Category Artificial Intelligence Date July 25, 2025 Picture walking into your office tomorrow morning and finding that overnight, your customer service backlog disappeared, inventory got optimized perfectly, and three new market opportunities were identified and analyzed. That’s how AI Agents work! This scenario plays out daily at companies deploying AI agents, with Gartner’s latest research showing that these will autonomously take care of almost 80% of customer service issues commonly existing in the industry, that too, without any human intervention. The numbers tell a compelling story about transformation happening right now. Yet despite this momentum, confusion persists about ‘What are…

AI writing is everywhere now, flooding social media, websites, and emails—so you’re probably encountering it more than you realize.That email you just received, the product review you’re reading, or the Reddit post that sounds oddly corporate might all be generated by tools like AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude. The writing often appears polished, maybe too polished, hitting every point perfectly while maintaining an unnaturally enthusiastic tone throughout. While AI detectors promise to catch machine-generated text, they’re often unreliable and miss the subtler signs that reveal when algorithms have done the heavy lifting. You don’t need fancy software or…

Washington CNN  —  Dozens of AI industry leaders, academics and even some celebrities on Tuesday called for reducing the risk of global annihilation due to artificial intelligence, arguing in a brief statement that the threat of an AI extinction event should be a top global priority. “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,” read the statement published by the Center for AI Safety. The statement was signed by leading industry officials including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; the so-called “godfather” of AI, Geoffrey Hinton; top executives…

DMOSpeech 2 optimizes duration prediction and introduces teacher-guided sampling to enhance speech synthesis performance and diversity. Diffusion-based text-to-speech (TTS) systems have made remarkable progress in zero-shot speech synthesis, yet optimizing all components for perceptual metrics remains challenging. Prior work with DMOSpeech demonstrated direct metric optimization for speech generation components, but duration prediction remained unoptimized. This paper presents DMOSpeech 2, which extends metric optimization to the duration predictor through a reinforcement learning approach. The proposed system implements a novel duration policy framework using group relative preference optimization (GRPO) with speaker similarity and word error rate as reward signals. By optimizing this…

Advanced AI chips worth at least $1 billion were reportedly smuggled into China three months after the administration of President Donald Trump strengthened export controls. Financial Times (FT) reported Nvidia’s high-performance B200 AI chips are widely available in China through a thriving black market for US chips which are banned for sale in the country. The newspaper cited dozens of sales contracts, company filings and multiple people with direct knowledge of the illicit deals. FT noted the B200 processors are widely used by US heavyweights OpenAI, Google and Meta Platforms to train their latest AI systems. In May, FT explained…

Proponents of online hustle culture talk often talk about getting up as early as possible, but a recent Nobel Prize winner — and one of the most consequential CEOs of the age — does things a little differently.Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis goes to sleep when many people are just about getting up — at 4 in the morning. “I think I probably have some quite unusual habits,” he had said on a podcast in 2017. “I generally sleep at about 4 in the morning. I’ll get in to work around 10 a.m., do a full day’s work in the…

Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR OpenAI plans to launch its GPT-5 model as early as August. The AI model was initially expected to arrive sometime in the middle of the year. GPT-5 is expected to be a more powerful model that incorporates the company’s o3 model and other technologies. Google has many competitors in the AI space, but none bigger than OpenAI. The company’s Gemini rival, ChatGPT, is one of the most popular chatbots currently available. And ChatGPT could get a big boost in power as early as next month with the launch of GPT-5.Back in March, reports suggested that…

Read More Midjourney is one of the leading AI image and video generation tools, and the company has now integrated AI-generated video content into Discord. The paid tool was one of the first to make a splash in the world of AI content creation, though it has faced strong competition from ChatGPT and Google Veo for image and video generation, respectively. AI-generated images have long been integrated into Discord for Midjourney subscribers, which starts at $10 monthly (or $96 annually) for the…

AI companies are gobbling up investor money and securing sky-high valuations early in their life cycle. This dynamic has many calling the AI industry a bubble. Nick Frosst, a co-founder of Cohere, which builds custom AI models for enterprise customers, recently said on TechCrunch’s Found podcast that he doesn’t think the AI industry is in a bubble. While he acknowledges the froth, he thinks calling it a bubble discredits the companies, like his own Cohere, that are creating genuinely useful features for its customers. “Frequently I’ll run into something where I’ll see somebody using our model, and they will have…
