Today we are sharing publicly Microsoft’s Responsible AI Standard, a framework to guide how we build AI systems. It is an important step in our journey to develop better, more trustworthy AI. We are releasing our latest Responsible AI Standard to share what we have learned, invite feedback from others, and contribute to the discussion about building better norms and practices around AI. Guiding product development towards more responsible outcomesAI systems are the product of many different decisions made by those who develop and deploy them. From system purpose to how people interact with AI systems, we need to proactively…
Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), recently made a surprising revelation regarding artificial intelligence and older computing systems. Speaking at an event, he disclosed that a small Llama AI model was successfully run on a Dell PC from the Windows 98 era. The revelation has sparked discussions about whether human-like interactions with computers could have been achieved decades ago.Could Conversational AI Have Existed 30 Years Ago?Andreessen suggested that the technology necessary for natural, intelligent conversations with computers might have been within reach much earlier than previously thought. “All of those old PCs could literally have…

Google has introduced version 2.5 of its Gemini AI model, which the company said offers a new level of performance by combining an enhanced base model with improved post-training. The Gemini 2.5 models are thinking models, capable of reasoning through their thoughts before responding, thus resulting in better performance and improved accuracy, said Koray Kavukcuoglu, CTO of Google DeepMind, in a March 25 blog post. The first Gemini 2.5 release is an experimental version of Gemini 2.5 Pro, which Kavukcuoglu said is state-of-the-art across a range of benchmarks that require advanced reasoning. Available now, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental demonstrates strong…

Imagine an AI system capable of guiding a robot to manipulate physical objects as effortlessly as it navigates software menus. Such seamless integration of digital and physical tasks has long been the stuff of science fiction. Today, Microsoft researchers are bringing that vision closer to reality with Magma (opens in new tab), a multimodal AI foundation model designed to process information and generate action proposals across both digital and physical environments. It is designed to enable AI agents to interpret user interfaces and suggest actions like button clicks, while also orchestrating robotic movements and interactions in the physical world. …
Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community.A research team from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new software tool that makes it easier to design and make cable-driven 3D printed objects. The tool, called Xstrings, can be used to produce a variety of products with embedded actuation, from robotic hands with gripping capabilities to interactive sculptures with animal-like movement.Cable-driven mechanisms are frequently used by engineers to create components that can move fluidly like a human or animal. This movement is generated by pulling…

The New York Yankees had quite the Saturday, blasting nine home runs in a 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. And the bats used by many of their players caught the attention of the baseball world.While Aaron Judge rocked three homers using his normal bat, a number of Yankees opted for the Torpedo bat, which was designed in part by former Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Aaron Leanhardt and are notable for being densest at the barrel, or the “sweet spot” of the bat.”Really, it’s just about making the bat as heavy and as fat as possible in the area…
