By the end of the year, the carbon footprint of global AI systems for the whole of 2025 could equal that of New York City. At the same time, AI’s thirst for water could rival that of the world’s bottled water market, according to new estimates.By the end of the year, the carbon footprint of global AI systems for the whole of 2025 could equal that of New York City.

People and institutions are grappling with the consequences of AI-written text. Teachers want to know whether students’ work reflects their own understanding; consumers want to know whether an advertisement was written by a human or a machine.People and institutions are grappling with the consequences of AI-written text.

Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated “personality test” framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their “personality” can be reliably tested and precisely shaped—raising implications for AI safety and ethics.Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated “personality test” framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their “personality” can be reliably tested and precisely shaped—raising implications for AI safety and ethics.Security[#item_full_content]

A University of Cambridge philosopher argues that our evidence for what constitutes consciousness is far too limited to tell if or when artificial intelligence has made the leap—and a valid test for doing so will remain out of reach for the foreseeable future.A University of Cambridge philosopher argues that our evidence for what constitutes consciousness is far too limited to tell if or when artificial intelligence has made the leap—and a valid test for doing so will remain out of reach for the foreseeable future.Business[#item_full_content]
Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, “The cat sat on the box,” is not the same as “The box was on the cat.” Over a long text, like a financial document or a novel, the syntax of these words likely evolves.Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning.
