These newer models appear more likely to indulge in rule-bending behaviors than previous generations—and there’s no way to stop them. Stephanie Arnett/MIT Technology Review | Adobe Stock, Envato Facing defeat in chess, the latest generation of AI reasoning models sometimes cheat without being instructed to do so. The finding suggests that the next wave of

Generative AI is built on three key resources: people, compute and data. While companies invest heavily in the first two, they often use unlicensed creative work as training data without permission or payment — a practice that pits AI against the very creators it relies on. AI expert Ed Newton-Rex has a solution: licensing. He

Open source software has a number of benefits over commercial products, not least the fact that it can be downloaded for free. This means anyone can analyse the code and, assuming they have the right hardware and software environment configured, they can start using the open source code immediately. With artificial intelligence (AI), there are

It’s tricky to get robots to do things in environments they’ve never seen before. Typically, researchers need to train them on new data for every new place they encounter, which can become very time-consuming and expensive. Now researchers have developed a series of AI models that teach robots to complete basic tasks in new surroundings……
