OpenAI is making a foray into scientific discovery with an AI built to help manufacture stem cells. When you think of AI’s contributions to science, you probably think of AlphaFold, the Google DeepMind protein-folding program that earned its creator a Nobel Prize last year.

OpenAI's o1 'reasoning' model sometimes switches to Chinese and other languages as it reasons through problems, and AI experts don't know exactly why.

Video generation models and software advanced significantly in 2024, a year capped by impressive model updates to Google DeepMind Veo 2, Pika 2.0, Luma AI’s Ray2 and OpenAI’s Sora, which made its long-awaited public release.

Individuals who are using OpenAI have identified a vulnerability. Shortly after OpenAI published o1, its initial "reasoning" AI model, a peculiar behavior was

There's not enough human-generated data to keep AI models improving at the same rate. 2025 will put a new solution to the test.

Google DeepMind is assembling a new team of artificial intelligence researchers to develop “world models” that can simulate physical environments. The initiative will be led by Tim Brooks, a former co-lead for OpenAI’s Sora project who joined DeepMind in October to work on Google’s video generation and world simulators.

DeepMind’s Genie puts the company at the forefront of world model development, but it faces a number of competitors in this area, such as World Labs Technologies Inc ., a startup created by the renowned AI researcher Fei-Fei Lee, as well Odyssey Systems Inc. and Decart.AI Inc.

Google DeepMind is recruiting a new team of artificial intelligence researchers to develop models that "simulate the physical world".

In a memo to employees on Monday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said former Lacework CEO Jay Parikh will lead a new a group focused on AI tools.

Users across various platforms have reported instances where OpenAI's o1 model begins its reasoning process in English but unexpectedly shifts to Chinese, Persian, or other languages

Researchers are identifying current and future dangers within AI models away from the conflicts of interest they’d face in the industry
