The Data That Powers AI Is Disappearing Fast Kevin Roose | The New York Times Over the past year, many of the most important web sources used for training AI models have restricted the use of their data, according to a study published this week by the Data Provenance Initiative, an MIT-led research group. The study, which looked at 14,000 web domains that are included in three commonly used AI training data sets, discovered an emerging crisis in consent, as publishers and online platforms have taken steps to prevent their data from being harvested Continue reading →

Despite their uncanny language skills, todays leading AI chatbots still struggle with reasoning. A secretive new project from OpenAI could reportedly be on the verge of changing that Continue reading →

The study of quantum phase transitions, specifically the quantum Griffith singularity, has advanced with a team led by Jian-Hao Chen investigating this phenomenon in unconventional high-temperature superconducting bulk single crystals of CaFe1-xNixAsF. They observed robust quantum Griffith singularities influenced by magnetic fields, suggesting the potential universality of this phenomenon in three-dimensional and unconventional superconductors, which could enhance the understanding of high-temperature superconductivity mechanisms.
