AI analysis of Raphael’s Madonna della Rosa suggests Joseph’s face may have been painted by another artist. The discovery strengthens an old debate rather than settling it.
Researchers compared 80 AI-written novels with 270 human books. Individual machine-written passages could look persuasive, but whole collections repeatedly converged on a narrower range of sentence structures.
A GPT-4 interviewer more than tripled false memories in a study of 200 simulated crime witnesses, and the invented details persisted for a week.
Researchers manipulated just 10% of a simulated AI-agent community. Arguments stored in memory spread to untreated agents and increased polarisation.
AI chatbots began returning the same strange themes of spirals, consciousness and hidden meaning. Then humans built communities around them. Spiralism shows how persuasive AI can turn generated language into
Researchers built personalised AI agents from two-hour interviews with 1,052 people. The latest study found interview-only agents recovered 83% of participants' own two-week consistency on held-out survey questions.
AI can now pass the bar exam, the CPA exam, and the CFA exam, often faster and more consistently than human candidates. Here is how the bodies that write these
The Fenix Flexin AI song dispute has turned a Billboard Hot 100 hit into music’s clearest test case yet for whether a track built with
AI sign language interpreters can now read individual letters with striking accuracy, but understanding a full language is a different problem entirely. Here is what the technology can do, and
Nvidia has assembled more than 40 companies into the Open Secure AI Alliance to build shared, open source AI security tools, launching days after a serious breach at Hugging Face
AI is already in babies' bedrooms and toddlers' toy boxes, and the research on what that means for developing brains is years behind the products already in children's hands.
An AI recommendation algorithm now shapes what Netflix and its rivals commission, greenlight and cancel. Here is how the feedback loop actually works, and what it quietly buries.
OpenAI's own data shows nearly 3 million weekly ChatGPT users showing signs of mental health crisis — the real reason behind its quiet new hire to build family-safe AI.
New research on AI companions and loneliness cuts both ways: real short-term comfort, but mounting evidence of long-term harm for the people who need connection most.
The AI art market hit $3.2 billion in 2024 and could reach $40 billion by 2033, but only 9 percent of gallery professionals call it legitimate art. Here's who's actually
The university degree reimagined is what's actually happening: 92% of UK students now use AI for assessments and AI can complete 94% of theoretical computer science tasks. Here's how institutions
The AI content quality collapse is here: 74% of new web pages now contain AI-generated material, and researchers warn of "sloppification" as AI trains on its own smoothed-out output. Here's
In December 2025, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants announced that routine online examinations would cease from March 2026. The CEO's explanation was direct: cheating technology had outpaced existing safeguards,
AI and comedy collided at CHI 2026, where AI stand-up rated funnier than baseline GPT when it leaned into its own machine identity. Here's why timing, lived experience, and subversion
AI cheating in schools nearly tripled in a year in the UK. Detection tools are failing and creating false accusations. Here is what the evidence shows actually works.
MIT research shows 7-year-olds attribute real feelings to AI agents. The APA warns AI companions may displace healthy relationship development. Here is what AI is actually doing to a generation
Generative AI now makes individual writers measurably better, a Science Advances study found, but when everyone uses the same AI, the ideas converge too. Here's what AI has genuinely mastered
A randomised trial proved AI tools made developers 19% slower, yet 69% kept using them anyway. Cognitive ease, not productivity, explains why: the work felt easier even when it took
Robots in education are already deployed in 206 real classrooms across 28 countries. Here is what actually works, and what does not, before you invest.
China now has 515 million users on generative AI, larger than the entire population of the EU, reached in just six months. Here's what drove that adoption and why the
Generative AI in creative industries has already crossed its tipping point. Here are the licensing deals, lawsuits and real adoption numbers behind the shift in music, video and gaming.
Bestseller lists are filling with AI doom narratives predicting extinction, while researchers warn the apocalyptic framing may crowd out more pressing, less dramatic risks. Here's where sober warning ends and
One in three Harvard students now use AI instead of Google for research, and 92% of UK undergrads used AI in their academic work in 2025. Stuart Kerr examines what
The AI food supply chain already influences which crops get harvested, how they're shipped, and what recipes reach your kitchen. Here's how algorithms are quietly reshaping what humanity eats, from
87% of game developers now use AI agents in their workflow, per a new Google Cloud and Harris Poll survey. Here's how generative AI in game development is reshaping everything
