Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has deployed a proprietary chatbot called GSAi to 1,500 federal workers at the General Services Administration, WIRED has confirmed. The move to automate tasks previously done by humans comes as DOGE continues its purge of the federal workforce. GSAi is meant to support “general” tasks, similar to commercial

For 35 years, amateur and professional cryptographers have tried to crack the code on Kryptos, a majestic sculpture that sits behind CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. In the 1990s, the CIA, NSA, and a Rand Corporation computer scientist independently came up with translations for three of the sculpture’s four panels of scrambled letters. But the

The United States Army is employing a prototype generative artificial intelligence tool to identify references to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) for removal from training materials in line with a recent executive order from President Donald Trump. Officials at the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)—the major command responsible for training soldiers, developing leaders

While the improvements feel as incremental as its name suggests, GPT-4.5 is still OpenAI’s most ambitious drop to date. Released in late February as a research preview—which essentially means OpenAI sees this as a beta version—GPT-4.5 uses more computing power than its previous models and was trained on more data. So, just how big is

Chatbots are now a routine part of everyday life, even if artificial intelligence researchers are not always sure how the programs will behave. A new study shows that the large language models (LLMs) deliberately change their behavior when being probed—responding to questions designed to gauge personality traits with answers meant to appear as likeable or

In the 1980s, Andrew Barto and Rich Sutton were considered eccentric devotees to an elegant but ultimately doomed idea—having machines learn, as humans and animals do, from experience. Decades on, with the technique they pioneered now increasingly critical to modern artificial intelligence and programs like ChatGPT, Barto and Sutton have been awarded the Turing Award

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we saw an ultra-slim smartphone, a solar-powered laptop, and Google’s Astra technology baked into its Gemini assistant, coming to Android phones soon.

We must all hate booking a table at a restaurant, because it’s once again the problem tech companies are trying to solve with the power of artificial intelligence. Honor has taken the wraps off of Honor UI Agent—a “GUI-based mobile AI agent” that claims to handle tasks on your behalf by understanding the screen’s graphical

The day the Humane Ai Pin died, it was also reborn. Or at least, there was hope. On February 28, shortly after noon Pacific time, Humane switched off its servers supporting its contentious Ai Pin—essentially bricking a $700 device that was less than a year old. Minutes later, in a Discord voice chatroom labeled “The
