Imagine you meet someone new. Be it on a dating app or social media, you chance across each other online and get to talking. They’re genuine and relatable, so you quickly take it out of the DMs to a platform like Telegram or WhatsApp. You exchange photos and even video call each over. You start…
Apple continued its slow-and-steady approach to integrating artificial intelligence into devices like the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch on Monday, announcing a raft of new features and upgrades at WWDC. The company also premiered the Foundation Models framework, a way for developers to write code that taps into Apple’s AI models. Among the buzzier AI…
However, it’s fair to say that Apple and even Amazon’s Alexa have had a cultural cachet that Google Assistant never enjoyed.

Michał is part of Google Research, which has been working with collaborators at HHMI Janelia and Harvard University to build one of the most ambitious datasets in brain activity research yet: a dataset that tracks both the neural activity and…
Voice AI is transforming how we interact with technology, making conversational interactions more natural and intuitive than ever before. At the same time, AI agents are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of understanding complex queries and taking autonomous actions on our behalf. As these trends converge, you see the emergence of intelligent AI voice agents that…
GPUs are a precious resource; they are both short in supply and much more costly than traditional CPUs. They are also highly adaptable to many different use cases. Organizations building or adopting generative AI use GPUs to run simulations, run inference (both for internal or external usage), build agentic workloads, and run data scientists’ experiments….

The kind of model that made ChatGPT possible, known as a…
For decades, Google Search has connected you to the vast information on the web.

Google did not respond to a request for comment. In 2023, security researchers at Trend Micro got ChatGPT to generate malicious code by prompting it into the role of a security researcher and pentester. ChatGPT would then happily generate PowerShell scripts based on databases of malicious code. “You can use it to create malware,” Moussouris…
