As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, some thinkers are turning to ancient philosophy to guide how it should be used. From investing to education and technology leadership, Aristotle and Socrates are being brought into modern AI debates because they focused on judgment, reasoning and human purpose. The main idea is that AI should not simply give people faster answers. It should help people think better, question assumptions and make wiser decisions. In finance, la

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the business world, a new concern is emerging alongside the excitement surrounding the technology: cost. For the past few years, companies have focused heavily on increasing AI adoption, encouraging employees to use AI tools, and investing billions of dollars into developing more powerful models. Now, however, many organizations are beginning to realize that widespread AI use comes with significant expenses, particularly as toke

Meta’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence for customer support came under scrutiny this week after hackers discovered a way to manipulate the company’s AI-powered support chatbot into granting unauthorized access to Instagram accounts. The security flaw, which has now been fixed, reportedly allowed attackers to take control of accounts without needing access to the account holder’s email address, raising broader concerns about the risks of allowing AI systems to hand

Google’s Gemma 4 models are already being positioned as some of the most capable open AI models Google has released, and now they are receiving a major speed upgrade. Just weeks after launching Gemma 4, Google introduced Multi-Token Prediction, or MTP, drafters designed to make the models run much faster without lowering the quality of their responses. According to Google, these new drafters can deliver up to a 3x speed boost, making Gemma 4 more practical for developers, per

New research is raising a striking possibility in artificial intelligence: emotionally charged conversations may shape how AI systems behave, even if those systems do not literally feel emotions. Across recent commentary and research from Anthropic, experts argue that large language models can develop internal representations of emotion concepts that influence their decisions, preferences, and outputs. This does not mean chatbots experience emotions the way humans do, but it

Artificial intelligence may be approaching a turning point far sooner than many businesses, investors, and governments expect. According to recent research highlighted by Morgan Stanley, the first half of 2026 could bring a dramatic leap in AI capabilities that reshapes entire industries. The investment bank warns that rapid advances in computing power and model training are pushing large language models toward a new level of performance, potentially triggering a wave of econ

Yann LeCun’s new startup, AMI Labs, has quickly become one of the most closely watched AI ventures of 2026 after raising an enormous $1.03 billion seed round at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation. Based in Paris, the company, whose full name is Advanced Machine Intelligence, is pursuing a very different direction from the large language model boom that has defined much of the current AI industry. Rather than concentrating on systems trained mainly on text, AMI Labs wants to b

Wikipedia recently marked its 25th anniversary, but the milestone arrives at a complicated moment for one of the internet’s most influential platforms. Launched on January 15, 2001, Wikipedia began as an experiment in open collaboration, a free online encyclopedia that anyone could edit. What started as a side project to support the more formal Nupedia quickly eclipsed its predecessor. By allowing users to bypass strict editorial review and contribute directly, Wikipedia rapi

At AWS re:Invent this week, Amazon Web Services signaled that the next phase of enterprise AI is less about picking a single “best” chatbot model and more about tailoring models to a company’s exact data, language, and use cases. Coming right after AWS announced Nova Forge, a service for training custom versions of its Nova AI models, the company introduced new features in Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI meant to make custom large language model work faster and less

Intuit’s new multimillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI marks a significant step in the fusion of artificial intelligence with mainstream financial services, bringing some of the industry’s most widely used tax and financial tools directly into ChatGPT. Announced as a multiyear agreement valued at more than $100 million, the deal opens the door for Intuit’s major products, TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma and Mailchimp, to operate natively within ChatGPT, offering users a

Alibaba is making its most determined push yet into China’s consumer AI market with the launch of its newly upgraded Qwen chatbot, a move that signals a significant strategy shift for the tech giant. For years, Alibaba focused its artificial intelligence efforts primarily on enterprise clients through its cloud business, leaving consumer-facing AI tools underdeveloped compared with its biggest rivals. The debut of the new Qwen app, now available for free through a mobile app
