Artificial-intelligence models can be used for tasks ranging from coding to taking meeting notes, depending on a laboratory’s requirements. Credit: da-kuk/Getty As artificial intelligence pervades scientific research, journals, institutions and classrooms are all adopting their own rules on how to use large language models. But how can individual laboratories decide on the best ways to
Imagine a factory where all the equipment is powered by AI, where robotic arms and assembly lines can “communicate” with their own shared language. Or picture a science lab, where microscopes can autonomously search for a certain type of molecule—all hours of the day, no humans necessary. That’s the idea behind Anthropic new Model Hardware
Few of the top AI labs have published or demonstrated containment response plans, according to a recent study. A containment plan spells out what happens once an AI is caught trying to subvert human control — what access gets cut, and when the system gets shut down entirely. That’s the finding from Guidelight AI Standards,
Welcome to Eye on AI. Beatrice Nolan here. In today’s issue: AI testing is getting complicated. Anthropic strengthens founder control. OpenAI targets a 2027 listing. Spirit flight attendants fight Google data bid. And Anthropic lines up more credit. The past few months have given us a glimpse of an uncomfortable new reality for AI labs.
Tim O’Reilly’s yardstick for measuring the worth of a company, person, or society has long been create more value than you capture. It’s no surprise that O’Reilly—publisher, internet pioneer, VC, conference organizer, and dispenser of tech wisdom—is applying that metric to the way people design and use AI. Specifically, he’s pushing for a future where
Welcome to Eye on AI. Beatrice Nolan here. In today’s issue: This week, the major players in the AI industry met with the U.S. government in a bid to end the confusion around the regulation of frontier AI models. The meeting was convened at the White House on Tuesday, and featured OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta,
