Spooked by Mythos, Trump suddenly realized AI safety testing might be good

This week, the Trump administration back pedaled and signed agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to run government safety checks on the firms’ frontier AI models before and after their release. Previously, Donald Trump had stubbornly cast aside the Biden-era policy, dismissing the need for voluntary safety checks as overregulation blocking unbridled innovation. Soon […]

Robot dogs now read gauges and thermometers using Google Gemini

Robots such as Boston Dynamic’s four-legged Spot can now accurately read analog thermometers and pressure gauges while roaming around factories and warehouses. Those improvements come courtesy of Google DeepMind’s newest robotic AI model that aims to enhance robotic capabilities for ‘embodied reasoning’ when interacting with physical environments. The new Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 model announced on

Yann LeCun, Demis Hassabis Clash Over What ‘General Intelligence’ Means

A public disagreement between AI researchers Yann LeCun and Demis Hassabis has reopened a long-running debate on whether human intelligence can be described as “general”. In a recent podcast appearance, LeCun said the idea of general intelligence, when used to mean human-level intelligence, is flawed.  LeCun argues that “there is no such thing as general
