ATLANTA — Using AI applications to create obscene, computer-generated images of real people could soon become a serious crime in Georgia. State senators on Monday considered a proposal to create the crime of “virtual staring” by using artificial intelligence to virtually undress people. The technology would have been considered science fiction several years ago, but…
Executives like David Solomon of Goldman Sachs say experience trumps everything in business, including brains. But Ricardo Amper, founder and CEO of the $1.25 billion software company Incode Technologies, believes Gen Z’s naivety is a professional blessing rather than a career curse. “My belief [is] that it is important to come out with a fresh…

A joint essay with Daniel Thilo Schroeder and Jonas R. Kunst, based on a new paper on swarms with 22 authors (including myself) who just published in Science. (A preprinted version is hereand you can see WIRED’s coverage here.) Automated bots spreading misinformation have been a problem since the early days of social media, and…
Wisconsin universities embrace AI Wisconsin universities are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and planning to expand its use across all 13 universities. MADISON (WKOW) — Wisconsin universities are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and plan to expand its use across all 13 universities. Whether it’s using AI to answer homework questions or brainstorm ideas,…
AI chip stocks still have plenty of upside from here. The biggest driving force in the market remains artificial intelligence (AI), which is why now may be a great time to acquire shares in some of the biggest companies in the industry. Let’s look at three AI stocks to buy now. Nvidia The AI infrastructure…
In other news justifying neurosymbolic AI and global models, after Strong statements from Demis Hassabis yesterdayYann LeCun, historically hostile to symbolic approaches, has just joined what looks like a neurosymbolic AI company focused on reasoning and models of the world, apparently built on roughly the same type of plan as presented in 2020. Here’s the…
A study by UC Riverside researchers offers a practical solution to one of artificial intelligence’s toughest challenges by enabling AI systems to reason more like humans, without requiring new training data beyond testing questions. In a preprint paper entitled “Test-Time Matching: Unlocking Compositional Reasoning in Multimodal Models”, assistant professor Yinglun Zhu and students introduce a…
The AI arms race is expected to continue well beyond 2026. Spending on artificial intelligence (AI) is not expected to slow down anytime soon, much less in 2026. AI hyperscalers have all informed investors that they expect data center spending to increase in 2026. As a result, several companies currently look promising. I think these…
Figure 1. Ralph Wiggum has recently been the talk of the AI coding developer community, as Vivek on X explains. The “Ralph loop” in Claude Code adds a “verify and try again” loop to agentic coding tasks. Many users found it remarkably useful for completing some agentic coding tasks, so the method has gone viral….
