Artificial intelligence news covers generative AI, including large language models, text-to-image and text-to-video algorithms; speech recognition and generation; and other cutting-edge machine learning technology. It also addresses AI’s ethical challenges, including privacy, bias and the potential to replace human jobs.

Young entrepreneurs are driving billion-dollar AI innovations. Teen founders such as Pranjali Awasthi are establishing companies valued at millions while still in high school, and government agencies are rapidly adopting AI for public services. The FDA launched an AI tool to accelerate drug reviews, and Mississippi is leading statewide AI education initiatives.

As AI becomes more widespread, it raises serious concerns over the ability of machines to manipulate people and society at large. Researchers have been working to fix this problem by developing “reality check” software that can flag misleading or biased information. But many believe the ultimate solution to this problem is less about technology and more about culture.

The outputs of AI models can sound incredibly convincing—so much so that they can lead humans to misbehave or even commit crimes. This phenomenon is known as hallucinations, and it’s a serious problem in everything from chatbot sessions to lawsuits and medical records.

The biggest tech companies are repositioning themselves for increased regulatory scrutiny. Microsoft dropped its observer seat on OpenAI’s board after UK and European antitrust investigations, while Google disbanded its machine learning privacy team. Meanwhile, Apple sued a Chinese company for selling a fake AI assistant and the Vatican approved a new law regulating AI use.
