A staggering 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing, according to a recent report published by MIT’s NANDA initiative. But rather than giving up on the technology altogether, the most advanced organizations are experimenting with agentic AI systems that can learn and be supervised. That’s where Maisa AI comes in. The year-old startup has built its entire approach around the premise that enterprise automation requires accountable AI agents, not opaque black boxes. With a new, $25 m
Japanese town proposes two-hour daily limit on smartphones There will be no penalties for breaking the rule, which will be passed in October if approved by lawmakers. Toyoake's mayor said the proposal - which only applies outside of work and study - would not be strictly enforced, but rather was meant to "encourage" residents to better manage their screen time. The proposal, believed to be the first of its kind in Japan, is currently being debated by lawmakers after being submitted by Toyoake
Over the past few years, actor, rapper, and slapper Will Smith has been the subject of a grotesque meme in AI is used to show him gobbling down on nightmarish squelching spaghetti. It now seems that the 56-year-old "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star's team has used the tech to soup up concert footage from his would-be comeback tour — and it strongly appears that the purpose was to make an underwhelming crowd look like they're still filled with love for Smith's much-lampooned career trajectory.

For the better part of a year, we've watched — and reported — in horror as more and more stories emerge about AI chatbots leading people to self-harm, delusions, hospitalization, arrest, and suicide. As the loved ones of the people impacted by these dangerous bots rally for change to prevent such harm from happening to anyone else, the companies that run these AIs have been slow to implement safeguards — and OpenAI, whose ChatGPT has been repeatedly implicated in what experts are now calling "A
As OpenAI's ChatGPT and its imitators exploded onto the world stage over the past few years, they kicked off a series of legal showdowns that are still working their way through the courts. The New York Times is suing OpenAI. Disney is suing Midjourney. And in a class action case representing potentially millions of writers, book authors are suing Anthropic. All these cases are orbiting around a central question: what do the creators of modern AI systems — which are trained by ingesting vast a

Teachers are using Claude to help grade students, a controversial use case. AI companies are doubling down on tools for education. Much of the focus on AI in education is on how students will be affected by AI tools.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang waves to a crowd as he leaves the China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing on July 17, 2025. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said there's a "real possibility" the company brings its advanced Blackwell processor to China as he urges the U.S. government to open up access for American chipmakers. He also predicted the artificial intelligence market in the world's second-biggest economy will grow 50% next year. "The opportunity for us to bring Blackwell to the Chin

In the latest TestFlight release for its iOS beta testers, WhatsApp rolled out a tool called “Writing Help,” which suggests replies based on the tone set by the user. Here’s how it works. As noted by WABetaInfo: When Private Processing is enabled from the app settings, some users will notice that after typing a short phrase within the chat text in
“The last year, A.I. has made tremendous progress,” Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, said during a call with analysts. He said the company’s chips would benefit as spending on A.I. infrastructure increased to $3 trillion to $4 trillion by the end of the decade. “We’re in the beginning of this build-out,” he said. Shares of Nvidia fell more than 2 percent in after-hours trading. The decline, even when the company now posts quarterly profits bigger than tech peers like Apple and Meta, spo

AI bubble? What AI bubble? If you ask Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, we're in a "new industrial revolution." Huang's company, of course, makes chips and computer hardware, the "picks and shovels" of the AI gold rush, and it's become the world's largest business by capitalizing on AI's growth, bubble or not. Speaking on Wednesday during an earnings call as his company reported revenue of $46.7 billion in the past quarter, he indicated no sign that the incredible growth of the generative artificial int
AI boom boosts Nvidia despite 'geopolitical issues' 41 minutes ago Share Save Lily Jamali • @lilyjamali North America Technology Correspondent Reporting from San Francisco Share Save Getty Images Computer-chip designer Nvidia has been boosted by big tech firms keen to expand their AI capabilities, despite dealing with US and China tensions. On Wednesday it reported $46.7bn revenue (£34.6bn) for the second three months of the year, a 56% surge from the same period in 2024. But Nvidia, which ha

Most of the time, AI companies are locked in a race to the top, treating each other as rivals and competitors. Today, OpenAI and Anthropic revealed that they agreed to evaluate the alignment of each other's publicly available systems and shared the results of their analyses. The full reports get pretty technical, but are worth a read for anyone who's following the nuts and bolts of AI development. A broad summary showed some flaws with each company's offerings, as well as revealing pointers for
ChatGPT’s safety guardrails may “degrade” after long conversations, the company that makes it, OpenAI, told Gizmodo Wednesday. “ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Gizmodo. In a blo
Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Wednesday, and said sales growth this quarter will remain above 50%, signaling to Wall Street that demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure shows no sign of fading. The stock, which is up 35% this year after almost tripling in 2024, slipped in extended trading as data center revenue came up short of estimates for the second straight period. Here's how the company did, compared with estimates from analysts polled by LSEG: Ea

Are "dark patterns" and product design choices to blame for the disturbing phenomenon increasingly referred to as "AI psychosis" by mental health professionals? According to some experts, the answer is yes. AI chatbots are pulling a large number of people into strange mental spirals, in which the human-sounding AI convinces users that they've unlocked a sentient being or spiritual entity, uncovered an insidious government conspiracy, or created a new kind of math and physics. Many of these fan

“This research focuses on a central issue in the discourse surrounding AI and language: are these language changes happening because we’re using a tool and repeating what it suggested or is language changing because AI is influencing the human language system?” said assistant professor of computational linguistics and principal investigator Tom Juzek. “By analyzing lexical trends before and after ChatGPT was released in 2022, we found a convergence between human word choices and LLM-associated p
Google has eliminated more than one-third of its managers overseeing small teams, an executive told employees last week, as the company continues its focus on efficiencies across the organization. "Right now, we have 35% fewer managers, with fewer direct reports" than at this time a year ago, said Brian Welle, vice president of people analytics and performance, according to audio of an all-hands meeting reviewed by CNBC. "So a lot of fast progress there." At the meeting, employees asked Welle

It was 8 a.m. and I was sitting in the lobby of the auto body shop when I realized I'd forgotten my earbuds. Normally, that's not a major issue, but I was talking to my phone. And I wasn't talking to another person. I was talking to ChatGPT. It felt as embarrassing as asking Siri a question from across the room or joining a Zoom meeting sans headphones in an open office. I was testing the advanced voice mode that comes with GPT-5, OpenAI's latest version of the generative AI model behind ChatGP
OpenAI has announced its plans to implement parental controls and enhanced safety measures for ChatGPT after parents filed a lawsuit this week in California state court alleging the popular AI chatbot contributed to their 16-year-old son's suicide earlier this year. The company said it feels "a deep responsibility to help those who need it most," and is working to better respond to situations involving chatbot users who may be experiencing mental health crises and suicidal ideation. "We will a
As cybercrime surges around the world, new research increasingly shows that ransomware is evolving as a result of widely available generative AI tools. In some cases, attackers are using AI to draft more intimidating and coercive ransom notes and conduct more effective extortion attacks. But cybercriminals’ use of generative AI is rapidly becoming more sophisticated. Researchers from the generative AI company Anthropic today revealed that attackers are leaning on generative AI more heavily—somet
