Autonomous AI systems test governance in physical environments

AI companies' profitability from model outputs signals a shift towards AI-driven revenue models, impacting tech and investment landscapes. The post Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says tokens are now profitable for AI companies, and he’s not talking about crypto appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

Fine-tuning tests show "bias ... toward confidently representing the claims as true."

For the past decade, artificial intelligence mostly lived on a screen. It answered questions, finished sentences, sorted images, and recommended the next thing to watch. That era is ending. The next wave of AI has hands, wheels, rotors, and sensors — and it’s being asked to operate reliably in warehouses, hospitals, farms, and city streets. […]

Campaigners against online harms, including relatives of people who have taken their own lives, are justifiably angry that it has taken so long to get to this point. Even now, Ofcom is giving the website’s operator the chance to address “concerns” and avoid a court order that would ban access to it. But if enforcement remains a tortuous process, at least the principle is clear. It is illegal to encourage or assist a suicide in England and Wales (in Scotland, such actions could lead to prosecution as reckless endangerment or a range of other offences). A situation whereby behaviour is tolerated online, when it would carry criminal penalties if carried out in person, cannot be allowed. Continue reading...

Humanoid robots are crossing the gap from lab demos to real warehouses, kitchens, and factory floors — but most teams discover the hard part isn’t the model. It’s the data behind it. Foundation models can recognize a cup; deploying a humanoid that picks one up, hands it to an elderly person, and adapts when the […]
