The AI Hype Hall of Fame, as envisioned by Grok“We should stop training scientists now. It’s just completely obvious that within three years, AI is going to do better than Nobel Laureates.” is the new “We should stop training radiologists now. It’s just completely obvious that within five years, deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” §The latter quote is of course from Geoff Hinton, 2016, and it deserves to be the centerpiece in an AI Hype Hall of Fame, along with Elon Musk’s 2019 prediction“I feel very confident predicting that there will be autonomous robotaxis from Tesla…

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts have faced unprecedented challenges in 2025. Major companies are adjusting their approach to workplace diversity programs in response to the DEI rollbacks from President Trump’s administration. While some corporations are doubling down on their DEI commitments, others are scaling back initiatives due to the shifting legal landscape, political pressures, and financial considerations. The ramifications from a branding perspective are yet to be fully understood, but consumers and talent are understandably questioning whether organizations ever believed in the policies in the first place, further destabilizing confidence. In this article, I explore the changing landscape of…

On February 28, 2025, Andrej Karpathy, a prominent figure in the AI community, released the results of a significant poll concerning AI development, which was documented on his Twitter account at 12:00 PM EST (Karpathy, 2025). The poll, conducted over a week, gathered 50,000 responses and indicated a strong community interest in the integration of AI with blockchain technologies. Specifically, 72% of respondents expressed a belief that AI could significantly enhance the functionality and security of blockchain networks (Karpathy, 2025). This sentiment was particularly strong in the context of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, where 85% of respondents saw potential for…

Besides the ongoing Kunal Kamra controversy, what else do you think is making Indians lose their minds? Not the Waqf Bill or the Myanmar earthquake – but ChatGPT’s latest offering, which turns any image into a Studio Ghibli-inspired one with just the right prompt. Instagram, X, Facebook – in short, social media is flooded with users flaunting their “Ghibli-fied” photos. But amid the excitement, these images have also sparked thoughtful debates on creativity, ethics, and copyright.For some, this AI-powered transformation is a tribute – an artistic nod that helps more people discover and appreciate the legendary studio’s work. For others,…

Metrics drive the ML field. As such, if we want to influence the field or popularize new subfields, we must define the metrics that correlate with progress on the problems we care about. Formalizing these metrics into benchmarks will be crucial to capturing the attention of researchers and driving progress.Building good benchmarks is difficult, in large part because benchmarks exhibit many of the properties that produce power law outcomes. First, implicit in every benchmark design are a large number of multiplicative processes. If even one facet (e.g. ease of use, cost to evaluate, connection of the benchmark with a real…

The news: Synchron, an Australian-founded competitor to Elon Musk’s Neuralink, is building a foundational AI model trained on brain signals.The AI, called Chiral, was showcased at Nvidia’s GTC conference in San Jose. It’s built to work with Apple’s Vision Pro headset and Nvidia’s Holoscan medical AI platform.The context: Synchron is a leader in the nascent brain-computer-interface (BCI) industry. It creates devices that read brain activity and translate that into commands for a nearby computer.Its “stentrode” BCI has already been implanted in over 10 patients who, suffering from afflictions like motor neurone disease, are unable to use their hands. A video…

A new paper co-authored by the former CEO of Google has outlined a future where AI training data centers could be blown up by foreign nations.Eric Schmidt, along with Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and the Center for AI Safety’s Dan Hendrycks, warned that “destabilizing AI developments could rupture the balance of power and raise the odds of great-power conflict.”The paper lays out the concept of Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM), modeled on nuclear mutual assured destruction (MAD), where any “aggressive bid for unilateral AI dominance is met with preventive sabotage by rivals.”This could involve espionage, cyberattacks, or kinetic strikes…
