The “cost of goods plus markup” formula for determining retail price, often a delicate balancing act in the best of times, is especially fraught in the age of tariffs. Trade policy under President Trump has been in flux since January, so it’s often difficult to know what the cost of goods is, or will be. Plus, consumers, whose capacity to spend on discretionary items is already sorely tested, are on the lookout for deals and easily shun anything they deem overpriced. Lower-income…
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…
Branding the fast-moving AI marketplace has become as fascinating to observe as the products themselves. Keeping pace is Twelve Labs, an AI video tool, which has revealed a new identity by Pentagram that appropriately mirrors the movement and speed of the sector. In reality, the motion-ready logo at the heart of the identity – a symbol of a person riding on horseback rendered IBM-style – was designed to evoke the “forward energy of the company itself”, according to the agency. The motif is also a reference to Eadweard Muybridge, the 19th century pioneer of motion studies and animation techniques, who…
Lawyers want genAI tools to give good results. But, what happens when they become almost perfect, i.e. 99.9% accurate, all of the time? That would mark the end of the legal world as we know it. So You Want Perfection? At present, as many studies have shown, genAI results across a range of tasks are not perfect. GenAI can also – without proper RAG support – include hallucinations, and even with RAG techniques can still give partial, or potentially misleading, answers that are ‘correct’ in factual terms, but miss key information. Every legal tech company worth its salt is trying…
