Researchers from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS), MIT’s Media Lab, the Brazilian university UFABC, and the pandemic prevention non-profit SecureBio have found that leading artificial intelligence models can outperform experienced, PhD-level virologists in troubleshooting complex laboratory procedures. The findings, detailed in a new study introducing the Virology Capabilities Test (VCT), demonstrate AI’s proficiency in specialized scientific tasks but also highlight serious dual-use concerns, suggesting these tools could lower the barrier for creating dangerous biological agents. The VCT benchmark, consisting of 322 questions and detailed further in its research paper, was designed specifically to measure an AI’s ability to assist…

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNETWith AI, one can now produce thousands of high-quality illustrations and videos. But that is only part of the story.Last August, a group of artists took AI imaging tools providers to court, which ruled against Stability AI and MidJourney’s motion to dismiss the artists’ copyright infringement claims. The case has moved to discovery and is set to begin in September 2026. Also: Can AI supercharge creativity without stealing from artists?”In reaching this decision, the judge found both direct and induced copyright infringement claims to be plausible,” explains Zach Schor in the NYU Journal of Intellectual Property…
One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, changing the tech world. Generative AI became the top priority for every tech company, and that’s how we ended up with “smart” fridges with built-in AI. Artificial intelligence is being built into everything, sometimes for the hype alone, with products like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini having come a long way since late 2022.As soon as it became clear that genAI would reshape technology, likely leading to advanced AI systems that can do everything humans can do but better and faster, we started seeing worries that AI would negatively impact society and doom scenarios where…
Three years ago, suggesting AI was “sentient” was one way to get fired in the tech world. Now, tech companies are more open to having that conversation.This week, AI startup Anthropic launched a new research initiative to explore whether models might one day experience “consciousness,” while a scientist at Google DeepMind described today’s models as “exotic mind-like entities.”It’s a sign of how much AI has advanced since 2022, when Blake Lemoine was fired from his job as a Google engineer after claiming the company’s chatbot, LaMDA, had become sentient. Lemoine said the system feared being shut off and described itself…
