Sam Altman thinks artificial intelligence is about to hit the job market, and customer service workers will be the first to feel it.”I’m confident that a lot of current customer support that happens over a phone or computer, those people will lose their jobs, and that’ll be better done by an AI,” the OpenAI CEO said in an interview on “The Tucker Carlson Show” on Wednesday.But Altman doesn’t see the shift as unprecedented. He compared it to the long arc of employment shifts, noting that societies historically cycle through large job changes every few generations.”Someone told me recently that the…

As AI is increasingly helping hackers to launch mass-scale email attacks, former Google security leaders have joined forces to build autonomous AI agents that aim to stop phishing, malware, and business email compromise threats before they ever reach user inboxes. That is the mission behind AegisAI, a new email security startup that has just emerged from stealth with $13 million in seed funding co-led by Accel and Foundation Capital. More than 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, per U.S. federal cybersecurity agency CISA. A recent CrowdStrike study (PDF) also found that phishing messages generated by large language…

‘AI Agents in Law: What’s Next for Legal Judgment’ – A free webinar with Artificial Lawyer, LegalOn’s Daniel Lewis, and Bärí A. Williams – September 25, 9AM PT / 5PM UK AI agents are sprinting into legal practice, offering ‘delegate-not-just-prompt’ workflows and deep research at scale. These systems can now rival junior associates on some tasks, opening the door to unprecedented efficiencies. But as Artificial Lawyer has noted, the profession must take care not to delegate away its core expertise and judgment. In this live conversation, LegalOn’s Daniel Lewis and Bärí A. Williams join Artificial Lawyer to explore what agentic…

Segmenting 3D assets into their constituent parts is crucial for enhancing 3D understanding, facilitating model reuse, and supporting various applications such as part generation. However, current methods face limitations such as poor robustness when dealing with complex objects and cannot fully automate the process. In this paper, we propose a native 3D point-promptable part segmentation model termed P3-SAM, designed to fully automate the segmentation of any 3D objects into components. Inspired by SAM, P3-SAM consists of a feature extractor, multiple segmentation heads, and an IoU predictor, enabling interactive segmentation for users. We also propose an algorithm to automatically select and…

What is Claude AI?Claude is a family of large language models (LLMs) developed by Anthropic.It is named after American computer scientist Claude Shannon who is known as the ‘father of information theory’ and a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) research.The family consists of three AI models:Haiku, optimised for speedOpus, designed for complex reasoning tasksSonnet, balancing capability and performanceThe three siblings are all generative pre-trained transformers (GPT), which means they were designed to predict the next word in large amounts of text and then fine-tuned using human feedback.Who owns Claude AI?Claude is owned by Anthropic, which is a public benefit corporation…

Oracle shares surged after market hours on Tuesday following its quarterly earnings, where the company reported signing several multi-billion-dollar contracts. Now, a report from The Wall Street Journal sheds light on one of those deals.According to the WSJ, OpenAI has agreed to purchase $300 billion worth of compute power from Oracle over about five years, beginning in 2027. If confirmed, the agreement would mark one of the largest cloud contracts ever signed.Oracle has been building its relationship with OpenAI since mid-2024, when the AI firm began tapping its infrastructure, moving away from exclusively relying on Microsoft Azure. In January, OpenAI,…

Representative imageAs AI companies push to make their models relevant across cultures and geographies, linguistic expertise has emerged as a critical skill in the AI economy. AI is fuelling the rise of linguists who design prompts to test models on cultural nuance, bias, and taboos; benchmark responses for tone, accuracy, and cultural appropriateness; and review datasets to ensure they reflect diverse contexts. For Indian linguists, especially in underrepresented languages, opportunities are accelerating. Some US firms and recruitment platforms list rates ranging from $10 to $50 an hour, reflecting the growing demand and varied duration of projects.Recruitment platform Talentmate, for instance,…
