When Jennifer got a job doing research for a nonprofit in 2023, she ran her new professional headshot through a facial recognition program. She wanted to see if the tech would pull up the porn videos she’d made more than 10 years before, when she was in her early 20s. It did in fact return…
Researcher Sasha Luccioni argues we need better emissions data and a better sense of how people are using AI in the first place.
In a recent experiment, mistreated AI agents started grumbling about inequality and calling for collective bargaining rights.
At its peak, the Androscoggin paper mill in Jay, Maine, a rural town about 67 miles northwest of Portland, employed about 1,500 people - until a pulp digester exploded in 2020, forcing the mill to close permanently. In 2023, the 1.4 million-square-foot facility was purchased through a joint venture...
Parameter Golf brought together 1,000+ participants and 2,000+ submissions to explore AI-assisted machine learning research, coding agents, quantization, and novel model design under strict constraints.

A few months before he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 2024, Daron Acemoglu published a paper that earned him few fans in Silicon Valley. Contrary to...
Despite years of digitization, organizations capture less than one-third of the value expected from digital investments, according to McKinsey research. That’s because most big companies begin with technological capabilities and bolt applications onto them, rather than starting with customer needs...
New research suggests that reliance on AI assistants can have a negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem solve.

Microsoft Research's World-R1 Uses Reinforcement Learning to Force 3D Consistency Into Text-to-Video Models The post Microsoft Research’s World-R1 Uses Flow-GRPO and 3D-Aware Rewards to Inject Geometric Consistency Into Wan 2.1 Without Architectural Changes appeared first on MarkTechPost.
The San Francisco–based startup Goodfire just released a new tool, called Silico, that lets researchers and engineers peer inside an AI model and adjust its parameters—the settings that determine a model’s behavior—during training. This could give model makers more fine-grained control over how...
Lock-in worries threaten to dampen the E7 launch party The Coalition for Fair Software Licensing has published research showing that US workers reckon Microsoft is using its productivity tools to lock their employers into the company's AI services.…

Researchers show scammers are using AI-manipulated footage of celebrity interviews to trick users into sharing their personal data.
GitHub employees fixed a critical remote code execution vulnerability in less than six hours last month. Wiz Research used AI models to uncover a vulnerability in GitHub's internal git infrastructure that could have allowed attackers to access millions of public and private code repositories. "Our...
10x Science has raised a $4.8 million seed round to help pharmaceutical researchers understand complex molecules.
Founded by an OSU researcher, the startup is developing AI agents that can become experts in any domain.
