Meet the early-adopter judges using AI

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2025-08-27 06:16:15

In this, Goddard appears to be caught in the same predicament the AI boom has created for many of us. Three years in, companies have built tools that sound so fluent and humanlike they obscure the intractable problems lurking underneath—answers that read well but are wrong, models that are trained to be decent at everything but perfect for nothing, and the risk that your conversations with them will be leaked to the internet. Each time we use them, we bet that the time saved will outweigh the ri

The circus was performing at the Food and Drug Administration this weekend, apparently. The FDA has hired Vinay Prasad to oversee the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research—less than two weeks after he left that same role. Endpoints News was the first to report on Prasad’s rehiring on Saturday. He was initially reportedly fired by President Donald Trump himself, following growing pressure from Laura Loomer and other conservative voices who criticized him over the agency’s regulation of a

NVIDIA may give US government a cut of its profits to sell AI chips to China

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-27 08:00:03

The debate over whether AI chipmakers should be allowed to sell their products to China has taken an unusual turn. The US government has reportedly given NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) permission to make the sales but for one big catch: 15 percent of the sales. The news was first reported by The Financial Times, which cited multiple people familiar with the agreement. In July, NVIDIA announced that the US government would approve export licenses to sell its H20 AI GPUs after blocking t

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-27 10:30:30

Despite the impending loss of federal rebates, Ford plans to give US EV production a huge boost. After hyping it last week as a "breakthrough" and "Model T moment," the company has announced a new Universal EV Platform to be shared by a new family of products. The first of those will be a midsized pickup with a starting price of around $30,000, likely similar in configuration to the popular Maverick.

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones.

Nvidia, AMD may sell high-end AI chips to China if they pay US a cut

Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said artificial general intelligence, or "AGI," is losing its relevance as a term as rapid advances in the space make it harder to define the concept. AGI refers to the concept of a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. For years, OpenAI has been working to research and develop AGI that is safe and benefits all humanity.
