  • Is AI “Normal”?

    AI may seem like a powerful force reshaping the world, but experts at Princeton argue it’s more like electricity than a superweapon. They say AI’s real impact will come slowly, not suddenly, and instead of fearing superintelligence, we should focus on how AI affects inequality, jobs, and democracy.

  • Turns Out AI Is Bad At Picking Up On Social Cues

    AI still can’t read the room—literally. A Johns Hopkins study found AI models struggle to understand nonverbal social cues in videos, often failing to judge even basic human interactions, emotions, or body language. Unlike humans, AI lacks the real-world experience needed to grasp subtle social dynamics.

  • The Economic Case For Saving Human Jobs

    As global chaos intensifies, AI is quietly reshaping the foundation of our economy. Unlike past tech shifts, this wave threatens to erase jobs faster than it creates them—especially in low-skill sectors. Without urgent reskilling, fair policies, and corporate responsibility, we risk deep inequality, market collapse, and lasting social fallout.

  • AI Breakthroughs To Reshape Everyday Life

    AI is quickly becoming a part of daily life, from smart assistants that manage tasks like a digital twin to self-driving cars and smart homes. It’s also reshaping healthcare, fraud detection, smart cities and even brain-computer links, with companies like Google, Tesla and Neuralink leading this fast-moving shift.

  • What ‘Ex Machina’ Got Right About AI, 10 yrs Later

    AI now speaks like humans, learns from our data, and even questions its own rights. Once respected, tech billionaires are now seen as reckless, with growing concerns over stolen data, unregulated AI, and manipulation. What seemed like science fiction years ago now feels like a warning for today’s real-world AI future.

  • How AI Can Help Supercharge Creativity

    At a London rave, Lizzie Wilson codes music live with help from AI, showing how humans and machines can create together. While many AI tools make creation fast, artists worry they limit real creativity. Researchers now focus on using AI to support and challenge, not replace, human ideas.

  • Is Microsoft Ready For Next Tech Frontier?

    Microsoft’s bold AI bet is facing major setbacks. Once seen as a leader after teaming with OpenAI, it’s now cutting data center plans, losing ground to rivals, and rethinking its strategy. With Copilot struggling and AI interest slowing, Microsoft’s trillion-dollar gamble may not pay off.

  • Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Nightmare

    AI-generated Studio Ghibli-style images are sparking debate. While some see them as creative fun, others argue they devalue the artistry of Miyazaki’s work. The real issue isn’t AI itself but how it’s used—especially when it turns into engagement bait. The discussion reflects broader concerns about creativity, ownership, and technology’s role.

  • How Do You Teach An AI Model To Give Therapy?

    The first clinical trial of an AI therapy bot showed promising results for people with depression, anxiety, and eating disorder risks. Researchers at Dartmouth improved the bot by training it on therapy-based responses instead of internet chats. The key now is ensuring AI therapy uses proper data and meets FDA standards.

  • Gates: 2-Day Work Week Is Coming — Thanks To AI

    The future of work could be radically different, with AI making a two-day workweek possible, according to Bill Gates. He sees AI transforming industries, solving worker shortages, and making intelligence widely accessible. While AI could fight diseases like polio and climate change, Gates warns progress won’t be simple.
