Three of America's leading AI companies have now signed up to share their technology with the US defence forces and military contractors, even after initially insisting they wouldn't – and the age of autonomous warfare seems close at hand.

Generative AI systems need to be fed huge amounts of often copyrighted data. Musicians could soon fight back with HarmonyCloak, a system that embeds data into songs that can’t be picked up by human ears but will scramble AI trying to reproduce it.

The next wave of game-changing AI models will soon be upon us – "agent" style models that'll be able to take over entire ongoing tasks and jobs with full autonomy. Anthropic's newest AI model gives us a sneak peek, by taking over your whole computer.

The first statistically significant results are in: not only can Large Language Model (LLM) AIs generate new expert-level scientific research ideas, but their ideas are more original and exciting than the best of ours – as judged by human experts.

With ChatGPT being used colloquially to represent nearly everything AI, lesser-known Chat AI models like Claude are sometimes overlooked. Today, Anthropic has released Claude Sonnet 3.5 with some features you'll likely find not only impressive but incredibly useful.

Figuring out how AI models "think" may be crucial to the survival of humanity – but until recently, AIs like GPT and Claude have been total mysteries to their creators. Now, researchers say they can find – and even alter – ideas in an AI's brain.
