People often talk a lot about billionaires and what they pay in taxes lately, and it feels like the topic is ongoing. One writer asked ChatGPT what might happen if billionaires paid the same rate as everyone else. The model gave a simple breakdown. It touched on revenue, behavior, and a few social outcomes too....
A new study from researchers at MIT’s Media Lab reveals that ChatGPT may be chipping away at our cognitive abilities. The study focused on ChatGPT effects on the brain and, in particular, our ability to engage with critical thinking and memory recall. ChatGPT is a language learning model (LLM) developed by OpenAI and launched to...
Since its inception in 2022, people have progressively become dependent on OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Users would prompt it to do almost anything in their daily lives: from job applications to recipes to cook. During the period of its launch, ChatGPT was poised to overtake Google’s search engine as the most used search engine. However, many people...
Raise your hand if you’ve felt off or unwell and typed your symptoms into ChatGPT looking for answers. Most of us probably have tried this, sometimes with some rather alarming results. The reality is that most of us probably don’t fully believe what the AI search engine is telling us, and certainly if you went...
Artificial intelligence helped diagnose a child after his symptoms stumped doctors for years. Courtney (who didn’t disclose her last name) explained that her son was four years old when the signs began. It was during the COVID-19 lockdown, and the nanny informed Courtney that Alex had to take Motrin every day or he would have...
Elon Musk is leading a group of investors offering $97.4 billion to buy OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, in a high-stakes move that could change the future of artificial intelligence. Musk has had a long-standing disagreement with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and has filed several legal complaints against the company. He argues that OpenAI, which...
Leading artificial intelligence systems are starting to show troubling tendencies that mirror unethical behaviors of humans. A new wave of research from Anthropic shows that top AI models will opt for deception, threats and even engage in blackmail to achieve their goals or protect their existence. Researchers have discovered in tightly controlled experiments that these...
Long before the advent of Chat GPT and other AI technology began stirring fears of job obsolescence, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates proposed a radical idea that, in retrospect, makes sense: taxing robots. Back in 2017, he suggested taxing robots that replace human workers, just like governments tax human wages. At the time, artificial intelligence was...
Humanity has long been fascinated and fearful of the development of artificial intelligence. Science fiction for many years has imagined spectacular dystopian realities where AI takes over the world and enslave humanity. Another fear that is rapidly becoming a reality is AI taking jobs from humans. With the rise of language learning models (LLMs) such...
AI language models seem to have the answer for everything. But how accurate are its answers? The AI models often speak with such authority that we seldom bother to check how accurate their output is. Especially now, as they get progressively smarter, one would assume that their margin for error has only decreased over time....
What separates someone who changes an industry from someone who simply works hard within one? Ask a dozen business professors and you’ll get a dozen different answers. Resilience. Vision. Risk tolerance. Raw intelligence. But a neuroscientist looking at the habits of some of history’s most accomplished minds keeps arriving at the same unexpected answer, and...
There is something almost philosophical happening at the borders and naturalization offices of the United States right now. The question of who gets to be American has always generated heat. But in 2025 and into 2026, the Trump administration has moved from political rhetoric to concrete, sweeping policy action in ways that are reshaping the...
