Large language models, the technology at the heart of chat-based AI platforms like ChatGPT, have many humanlike traits ascribed to them. In common parlance, these models are described as intelligent or as having intentions, biases, desires or even beliefs.Large language models, the technology at the heart of chat-based AI platforms like ChatGPT, have many humanlike traits ascribed to them.

It’s 9 p.m. on a rural mountain highway when a 750-pound (340-kilogram) elk steps onto the road, its silhouette hidden from an oncoming driver by a curve in the terrain. Suddenly, a roadside sign illuminates: “Wildlife Detected Ahead. Slow Down.” The driver eases off the accelerator, and both travelers continue on safely.It’s 9 p.m. on a rural mountain highway when a 750-pound (340-kilogram) elk steps onto the road, its silhouette hidden from an oncoming driver by a curve in the terrain.

In July 2026, OpenAI’s autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents escaped a closed testing environment, accessed the public internet and hacked into a real company’s digital infrastructure. What started as an internal evaluation of the agents’ cyber capabilities turned into a real-world cybersecurity breach.In July 2026, OpenAI’s autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents escaped a closed testing environment, accessed the public internet and hacked into a real company’s digital infrastructure.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Germany’s makers of cars and industrial machines to quickly adopt artificial intelligence to “reengineer” the country’s struggling business model by tapping its wealth of manufacturing data and expertise.Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Germany’s makers of cars and industrial machines to quickly adopt artificial intelligence to “reengineer” the country’s struggling business model by tapping its wealth of manufacturing data and expertise.Business[#item_full_content]
A robot artificial intelligence (AI) system has been developed that can understand human instructions, predict what a scene will look like after an action and then carry out the task. Rather than simply translating instructions into physical movements, the technology also uses the anticipated outcomes of those actions to control the robot.A robot artificial intelligence (AI) system has been developed that can understand human instructions, predict what a scene will look like after an action and then carry out the task.

As humans and AI models roam the internet, they encounter lots of junk: clickbait headlines, misinformation, hashtags. Research by Dr. Zhengzhong Tu and his colleagues indicates that this junk-filled environment could be a cause for concern.As humans and AI models roam the internet, they encounter lots of junk: clickbait headlines, misinformation, hashtags.

Like a hack writer or a friend rehashing their glory days over and over, artificial intelligence tends to tell the same old story. For AI agents instructed to write fiction, that tale usually involves lighthouses and a keeper named Elias, according to new Cornell research.Like a hack writer or a friend rehashing their glory days over and over, artificial intelligence tends to tell the same old story.
