What is recursive self-improvement? Recursive self-improvement occurs when AI systems create their own next versions, accelerating development with minimal human intervention. The TasteVal test and its results A new benchmark called TasteVal recently tested AI models’ ability to plan experiments…
Learning to use a new technology often starts small. At first, you run tests, ask simple questions, and get answers that seem surprisingly good. As you practice, it becomes easier to know what to ask, what to check, and when…
The idea seems simple: if a task that used to take an hour can now be done in 20 minutes, you’ve got 40 extra minutes in your day. But the time saved doesn’t always translate into rest outside of work.…
Biohub, a research organization funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, announced on Wednesday, 7, that it is expanding a program aimed at generating biological data for the development of artificial intelligence systems. The project now has a total budget…
On Tuesday, October 6, OpenAI made public a collection of 722 mathematical papers produced by an artificial intelligence model that is not yet available to the public. The documents were published on GitHub, along with materials that allow for the…
The AI assistant Claude, launched by Anthropic in March 2023, bears a name that references pioneer Claude Shannon, although the company has never officially confirmed this connection. Widely accepted in the industry, this choice pays homage to the Bell Labs…
Data reveals lower adoption rates among workers over 45 A survey conducted by the NBER in August 2024, involving over 5,000 Americans aged 18 to 64, found that 34% of professionals under 40 already use generative AI at work, compared…
What studies reveal Recent research by teams from MIT, Stanford, and Harvard shows that AI tools can increase speed, quality, and productivity across a range of professional tasks. These findings illustrate AI’s so-called multiplier effect: when technology takes over part…
While a brief request may suffice for translating a sentence, the situation changes when preparing a summary for a board meeting. Recent research in artificial intelligence sheds light on when adding more details improves the response and when excessive information…
A new AI system called Apollo can fill gaps in millennia-old Greek texts in a matter of hours—a task that previously took specialists years to complete. Developed by the Austrian Archaeological Institute in collaboration with French company Mistral and consultancy…
