Open AI

Emerging startup Physical Intelligence has no interest in building robots. Instead, the team is powering the hardware with a foundational model AI 'brain', that enables existing machines to learn and dextrously perform many tasks – including housework.

Imagine your local nuclear plant is a zero-emissions cozy community center. Oklo’s Aurora microreactor could make this vision a reality – delivering clean power to remote areas with a "fire-and-forget" reactor that runs 20 years without refueling.

It was a day like any other until the text asking "Have you seen this yet?" and a link to YouTube. Seconds later, former President Barack Obama is on screen delivering a speech in which he proclaims Donald Trump "is a total and complete [expletive]."

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.

OpenAI's latest game-changing AI release has dropped. The new o1 model, now available in ChatGPT, now 'thinks' before it responds – and it's starting to crush both previous models and Ph.D-holding humans at solving expert-level problems.

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.

Pixel art uses small blocky details to make a larger image. Proving there’s nothing blockier than Lego, a YouTuber has created the Pixelbot 3000. Made entirely of Lego parts, the bot ‘prints’ pixel art using input from an AI image generator.

This AI assistant promises to do a lot more than just chat. Give it a task, and it'll take over your mouse and your Web browser, work out a plan, and power through the job step-by-step – from booking a hotel to starting and running a business.

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.

Though OpenAI is yet to make the Sora text-to-video model available to the public, its ability to produce realistic, high-res video clips already has movie makers worried for job security. Now the tool has moved into the world of pop music videos.

Stand back and take a look at the last two years of AI progress as a whole... A new report shows how AI is catching up with humans so quickly, in so many areas, that frankly, we're going to need new tests.

OpenAI has asked creatives to produce their own short films using text-to-video model Sora. The public's response has been a mixture of awe and fear about the potential uses of this technology and the real-world impact it may have.
