General Motors’ effort to pioneer autonomous mobility has faced significant hurdles, but recent activities suggest a strategic pivot rather than outright abandonment. After discontinuing its cruise-focused robotaxi service amidst safety concerns and regulatory setbacks, GM has subtly shifted its focus towards refining and enhancing its human-assisted driving technologies. The deployment of modified Bolt electric vehicles

The recent revelation of secret communications between the US Department of Justice and major tech giants exposes a complex web of legal and political maneuvering that surpasses the surface-level conflict over TikTok. While on paper, the US government remains committed to banning TikTok due to national security concerns, behind the scenes, influential tech companies are
At first glance, Elon Musk’s xAI project in Memphis proclaims an image of technological innovation and rapid advancement. The company’s boastful claim of constructing the supercomputer Colossus in just 122 days is undeniably impressive on a technical level, showcasing engineering prowess and ambition. However, beneath this veneer of progress lies a troubling reality: the environmental
In the rush to regulate artificial intelligence, the recent Congressional tussle over the so-called “AI moratorium” reflects a troubling disconnect between political maneuvering and the urgent need for meaningful oversight. Originally, a sweeping 10-year pause aimed at halting state AI regulations was blasted by an unlikely coalition—from state attorneys general to far-right politicians—for effectively granting
Microsoft has introduced a groundbreaking AI system that promises to dramatically transform medical diagnostics and healthcare costs. Far from incremental advancements, this AI approach signals a major shift by emulating the nuanced diagnostic reasoning of human physicians. The technology combines multiple leading AI models—including OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Llama, and xAI’s Grok—under
The race to dominate artificial intelligence research has exploded into an intense showdown, sharply illuminated by recent events involving OpenAI and Meta. Mark Zuckerberg’s social media empire has made aggressive moves, luring away senior researchers from OpenAI by dangling staggering signing bonuses reportedly reaching $100 million. This aggressive talent acquisition strategy signals more than just
The artificial intelligence landscape is witnessing a dramatic shift as Meta aggressively pursues top-tier talent from its rivals, particularly OpenAI. This week, four notable researchers—Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahui Yu, and Hongyu Ren—departed OpenAI to join Meta’s superintelligence team, signaling a growing talent war that goes beyond mere technology development. Meta’s approach, which reportedly includes
What once seemed like a minor contractual detail between OpenAI and Microsoft has rapidly escalated into a critical flashpoint that threatens to redefine a landmark tech partnership. Central to this tension is a clause tucked within their agreement that limits Microsoft’s access to OpenAI’s future technology if OpenAI’s board announces the achievement of artificial general
In an era where the fusion of technology and creativity seems inevitable, the term “AI slop” has emerged as a distinguishing factor in the battlefield for quality content. As the world of publishing grapples with the intrusion of artificial intelligence, the phenomenon of AI slop—a term coined to highlight the poor quality, derivative nature of
In recent years, the field of cybersecurity has experienced a paradigm shift as artificial intelligence (AI) models have taken on a more proactive role. Emerging research from UC Berkeley has revealed that these advanced AI systems are not only adept at writing code but are also becoming increasingly proficient at identifying vulnerabilities—particularly in large, open-source
