Research leaders urge tech industry to monitor AI’s ‘thoughts’

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-08-01 08:00:00

AI researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, as well as a broad coalition of companies and nonprofit groups, are calling for deeper investigation into techniques for monitoring the so-called thoughts of AI reasoning models in a position paper published Tuesday. A key feature of AI reasoning models, such as OpenAI’s o3 and DeepSeek’s R1, are their chains-of-thought or CoTs — an externalized process in which AI models work through problems, similar to how humans use a scratch pad to wo

technologyreview.com Mit Technology Review Insights 2025-08-01 12:32:33

As efforts to revive and modernize local manufacturing accelerate in regions around the world, including North America and Europe, adaptive production could help manufacturers overcome some of their biggest obstacles—firstly, attracting and retaining talent. Nearly 60% of manufacturers cited this as their top challenge in a 2024 US-based survey. Highly automated, technology-led adaptive production methods hold new promise for attracting talent to roles that are safer, less repetitive, and better

Google's AI Refuses to Even Play Chess Against 1977 Atari, After Hearing What It Did to Other Cutting-Edge AIs

The thing that AI models apparently fear the most? A game console released nearly fifty years ago. We are referring, of course, to the inimitable Atari 2600. Last month, the iconic system embarrassed the AI industry after it absolutely rinsed ChatGPT at a simple game of chess. It was a clash between a machine released in 1977, with 128 bytes of RAM, and a cutting-edge large language model with trillions of parameters, powered by however many thousands of graphics cards and billions of dollars

Nvidia CEO Meets With Trump and Secures Permission to Sell AI Chips in China Again

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-08-01 16:25:49

It’s been a very busy week for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. After meeting with President Donald Trump and senior officials in Beijing in recent days, Huang has secured a major victory for his AI-chip empire. On Monday, Nvidia announced that the U.S. government will allow it to resume sales of its H20 AI chips in China. The company still needs to secure official licensing approval from the Trump administration, but officials have reportedly assured Nvidia “that licenses will be granted.” The company

‘Not that into peace doves’: The Apollo-Soyuz patch NASA rejected

Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, three NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts lifted off to meet up in orbit for the first time. Representing the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP, or Soyuz-Apollo in the Soviet Union), both crews wore a cloth patch that featured the artwork of an accomplished space artist. The design that flew, however, was not the astronauts' first pick. That patch idea was rejected because Paul Calle opted to highlight the détente nature of the international handsha

Base model iPhone 17 may be more powerful than previously suggested

Lenovo’s Luxurious Chromebook Plus 14 Has More Power Than It Knows What to Do With

It’s a pretty device with surprisingly good audio and more power under the hood than the previous leading contender, the $700 Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. But is taking the crown as king of ChromeOS enough to justify the $650 asking price?

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-08-01 20:00:00

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

The news: A new technique known as “machine unlearning” could be used to teach AI models to forget specific voices. How it works: Currently, companies tend to deal with this issue by checking whether the prompts or the AI’s responses contain disallowed material. Machine unlearning instead asks whether an AI can be made to forget a piece of information that the company doesn’t want it to know.
