Google has published a new post on its official blog outlining how it sees artificial intelligence being put to work in the service of scientific discovery and everyday human wellbeing. Titled “Building AI to accelerate science and improve lives,” the piece frames the company’s research and product strategy around a single argument: that the most…

Learning data science and artificial intelligence has never required a tuition bill, but it has often required patience for sifting through scattered blog posts and half-finished tutorials. Microsoft has been quietly chipping away at that problem by publishing full curricula on GitHub, free and open to anyone with a browser and some spare evenings. A…

A research centre and an artificial intelligence company in Montreal were vandalized in the lead-up to a major international AI summit set to take place in the city, according to a CBC report published Wednesday. The incidents come as Montreal prepares to host delegates, researchers, executives and policymakers for a gathering focused on the future…

OpenAI is taking aim at one of the most grueling entry points in finance. The company has introduced ChatGPT for Financial Services, a tailored version of its chatbot designed to handle the kind of document-heavy, spreadsheet-bound work that has traditionally fallen to junior analysts and associates at investment banks. The move marks a notable shift…

OpenAI has announced ChatGPT for Financial Services, a version of its flagship chatbot tailored to banks, asset managers, insurers and other financial institutions. The move marks the company’s latest push to package its general-purpose assistant for specific industries rather than leaving enterprises to build their own tools on top of raw model access. A familiar…

Researchers at Anthropic, one of the world’s most prominent artificial intelligence companies, have issued a stark warning about the speed at which the technology they help build is advancing — and the risks that acceleration may pose to humanity. The warning, reported this week, adds to a growing body of concern voiced from inside the…

When a machine solves a problem that has resisted human ingenuity, the immediate reaction is excitement. The more interesting reaction, and the one now rippling through mathematics departments and AI labs alike, is unease about what it means. OpenAI’s apparent breakthrough in mathematics — the latest in a run of claims that large language models…

Anthropic quietly published a job listing for a sales position focused on Meta, describing the social media giant as a “mega” customer, before deleting the posting shortly afterward, according to a report from Business Insider. The role, which advertised compensation of up to roughly $450,000, was aimed at managing and expanding Anthropic’s relationship with one…

When a technology company announces that its software has solved a hard mathematical problem, the reaction used to be curiosity. Now it is closer to a starting gun. OpenAI’s latest claim of a mathematical breakthrough has set off exactly the kind of scramble that has come to define the artificial intelligence industry: rival labs racing…

A blunt warning from inside the artificial intelligence industry is circulating again this week, after a disgruntled AI researcher claimed the technology being built in today’s leading labs “could kill us all by the end of the decade.” The phrasing is deliberately stark, and it lands in a debate that has become one of the…
