The cleanest way to power a data centre is also the least predictable. The sun sets, the wind drops, and a server hall full of AI accelerators does not care: it wants the same steady draw at three in the morning that it wanted at noon. That mismatch is…
Fusion energy has spent decades trapped in an expensive cycle of trial and error. Now, a Chinese startup believes AI-powered simulation software could dramatically accelerate reactor development by helping scientists test designs virtually before commi…
Nearly six out of every ten videos TikTok serves to a brand-new account are AI-generated junk. That is the central finding of a report published by video editing platform Kapwing, which analysed 10,742 TikTok videos across 20 popular categories and sep…

A new study suggests AI-generated junk content has become one of TikTok’s defining features. Worse still, children and educational content appear to be among the platform’s hardest-hit corners.
Amazon’s security leadership is arguing against one of the most widely accepted principles in AI governance. Eric Brandwine, VP and distinguished engineer at Amazon Security, told The Register that human-in-the-loop oversight is not the gold standard c…
People seem all-too-ready to anthropomorphize LLMs and AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, reckons a Microsoft AI researcher.

Signal president Meredith Whittaker has warned that AI chatbots “are not your friends,” “are not conscious beings,” and “are not sentient interlocutors,” pushing back against the growing tendency of users to treat AI systems as trusted companions. The …
Companies that pushed hardest to adopt generative AI are now contending with a problem the technology was supposed to prevent: their work is getting worse. Two articles published by Harvard Business Review this month describe a feedback loop in which A…
A pair of Wharton researchers have put a name to something that many AI users have quietly started doing: letting chatbots make their decisions for them. Steven Shaw and Gideon Nave published a study in January titled “Thinking, Fast, Slow, and Artific…
