A high-profile legal case has unearthed a trove of internal Meta communications, and one particular document has caught the eye of some AI researchers.This reveals new insights into how models are built and could influence who gets to share in the spoils of this new technology.Buried in these court filings is a description of how Meta researchers used a process called ablation to identify which data helped improve the company’s Llama AI models.Ablation is a medical technique that purposely destroys tissue to improve things like brain function. In AI, it involves removing parts of a system to study how those…

Anthropic will roll out its Claude artificial intelligence application to U.S. government agencies under a partnership with Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials), the companies announced. Claude for Enterprise will be made available through Palantir’s FedStart program, allowing federal agencies to access the AI tool under Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 security standards. The deployment is expected in the coming months. FedStart helps companies meet government compliance standards quickly by running products within Palantir’s accredited environment. Anthropic said the partnership will allow federal workers to use Claude for writing, data analysis and complex…

Earlier this week, the TIME magazine released its coveted list of 100 Most Influential People from around the world. Among those featured was Demis Hassabis, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Google DeepMind — the tech giant’s artificial intelligence research lab.Earlier this week, the TIME magazine released its coveted list of 100 Most Influential People from around the world.

In a bid to protect its crown jewels, OpenAI is now requiring government ID verification for developers who want access to its most advanced AI models.While the move is officially about curbing misuse, a deeper concern is emerging: that OpenAI’s own outputs are being harvested to train competing AI systems.A new research paper from Copyleaks, a company that specializes in AI content detection, offers evidence of why OpenAI may be acting now. Using a system that identifies the stylistic “fingerprints” of major AI models, Copyleaks estimated that 74% of the outputs from rival Chinese model, DeepSeek-R1, were classified as OpenAI-written.This…

On Monday, a developer using the popular AI-powered code editor Cursor noticed something strange: Switching between machines instantly logged them out, breaking a common workflow for programmers who use multiple devices. When the user contacted Cursor support, an agent named “Sam” told them it was expected behavior under a new policy. But no such policy existed, and Sam was a bot. The AI model made the policy up, sparking a wave of complaints and cancellation threats documented on Hacker News and Reddit.This marks the latest instance of AI confabulations (also called “hallucinations”) causing potential business damage. Confabulations are a type…

Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…

The “Z” stands for zero downtime, according to IBM Z Chief Product Officer Tina Tarquinio.The z17 model was unveiled during a launch event for IBM Z clients…

An MIT student has sued the federal government over its abrupt termination of her international student record in a federal database managed by the Department of Homeland Security.The student, an MIT senior set to graduate in May, learned her record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS, was abruptly deleted in early April, putting her at risk of detainment by immigration enforcement agents.Several dozen international students in Massachusetts, and over a thousand nationwide, had their visas revoked and SEVIS records expunged by the federal government in recent days. The reason behind the moves remain unclear, and federal…

AsianFin — The global venture capital (VC) transaction volumes plunged in the first quarter of 2025, according to global research institutions Crunchbase and PitchBook-NVCA.Despite a decline in overall deal volume, artificial intelligence (AI) investments have experienced the most robust quarter in the first quarter of 2025 since mid-2022.Global VC transactions in Q1 2025 reached 7,551 deals, a 32% year-over-year decline, as per PitchBook. However, the total transaction value surged to $126.3 billion, representing a 53.46% increase compared to the same period in 2024.AI and machine learning led the charge, with 2,101 transactions worth $73.1 billion, making up 57.87% of the…
