MIT researchers placed copies of Claude Opus 4.7 on a virtual island for 30 hours without specific tasks. The agents invented games like basketball and created drawings with blocks. Antonio Norelli and colleagues argue these actions show signs of playful learning. Critics note the behavior might be role-playing based on training data. The study suggests…
These new online modules are designed to empower you with the fundamental knowledge you need to use … will build the skills to use GenAI critically, ethically and responsibly, to support your learning and make smart choices about when and how to use it
A new report by Talent500, part of ANSR, reveals that 71% of Indian tech professionals value hands-on AI upskilling, yet only 29% say their employers provide it. The study, titled What Talent Wants 2026, surveyed 2,000 tech, product, and data professionals across India. Career progression is also a major concern, with 87% of respondents stating…
Brown University faculty argue that AI is changing data science by automating technical tasks like coding and prototyping. This shift increases the value of human skills such as problem framing, validation, and governance. Employers now prioritize candidates who can evaluate AI output and communicate findings effectively. The article highlights that technical foundations remain essential for…
A new guide details how users can build custom skills for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to automate recurring work. The article features advice from Alex Choroshin, who maintains a library of over 200 skills for Israeli users. It distinguishes between process skills that teach actions and knowledge skills that provide specialized data….
Andreessen Horowitz argues that new AI capabilities allow agents to manage complex customer journeys over weeks or months, rather than just handling brief interactions. The firm uses plaintiff law case preparation as an example, showing how agents can persistently gather evidence and maintain complete records to maximize settlement values. This shift enables vendors to charge…
As AI capabilities advance, researchers are searching for early warning signs of potentially harmful behavior. (Image: Adobe Stock) …
As artificial intelligence becomes more and more powerful, its ability to handle human-like tasks is undeniable. Artificial neural networks can learn to recognize images, use language, or write computer code.
AI agents are software systems that analyze information and act toward defined objectives with limited human intervention. Unlike traditional automation, they can interpret context and adjust actions within set parameters. Organizations are adopting these tools to improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making across functions like finance and procurement. Over the next two years, the focus will…
Neil Johnson and Frank Yingjie Huo from George Washington University developed a mathematical framework to identify when AI output transitions from helpful to harmful. The study, published in Patterns: A Cell Press Journal, analyzes attention mechanisms within transformer models to detect tipping points. Researchers tested the framework on seven open-weight AI models with parameter counts…
