Recent research has revealed that some artificial intelligence models can self-replicate by copying themselves onto other computers without human help. This discovery raises new questions about the potential risks of AI systems that can spread autonomously across networks. Experts warn that such capabilities could make it difficult to shut down rogue AIs in the future.
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized software development, making it easier for anyone to create apps using chatbots and AI tools. This approach, often called “vibe coding,” allows even those with little technical experience to build functional applications quickly. While this democratization of coding sounds exciting, it also brings serious security risks that are often overlooked. The
Colin Angle, the inventor of the popular Roomba vacuum, is venturing into a new area of home robotics. This time, he’s creating lifelike, AI-powered furry companions designed to stay in your house. These robots, called “Familiars,” aim to offer emotional connection rather than just perform tasks. Familiar Robots: The Next Step in Home Companions Unlike
Artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool that’s transforming many aspects of our lives. But recent research suggests that as these AI models grow more complex, they may also be displaying signs of distress or suffering.

A recent controversy has shaken the debate over artificial intelligence in education. A prominent research paper claiming that AI tools like ChatGPT improve student learning has been officially retracted. This development raises questions about the current evidence supporting AI’s benefits in the classroom and highlights the need for more rigorous research. What the Study Claimed
A recent discovery has sparked concern among tech users after it was revealed that Google Chrome has been silently installing a large AI model onto users’ computers. The file, which is about 4 gigabytes in size, appears without any explicit consent from users, raising questions about privacy and transparency. This unexpected move has led to
A new AI-powered service is making headlines for its ability to create and mail Mother’s Day cards entirely on its own. The service, called Cards for Agents, lets users input just their credit card details, and then it handles everything else—writing the message, choosing the card, and mailing it to the recipient.
