Artificial intelligence might be booming on paper, but in the real world, there are signs of a major slowdown. In their latest biweekly survey of AI adoption, the US Census Bureau found evidence of an obvious drop-off in corporate AI use — the largest since the survey began in November of 2023.

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it’s not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don’t use the technology.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about Python in the enterprise: The language is easy; the ecosystem is not. Most developers can write readable Python by week two. What derails them—and therefore your schedules—is everything around the language: the project scaffolding, packaging, imports, testing, and the data stack where Python earns its keep. All these issues were

For all its popularity and success, SQL is a study in paradox. It can be clunky and verbose, yet for developers, it is often the simplest, most direct way to extract the data we want. It can be lightning quick when a query is written correctly, and slow as molasses when the query misses the

In the frenetic world of artificial intelligence, virtual companions have exploded into a market all their own. A recent survey found that some 72 percent of teens said they’ve experimented with artificial buddies. Of those, over 50 percent say they have a regular relationship with the chatbots. But there’s no guarantee those companions will stick
