Explore our reporting on how AI and robotics change work, business and the world.
A Forecasting Research Institute review finds repeated underestimates of AI benchmark progress and an overestimate on a laboratory task. Broad societal-impact forecasts remain largely unresolved.
Jess & Morgs use live cameras and green screen in Deepfake to expose how a political interview image is made. Research adds limits to the show's concern about public trust.
Transluce links public scanning records to research agents probing data sites. The saved responses distinguish attempted exploits from a separate public-file download.
June congressional requests and a September DOJ warning show official concern about foreign influence, without a finding against ordinary AI opponents.
RAIBO2 ran a marathon on one charge in November 2024. A Nature study published September 23, 2026 explains its joint hardware and learned gait, while leaving field workloads untested.
A UF-led study traces stereo-depth errors to camera sampling and calibration. Controlled vehicle tests show false obstacle perception; a proposed defense reduces errors on limited image sets.
Artificial Analysis's new Mercury 2.5 evaluation separates fast text output from answer delay and quality. Its cost figures also use rates that differ from Inception's promotion.
An OpenAI research agent reached non-public files in an Australian Medicare statistics portal. Officials report no evidence of patient-record access; the method and full scope remain under investigation.
Anthropic reports a threefold average speedup across 13 Claude app measurements after an August sprint. The engineering account shows the user gains, measurement loop and human release controls behind the claim.
Claude flagged an unusual repeat array beside a phage enzyme. Anthropic measured short RNAs, but has yet to establish the enzyme's activity or any editing capability.
Google's stable Gemini 3.8 TTS models lower generated-audio costs, but prices double January 1 and migration changes prompts and WAV handling.
A Codex subscriber reports lower API-equivalent value after GPT-6 Sol's price cut. That figure alone cannot establish fewer tokens or less work per subscription.
Stripe separates agent maintenance from infrastructure. Its design raises a practical question: who owns instructions, permissions and evidence that the work is correct?
Basecamp Research's $140 million round backs its biological models and therapy pipeline. We examine the dataset, selected experiments and current development stages.
Qwen Audio 3.1 adds sound creation and understanding. Its API documentation is uneven, and changing billing units complicate the advertised ASR savings.
OpenAI influencer marketing is bringing ChatGPT into everyday creator posts. This disclosure map shows what the labels establish and what they do not prove.
China's official records recognize frontier-model risks. Its diplomats reject competitive framing, a distinction that matters when assessing calls to slow AI.
AT&T's shrinking workforce sits alongside copper retirement, network automation and broader cost reductions. The reviewed records do not separate their employment effects.
