Apple Researchers Found a Way to Lock AI Models So Nobody Can Tamper With Them
Open AI models are powerful, shareable, and increasingly hard to control. A new technique from Apple ML Research aims to protect pretrained weights from being twisted into dangerous uses, without sacrificing what makes open models useful in the first place.
Apple Researchers Find a Hidden Glitch That Can Quietly Corrupt AI-Generated Images
A small number of rogue data points, called outlier tokens, can throw off the systems that create AI images. New research explains what they are and how to fix them.
Four of Google's Most Celebrated AI Scientists Are Leaving to Build a Machine That Does Science Itself
Jeff Dean, the engineer behind Google's search infrastructure and its Gemini AI model, is co-founding Discovery Loop, a startup whose goal is to run thousands of automated experiments and out-invent the world's largest research labs.
Microsoft's Orchard framework lets small AI agents punch well above their weight
A new open-source toolkit from Microsoft Research trains AI agents that can fix code, browse the web, and manage tasks, using models far smaller than today's frontier giants.
AI-written short stories rated higher quality than human ones in new study
A study of 1,682 adults found that stories written by ChatGPT scored better on quality than comparable human-authored work. Researchers think simpler, cleaner writing may be driving the result.
The US just banned foreign robots. That could backfire on American robotics research.
The FTC's sweeping import ban on Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots is meant to protect a US industry that barely exists yet. The problem: American researchers depend on those cheap Chinese machines to build the next generation of AI.
Why AI Image Models Still Make Things Up, and What Apple's Researchers Are Doing About It
A new study from Apple ML Research digs into why multimodal AI models hallucinate, meaning they describe images with confident-sounding details that simply are not there, and how a training technique called preference alignment could fix it.
Chinese AI Researchers Are Moving to X, and It Is Changing How the West Reads China's AI Boom
Dozens of scientists from labs like Moonshot AI and DeepSeek now post regularly on X, filling a gap left by increasingly tight-lipped Western counterparts at OpenAI and Anthropic.
Robots That Know When to Be Gentle: Apple's MoMo Teaches Machines to Adjust Their Own Movement Style
A new research framework lets a single robot learn to move quickly, carefully, or anywhere in between, without being reprogrammed each time.
This AI Skips the Maths. It Could Run on a Band-Aid.
A University of Texas engineer says neural networks built on lookup tables instead of multiplication could cut AI energy use by 1,000 times, and fit on chips so small they flex like plastic.
Can AI crack the ancient writing systems that stumped linguists for a century?
Two of history's most mysterious scripts, Linear A and Etruscan, have resisted every attempt at translation. Researchers are now asking whether AI can succeed where humans alone have not.
Google studied 15 million real AI interactions and found workers aren't automating themselves out of a job
A new Google Research paper looked at how people actually use Gemini at work. The headline finding: AI helps with pieces of tasks, but end-to-end job replacement is rare.
Every major AI model leans left on politics, even Grok, half the time
A small research lab ran 16 leading AI models through a well-known political quiz thousands of times. All but one landed consistently in the libertarian-left zone. The one exception was Elon Musk's Grok, which couldn't make up its mind.
Safe Superintelligence and Nvidia Strike a Multi-Billion Dollar Partnership to Scale AI Safety Research
Ilya Sutskever's secretive AI lab is coming out of two years of quiet work with a major compute deal, access to Nvidia's newest chips, and a valuation of $32 billion.
South Korea and NVIDIA Open a Joint AI Lab and Deepen Tech Ties at San Francisco Summit
A new research lab at one of Asia's top universities, a memory chip deal, and plans for AI infrastructure signal South Korea's push to become a serious player in global AI.
