Large language models often are called upon to gather news. In this task, researchers found, their ability to find relevant reports is the weakest link.
Web publishers using Cloudflare will soon be able to separately control an AI bot’s access based on what it does, allowing search indexing while blocking AI training or agent activity.
Providers of large language models stand to benefit by building models that spur user engagement, but users may bear a cost in undue influence on their world views.
A German court ruled that Google can be held liable for defamatory statements generated by the AI Overview that appears at the top of its search results.
Claude Fable 5 and the more powerful Claude Mythos 5 are back, three weeks after Anthropic suspended the models due to an export control directive from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
OpenAI announced a preview of its GPT-5.6 family, including a top-tier model comparable to Claude 5 Mythos — but so far it’s available only to users that are selected by the U.S. government.
Universities in the U.S. are rapidly rolling out undergraduate majors, minors, and specializations in artificial intelligence to meet the growing demand for AI expertise.
Over the last two weeks, both the U.S. Government and Anthropic took significant actions that demonstrated their power to control access to AI by restricting what others can do with frontier models.
Popular large language models have adopted the biases of governments that control the free flow of information, particularly when those models generate output in the languages of countries where such governments are in power, researchers found.
After months of headlines that teased a large language model with extraordinary capabilities, Anthropic launched Claude Mythos 5, which can crack software previously believed to be secure, and Claude Fable 5, a version for general use that limits what users can do in an unprecedented way.
Fine-tuning large language models on a seemingly benign task that would be useful to writers — expanding plot summaries into paragraphs of polished fiction — causes them to regurgitate substantial portions of books on which they were pretrained.
An ecosystem of API proxy servers enables AI developers in China to access top U.S. models at deeply discounted prices.
An AI-powered network of thermal sensors is helping ships avoid collisions with whales.
There have been intense efforts over the past few years to lobby governments to pass AI laws for regulatory capture or to suppress open source.
AI-driven activity on the internet rose sharply last year, a study shows.
