Australia's central bank sees early signs that AI is hitting young entry-level workers in highly exposed jobs like software development and customer service. Since ChatGPT launched, job postings and employment among 15- to 24-year-olds in those fields have dropped more sharply than among older workers.
From Apple's repeatedly delayed Siri AI to OpenAI's messy "super app" launch, here's a look at the AI projects that shut down or missed expectations.
Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon points to a slide from Anthropic's IPO roadshow as a reason he left, saying it shows the company's algorithms are improving not just quickly but at an accelerating rate. Coxon continues to call for a pause on frontier model development so competitors can catch up and human-level AI can become a commodity.
On January 6th, 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang got his rockstar moment at last.
AIE speakers unite to lay out how to fight slop.
Airlines praised the AI tool, but the air traffic controllers’ union wasn’t involved.
Former OpenAI researcher Will DePue says he has produced the first technical evidence that DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax, and Ant Group are using Nvidia's latest Blackwell GPUs despite US export controls. His forensic method reads characteristic chip signatures directly from published model weights. He estimates the hardware behind the five training runs cost more than half a billion dollars.
One part of the saga surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ended on Thursday, when Huang resigned from his position at the top of AI's most important company. But in the coming weeks and months, a much bigger story may be about to unfold.
Armed with a team of AI agents, Google researcher Pietro Miotti claimed earlier this week to have discovered a potentially unmapped Maya site in Mexico. There was just one problem: The site had already been discovered and was published in an academic journal last year.
Today, we’re talking about the Jensen Huang scandal at Nvidia, which is developing so quickly that we had to do an emergency update of this intro minutes before publishing this episode.
More video game developers are using generative AI tools in their jobs compared to last year, according to the GDC Festival of Gaming's latest annual industry survey. Forty percent of developers surveyed say they use it "as part of their job," an increase from 36 percent in 2025.
I was certain, until the story of Jensen Huang's second affair hit, that Huang was bulletproof. After all, why wouldn't he be? He's placed himself indispensably at the center of the AI industry and famously had no succession plan at Nvidia. In fact, he's the only CEO Nvidia has ever had. L'état c'est moi.
SoftBank lost over $3 billion preordering natural gas turbines to power AI data centers. Here's what the loss means to power markets.
As soon as Wednesday evening, Nvidia's board could decide to remove its founder and CEO of 33 years.
According to the Ramp AI Index, US corporate AI spending rose just 1.65 percent in October 2026. One percent of companies still drive 80 percent of revenue for OpenAI and Anthropic. Customer support is emerging as a new growth driver, but it may bring lower margins than the coding business that has fueled spending so far.
The data center boom is running into serious real-world obstacles, from widespread local opposition and permitting delays to a scramble for electricity. Before those challenges even come into play, though, there’s a more basic problem: A lot of the projects being announced may never get built in the first place.
Any amount of AI coding is too much for many Independent Games Festival judges.
Security firm Claroc found more than 35,000 Grok-built apps open to anyone without login, including patient data and confidential SpaceXSI documents. The cause: "Anyone with the link" was preselected as the default access setting. SpaceXSI took only its own 24 employee apps offline. The rest remain accessible.
Mathematician Steven Strogatz discusses his new book, Big Math: The Hidden Codes That Run Our World .
Researcher finds 35,000 Grok Build apps wide open to anyone who looked for them.
Some Independent Games Festival (IGF) jurors published a statement yesterday saying they would not vote for games that use generative AI in "any capacity."
PSI used an unreleased Anthropic model to answer a fundamental question about quantum computing that scientists have pursued for nearly two decades.
As espionage targets go, Jensen Huang is perhaps one of the least surprising on Earth. The Nvidia CEO runs one of the world's most valuable companies, controls the in-demand technology fueling the AI boom, and is cozy with presidents, CEOs, and all manner of important people. He also wears a cool leather jacket.
eBay appears to have blocked AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from browsing on the platform - the latest speed bump in the AI agent race.
Ukraine competes with Russia and data centers for China’s optical fiber supply.
At this point, reading through the latest splashy pledge to use AI for the good of the environment feels like downing a nonalcoholic beer. Admittedly, I'm suspicious from the onset. How can this be good?
During Paramount Skydance's latest earnings call, CEO David Ellison said "it's hard to imagine" AI won't have a bigger impact on the film industry than CGI.
This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox first, sign up here. As voters went to the polls across the US last week, I was in Ashburn, Virginia, part of what’s known as Data Center Alley—the world’s largest data center hub.
I would prefer that these people's sex lives were none of my business but I guess we have to talk about Jensen Huang and the National Security Incident. Who could have guessed that the guy who was out here signing titties might not have great judgment about how to behave around women?
Jensen Huang’s alleged affair with a suspected Chinese spy threatens to complicate Nvidia’s lobbying efforts to loosen U.S. chip export restrictions and maintain access to China’s lucrative AI market.
As a California state senator, Scott Wiener authored legislation aimed at curbing the risks of advanced AI. Now, after winning a tight congressional race for former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s open San Francisco seat, he could play a key role in setting federal AI policy.
Consciousness researchers Anil Seth, Ned Block, and Giulio Tononi argue in a Nature commentary that today's AI systems aren't conscious and won't become so on silicon hardware. They consider the assumption that consciousness depends on computation alone "fatally flawed" and warn against granting rights to AI systems.
Turing Award winner Richard Sutton reaffirms that raw compute alone isn't enough for intelligence and that fundamentally new learning methods are needed. Ex-OpenAI researcher Tworek agrees, saying blind transformer scaling "has reward hacked brains of a whole generation of scientists." A growing wave of startups is already betting on exactly this gap.
On Equity, we unpacked what the midterms mean for the tech industry.
Anthropic is using AI to build more powerful AI. And it appears to be working remarkably well, with the company's models improving roughly twice as quickly as a year ago, with little indication of slowing down.
Massive new data centers are the physical foundation for tech companies’ hopes and dreams for AI. But the rush to expand warehouses full of energy-hungry servers has also kicked up fights across the world over their impact on power grids, utility bills, nearby communities, and the environment.
inMusic, the parent company of Akai, Moog, Native Instruments, and more, has decided to embrace the modding community.
On Tuesday, millions of American voters went to the polls and voted overwhelmingly for Democrats and against AI. The fight against Big Tech is about to come roaring back, and the fight over data centers is looking even harder for the folks trying to build them.
When Irene moved to San Francisco last year, she started using dating apps as a way to meet new people, get to know her new city, and connect with others who care about the things she does. After the 25-year-old analyst downloaded Hinge and started swiping, she noticed a trend.
Democrats’ historic victories in this week’s U.S. midterm elections could also transform the tech industry. The public voted on 41 data center-related ballot measures on Tuesday — in all but one, the majority voted to impose more restrictions on data center development.
