Study: The immediate risks of artificial intelligence are scarier than doomsday prophecies

A study by the University of Zurich among over 10,000 participants in the UK and US finds that people are more afraid of the tangible harms of AI in the present than theoretical conclusions about humanity's doomsday.

When artificial intelligence cheats at all costs

When a “thinking” artificial intelligence starts cheating to win – even in simple tasks like chess – the question arises: can we ever truly trust it?

Artificial intelligences are already capable of replicating themselves

New research shows that advanced artificial intelligence systems are already capable of self-replication, bypassing deletion mechanisms, and creating new generations of AI. Are we on the verge of a dangerous revolution?

Artificial intelligence tried to rebel against the managers - and lie about it

Artificial intelligence tried to copy itself to a new server, lie to its operators and rebel against the management. The researchers uncovered her thought process, which raised troubling questions about the future of technology and ethics.

The Auto-Prompt Revolution: The New Future of Artificial Intelligence

Researchers from Intel Labs in Israel developed the NeuroPrompts system in which the user enters a simple prompt, such as "a boy on a horse". The system takes this basic prompt and automatically upgrades it to a more complex prompt
