Every technological revolution produces its own civil war. For artificial intelligence, the fight is not primarily between companies competing for market share, or even between nations racing for computational supremacy. It is between two camps of people who largely agree that the technology they are building will reshape the world — and who cannot agree…

President Donald Trump has launched a new artificial intelligence service, pairing the announcement with a pledge that his administration will not stand in the way of the technology’s rapid expansion. “I will never stifle the growth of technology,” the president declared, according to reporting by Sky News, framing the launch as part of a broader…

When an artificial intelligence company says its model has made a scientific discovery, the claim lands in a strange gray zone. It is thrilling if true, and difficult to evaluate either way. That is the question now circling Anthropic, the A.I. lab behind the Claude family of models, after suggestions that its system produced a…

For generations, parental anxiety has followed a familiar script: Is the car seat installed correctly? Are they eating enough vegetables? Will they get into a decent school? But a growing number of parents say a stranger, harder-to-name worry has moved into the back of their minds — one that no checklist can address. They are…

Some of the most influential figures in modern artificial intelligence have issued a fresh warning about the possibility of a runaway “intelligence explosion” u2014 a scenario in which AI systems become capable of improving themselves faster than humans can understand or control. The warning, reported by the Guardian, comes from researchers often described as the…

OpenAI has cancelled the planned release of a new artificial intelligence model after problems emerged during internal safety testing, according to a report published by the Guardian. The decision marks a rare public example of a leading AI developer halting a product at a late stage of development on safety grounds. While companies routinely delay…

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than the institutions built to oversee it. That gap — between the pace of technological change and the pace of lawmaking — has become one of the defining governance problems of the decade, and by most accounts it is widening rather than closing. The basic dynamic is not new. Regulators…

It has become one of the defining questions of the decade, posed in congressional hearings, dinner-table arguments and late-night scrolling sessions alike: could artificial intelligence actually destroy humanity? The question sounds like science fiction, and for most of the past century that is exactly where it lived. But as AI systems have grown more capable…

Australian PM Says OpenAI Agent ‘Infiltrated’ Government Website Australia’s prime minister has said an artificial intelligence agent built on OpenAI technology “infiltrated” a government website, according to reporting by the BBC — a claim that has thrust questions about autonomous AI systems and public-sector cyber security into the political spotlight. The prime minister’s characterisation, made…

Tech Leaders Ask the UN to Rein In the AI They Built In one of the more unusual appeals in the history of modern industry, a group of technology executives and researchers has turned to the United Nations with a request that sounds almost like a confession: please regulate the artificial intelligence systems we created.…
