Open AI

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.

A month ago, we were impressed by these robots being able to pick things up, put them in the right spot, open doors and charge themselves. But new video released hours ago makes it clear that autonomous humanoid work is starting to accelerate like mad.

Figure has demonstrated the first fruit of its collaboration with OpenAI to enhance the capabilities of humanoid robots. In a video released today, the Figure 01 bot is seen conversing in real-time.

AI-generated video was a complete joke less than a year ago; look what it can do now. OpenAI has announced its new Sora model, which turns descriptive text into video, and calling it a frighteningly massive leap forward feels like an understatement.

"The video contains no teleoperation," says Norwegian humanoid robot maker 1X. "No computer graphics, no cuts, no video speedups, no scripted trajectory playback. It's all controlled via neural networks, all autonomous, all 1X speed."

After five days of turmoil at OpenAI following the firing of CEO Sam Altman, and much support from investors and employees, the company has confirmed that he is returning as Chief Executive, together with a board reshuffle.

As the wild standoff between three of OpenAI's four board members and 95% of the company's entire workforce drags on, messy allegations are starting to fly in both directions. So who are these directors, and why did they fire CEO Sam Altman?

One of the world's most important companies seems set to implode and lose its entire team, after a bizarre chain of events beginning with the unexplained sacking of CEO Sam Altman. The future of AI – and maybe humanity itself – swings in the balance.

Elon Musk, who cofounded OpenAI but walked away from the company in 2018, has finally rolled out his long-threatened xAI chatbot to some US X users. The sassy, snarky Grok, like much of what Musk touches, has people equally excited and concerned.

While AI systems amaze and alarm the world in equal measure, they’re about to get even more powerful. Nvidia has announced a new class of supercomputer that will train the next generation of AI models, and put us all out of work far faster.

It's too late to close the barn door, as the AI horse has already bolted. Now, experts are calling for urgent guidelines to regulate the use of the tech in healthcare, coinciding with OpenAI's founder urging for AI laws in order to protect humanity.
