New glowing molecule, invented by AI, would have taken 500 million years to evolve in nature, scientists say
An artificial intelligence model has created a new protein that researchers say would have taken 500 million years to evolve in nature — if nature were capable of producing such a thing.
Scientists propose making AI suffer to see if it's sentient
A new study shows that large language models make trade-offs to avoid pain, with possible implications for future AI welfare.
Chinese researchers just built an open-source rival to ChatGPT in 2 months. Silicon Valley is freaked out.
DeepSeek-R1, a new reasoning model made by Chinese researchers, completes tasks with a comparable proficiency to OpenAI's o1 at a fraction of the cost.
AI can now replicate itself — a milestone that has experts terrified
Scientists say AI has crossed a critical 'red line' after demonstrating how two popular large language models could clone themselves.
AI could crack unsolvable problems — and humans won't be able to understand the results
AI promises to accelerate scientific discovery, but if scientists aren't careful public trust may be left behind.
Just 2 hours is all it takes for AI agents to replicate your personality with 85% accuracy
Researchers from Google and Stanford have created accurate AI replicas of more than 1,000 people.
AI could shrink our brains, evolutionary biologist predicts
Evolution could alter or even eliminate some of the human traits we cherish most, changing forever what it means to be human.
Large language models can be squeezed onto your phone — rather than needing 1000s of servers to run — after breakthrough
Running massive AI models locally on smartphones or laptops may be possible after a new compression algorithm trims down their size — meaning your data never leaves your device. The catch is that it might drain your battery in an hour.
