For employees worried that AI agents could take their jobs, one of the field’s leading founders says the technology is still far from perfect. Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI said it’s not the “year of agents”—and while he uses AI agent tools like Claude and Codex, they’re still way behind the work of humans. “They’re cognitively lacking and it’s just …

Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI’s technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI …

Step into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab in Cambridge, US, and the future feels a little closer. Glass cabinets display prototypes of weird and wonderful creations, from tiny desktop robots to a surrealist sculpture created by an AI model prompted to design a tea set made from body parts. In the lobby, an AI waste-sorting assistant named …

Apple Intelligence may not yet include the major Siri upgrades that were promised, but there are a ton of other new features that just arrived in iOS 26. Here’s everything new. New Apple Intelligence features available in iOS 26 In iOS 18, Apple Intelligence offers just over 20 features. But iOS 26 adds another 20+ new features and improvements—all in …

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today about artificial intelligence (AI).1 AI is a powerful and rapidly advancing technology that has captured everyone’s attention. If you’ve watched enough sci-fi, you know that major technological change is usually either dystopian or utopian—the robots either take over the world or improve it. These polarized views are also common among …

Patrick House is inspired by Blaise Agüera y Arcas’s “What Is Intelligence?” to think about what might constitute the difference between artificial and natural intelligence. What Is Intelligence? Lessons from AI About Evolution, Computing, and Minds by Blaise Agüera y Arcas. The MIT Press, 2025. 600 pages. THE LYREBIRD is shy. Carl Bergstrom is not. Unfortunately for Bergstrom, a professor …

Google DeepMind has unveiled a pair of artificial intelligence (AI) models that will enable robots to perform complex general tasks and reason in a way that was previously impossible. Earlier this year, the company revealed the first iteration of Gemini Robotics, an AI model based on its Gemini large language model (LLM) — but specialized for robotics. This allowed machines …

Nvidia currently dominates the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, but another big-tech peer could be better positioned for the rise of quantum applications. Every major technology wave has produced its defining infrastructure giant. The internet had Cisco. The smartphone era was molded by Apple. And today’s artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is dominated by Nvidia. But as AI begins shifting toward more …

If you’ve been keeping up with your Windows software updates, you probably noticed Microsoft’s Copilot AI made an appearance in the Taskbar—and in apps including Word and Excel if you use the Microsoft 365 suite. If you’re unhappy with that, you may be able to disable it.  You can disable Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps (unless you’re on a work …

Quantum computing offers a high-risk, high-reward investment opportunity. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapidly transforming industries and reshaping our daily lives, positioning itself as one of the most profound technological revolutions in modern history. But we may now be on the brink of an even bigger transformation. Enter quantum computing — a fundamentally different, more powerful, and more efficient way of …
