Image: seventyfourimages/Envato Elements The EU is pouring €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) over the next two years to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. The funding will support the development and testing of “immersive environments” to apply in healthcare for purposes like training and virtual patient assessments. The investment will also support the implementation of the AI Act, which ensures all AI systems developed and used in the EU are done so safely and responsibly. Additionally, it will help build energy-efficient digital public digital infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging ports. Many of the generative AI models powering these initiatives will…

This, from her Instagram on Saturday, is Jaqueline Cristian, the top-ranked Romanian women’s professional tennis player and the 61st ranked woman player in the world. This, a fan creation that Cristian uploaded to her Instagram, is also, evidently, Jaqueline Cristian, which is deeply problematic. Last week, the Studio Ghibli AI controversy entered our timelines, disgusting its founder and raising deep concerns about the state of intellectual property law and how it applies to the rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence. If an artist’s work — especially one as distinctive and culturally significant as Studio Ghibli’s — can be copied, modified…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Every AI model release inevitably includes charts touting how it outperformed its competitors in this benchmark test or that evaluation matrix.  However, these benchmarks often test for general capabilities. For organizations that want to use models and large language model-based agents, it’s harder to evaluate how well the agent or the model actually understands their specific needs.  Model repository Hugging Face launched Yourbench, an open-source tool where developers and enterprises can create their own benchmarks to test model performance against their…

When OpenAI unveiled its o3 “reasoning” AI model in December, the company partnered with the creators of ARC-AGI, a benchmark designed to test highly capable AI, to showcase o3’s capabilities. Months later, the results have been revised, and they now look slightly less impressive than they did initially. Last week, the Arc Prize Foundation, which maintains and administers ARC-AGI, updated its approximate computing costs for o3. The organization originally estimated that the best-performing configuration of o3 it tested, o3 high, cost around $3,000 to solve a single ARC-AGI problem. Now the Arc Prize Foundation thinks that the cost is much…
