machine learning approach that draws inspiration from the way the human brain seems to model and learn about the world has proven capable of mastering a number of simple video games…
A United Arab Emirates Lab Announces Frontier AI Projects—and a New Outpost in Silicon Valley
