<p>Reports of wide-scale replacement of workers by AI are overblown. Small businesses use it to help workers</p><p>I recently met the owner of a company that sells windows and doors. He told me he invested about $10,000 in an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/artificialintelligenceai">AI</a> application that is used by his salespeople in his showroom. The application listens to the conversations between the salesperson and the prospective customer and then automatically creates a q

On a dataset called MedQA-SWE, GPT-4 scored 84% accuracy in 2024 and o3 scored 88% in 2025 on a smaller, overlapping dataset.</p> <p>With post-training (SFT) on data from earlier years, I got MedGemma-1.5-4B to a passing score of 60% on the final year’s exam.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 scored 30.2 percent on ARC-AGI-3, nearly quadrupling GPT-5.6 Sol's previous record of 7.8 percent. The benchmark's developers say the model independently formulated reflection equations, a behavior they had never seen from another model, and attribute to stronger logical reasoning.

In summer 2025, OpenAI internally flagged GPT-5 as high-risk because it helped users create biological hazards, but downgraded the model's risk rating that fall. According to the Wall Street Journal, some users got step-by-step instructions for making poisons and biological weapons. Hundreds asked for that kind of information. The article Hundreds asked ChatGPT for poison and bioweapon recipes and some got step-by-step high school level guides appeared first on The Decoder .

As AI agents take on higher-stakes decisions, Lean programming language makes it possible to mathematically prove they will behave safely.

The Trump administration is planning targeted bans on Chinese AI models rather than a blanket ban. After public pressure, OpenAI and Google DeepMind signed an open letter opposing regulation of open-weight models, yet OpenAI and Anthropic continue to lobby privately for those same restrictions amid security concerns and powerful business interests. The article US reportedly favors selective bans over blanket restrictions on Chinese open weight models citing security concerns appeared first on Th

An ACM survey of 763 computer science educators from 49 countries shows that 68 percent have already changed their exams because of AI, shifting toward oral exams, proctored tests, and project-based work. Teaching is moving from writing code to understanding it. But nearly half of respondents say they lack proven examples for integrating AI into their courses.
