A few months before he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 2024, Daron Acemoglu published a paper that earned him few fans in Silicon Valley. Contrary to what Big Tech…
What laws does superintelligence demand?
Before he opened fire on the Florida State University campus last year, killing two people and wounding six others, Phoenix Ikner had a conversation.
In the first week of the landmark trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI, Musk took the stand in a crisp black suit and tie and argued that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman had deceived him into bankrolling the company. Along the way, he warned that AI could destroy us all and sat…
Companies are taking control of their own data to tailor AI for their needs. The challenge lies in balancing ownership with the safe, trusted flow of high‑quality data needed to power reliable insights. This conversation from MIT Technology Review’s EmTech AI conference examines how AI factories unlock new levels of scale, sustainability, and governance—positioning data…
New research from West Virginia University shows that as generative artificial intelligence begins to show up in courtrooms across the country, judges aren't rushing to hand over the gavel.
As cloud workloads become more agentic and AI systems handle increasingly sensitive data, trust must be engineered directly into infrastructure. Azure Integrated HSM brings hardware‑enforced key protection into Azure, extending cryptographic trust from silicon to services through verifiable and transparent design. The post Enforcing trust and transparency: Open-sourcing the Azure Integrated HSM appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog .
BioticsAI CEO Robhy Bustami joined Isabelle Johannessen on Build Mode to discuss how the company has navigated a highly regulated space and kept the team motivated while cutting through all the red tape.
Elon Musk took the stand for the second day for his attempt to legally dismantle OpenAI.
Azure Local scales Microsoft Sovereign Private Cloud, supporting AI and data workloads with full control, compliance, and disconnected operations. The post Microsoft Sovereign Private Cloud scales to thousands of nodes with Azure Local appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog .
Note: This episode was recorded just after AIE Europe, but before the Cursor-xAI deal.
What happens when artificial intelligence gets it wrong? From self-driving cars to medical tools, rapid advances in AI are raising new ethical and legal concerns.
As autonomous vehicles (AVs) near widespread use, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington say the technology could change not just how people travel but how much, reshaping traffic congestion, city planning and public policy.
Much of the current conversation about AI assumes uptake is inevitable, more technology means better outcomes and the main task is managing risk.
Artificial Intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton insisted Tuesday on the need to strictly regulate the technology, warning that it remained unclear if humanity could co-exist with super intelligent AI.
On a Saturday morning, you head to the hardware store. Your neighbors' Ring cameras film your walk to the car. Your car's sensors, cameras and microphones record your speed, how you drive, where you're going, who's with you, what you say, and biological metrics such as facial expression, weight and heart rate. Your car may also collect text messages and contacts from your connected smartphone.
Silicon Valley AI companies follow a familiar playbook: Keep the secret sauce behind an API, and charge for every drop. China’s leading AI labs are playing a different game: They ship models as downloadable “open-weight” packages. This lets developers adapt the models and run them on their own hardware to build products without negotiating a…
Turns out not everyone wants to live in the future that AI companies are building. People from all walks of life are speaking out against rising electricity bills from data centers, disappearing jobs, chatbots’ impact on teen mental health, the military’s use of AI, and copyright infringement—among other concerns. This anti-AI movement is taking shape…
For years, experts have warned that deepfakes—AI-generated videos, images, or audio recordings of people doing or saying things they haven’t actually done in real life—could be deployed in malicious ways. These dangers are now here. Improvements in deepfake technology, and the widespread availability of easy-to-use and cheap (or free) generative models, have made it easier…
As AI agents increasingly work alongside humans across organizations, companies could be inadvertently opening a new attack surface. Insecure agents can be manipulated to access sensitive systems and proprietary data, increasing enterprise risk. In some modern enterprises, non-human identities (NHI) are outpacing human identities, and that trend will explode with agentic AI. Solid governance and…
