Poisoning is a term commonly linked to the human body and the natural world. However, it’s becoming an increasing concern in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), especially for large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. A recent study by the UK AI Security Institute, the Alan Turing Institute, and Anthropic, published earlier this month, […]

Empathy isn’t merely a desirable soft skill—it’s a fundamental part of how both children and adults manage emotions, form relationships, and learn from each other. Between ages 6 and 9, children start moving away from self-centered thinking and begin to recognize other people’s feelings and viewpoints. This stage of early childhood is a critical time

When technology malfunctions—like a frozen computer at a crucial moment, a GPS guiding us into traffic, or a washing machine halting mid-cycle—our initial response is usually frustration. These common annoyances often spark irritation. However, a recent study by two Israeli researchers suggests a surprising insight: we tend to extend forgiveness to machines in much the

Amid widespread conflict and division in the news, a UCLA study reveals striking parallels in how mice and AI systems learn to cooperate by pursuing common goals. The results, published in Science, show that both biological brains and AI neural networks independently arrived at similar strategies and neural patterns when working together—pointing to universal principles

Meta introduced several products at yesterday’s Connect event, but the spotlight was on two: the Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses and a surprise accessory called the Neural Band. The glasses mark the official debut of the long-rumored “Hypernova” project—Meta’s attempt at mainstream, easy-to-use smart glasses with a built-in display. More precisely, a display. The Display glasses

A study examining three widely used AI chatbots found that while they typically avoid addressing the most dangerous questions, such as requests for explicit how-to instructions, their responses to less severe but still potentially harmful prompts remain inconsistent. Study Flags Need for Improvements in Leading AI Chatbots A study published Tuesday in the medical journal

The earliest robot I recall is Rosie from The Jetsons, followed not long after by the polished C-3PO and his loyal partner R2-D2 in The Empire Strikes Back. My first encounter with a bodiless AI, however, was Joshua from WarGames—the computer that nearly triggered nuclear war before discovering the logic of mutually assured destruction and
