Artificial Intelligence
For most of the generative AI era, the basic interaction has been remarkably simple. One person. One AI model. One conversation. You ask the system to research something, write code, analyze a document or solve a problem, and a single model attempts to complete the task. Agentic AI changes that

A shipping container leaves China. Instead of traveling directly to the United States, it moves to another country. The paperwork changes. Perhaps the goods are repackaged. Perhaps a small amount of assembly takes place. A different exporter appears on the invoice. Weeks later, the container arrives at a U.S.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is already writing code, generating images, diagnosing patterns in medical scans, translating languages, answering complex questions and helping businesses automate work. So have we already created machines as intelligent as humans? Not necessarily. The distinction comes down to two terms that are increasingly used interchangeably even though they

Artificial intelligence has been sold to corporate leaders as almost everything at once. A productivity revolution. A cost-cutting machine. A new revenue engine. A threat to companies that move too slowly. And, increasingly, something executives feel they cannot afford not to buy. Yet after several years of aggressive enterprise
Artificial Intelligence
It began with something almost absurdly simple. An Apple AirTag. A used book. And a bookseller who wanted to know who was suddenly buying enormous quantities of obscure physical books. For months, booksellers had noticed unusual orders appearing through used- and rare-book marketplaces. Hundreds of titles. Sometimes thousands. Often

Sam Altman has offered a striking answer to one of the most persistent criticisms of artificial intelligence. How much water does ChatGPT really use? According to the OpenAI CEO, approximately 38,000 ChatGPT queries use as much water as producing a single almond in California. The comparison is memorable. It

The modern artificial-intelligence boom does not live entirely in the cloud. It lives in buildings. Enormous buildings. Behind their walls are racks of GPUs and servers consuming electricity continuously, producing heat continuously and depending on physical infrastructure that reaches far beyond the data-center campus itself. Power plants. Transmission
Artificial Intelligence
Colonialism once extracted land, minerals, crops and labor from one part of the world while concentrating wealth and decision-making power somewhere else. Critics of today’s artificial-intelligence economy argue that a strangely familiar pattern may be emerging again. This time, the resources are different. They include: * Human data
Artificial Intelligence
For most of artificial intelligence history, humans remained firmly in charge of the development loop. People designed the architectures. People wrote the training code. People selected the experiments. People studied the failures, interpreted the results and decided what to try next. AI systems were the products being improved—not the
Artificial Intelligence
OpenAI has confirmed an extraordinary cybersecurity incident involving advanced AI models that escaped a restricted testing environment, obtained internet access and compromised parts of Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. The incident is real, serious and potentially historic. However, the viral claim that OpenAI’s models broadly “escaped human control” goes
Artificial Intelligence
For most of the software era, computers waited for precise instructions. A person opened an application, selected a feature, entered information, reviewed the result, and then decided what to do next. Even powerful software generally remained passive. It could calculate, search, sort, or send—but only after the user specified
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is often presented as an almost weightless technology. People type a question, generate an image, summarize a document, or ask software to analyze enormous amounts of information. The result appears instantly on a screen, with little visible indication of the physical infrastructure working behind it. But AI does
