10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now

LLMs+

When ChatGPT launched as an experimental prototype in late 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot became an everyday everything app for hundreds of millions of people. LLMs like ChatGPT were the new future: The entire tech industry was consumed by the inferno, with companies racing to spin up rival products. The as...

Supercharged scams

When ChatGPT was released to the public in late 2022, it opened people’s eyes to how easily generative AI could churn out vast amounts of human-seeming text from simple prompts. This quickly caught the attention of criminals, who soon began using large language models to produce malicious emails—bot...

World models

AI systems have already gained impressive mastery over the digital world, but the physical world is still humanity’s domain. As it turns out, building an AI system that can compose a novel or code an app is far easier than developing one that can fold laundry or navigate a city street. To get there,...

Weaponized deepfakes

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 availabili...

Humanoid data

I was recently invited to join an app that would pay me cryptocurrency to film myself doing tasks like putting food into a bowl, microwaving it, and then taking it out. Another website suggested I try a new game in which I’d remotely control a robotic arm in Shenzhen, China, as it completed puzzles...

Agent orchestration

When people say AI will speed up drug development or fear that it will bring about mass layoffs, what they have in mind—whether they know it or not—are AI agents. ChatGPT made large language models a mass consumer product. But to change the world, AI needs to do more than just talk back: It needs…

Artificial scientists

AI companies frequently invoke the possibility of AI-enabled scientific discovery as a justification for their existence: If the technology eventually cures cancer and solves climate change, then all the carbon emissions and slop videos will have been well worth it.  Already, LLMs can assist scienti...

China’s open-source bet

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 hardw...

Resistance

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...
