In a striking leap toward safer self-driving cars, researchers at Texas A&M University College of Engineering and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called OmniPredict.In a striking leap toward safer self-driving cars, researchers at Texas A&M University College of Engineering and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called OmniPredict.Automotive[#item_full_content]

As OpenAI marks its tenth birthday in December 2025, it can celebrate becoming one of the world’s leading companies, worth perhaps as much as US$1 trillion (£750 billion). But it started as a non-profit with a serious moral mission—and its story demonstrates the difficulty of combining morality with capitalism.As OpenAI marks its tenth birthday in December 2025, it can celebrate becoming one of the world’s leading companies, worth perhaps as much as US$1 trillion (£750 billion).

Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes. In fact, MIT researchers have developed a speech-to-reality system, an AI-driven workflow that allows them to provide input to a robotic arm and “speak objects into existence,” creating things like furniture in as little as five minutes.Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes.

Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can “overfit” even random, structureless data. Yet when trained on datasets with structure, they learn the underlying features.Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can “overfit” even random, structureless data.
