Sports Illustrated has responded to claims that it published articles written by AI. The iconic sports publication places the blame at the feet of the contractor and has since removed the alleged content.
The illustrious sports magazine came under fire following an article by Futurism suggesting that at least one...

It's not difficult to find images of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang smiling, and he certainly has reason to be happy. After the crypto cash train came to a screeching halt, a tsunami of AI activity ensured that NVIDIA still has the capability to print money (figuratively, of course), especially with key investments its made...

Some of the world's top AI scientists and contributors have jointly signed a brief but ominous warning about the "urgent risks" that loom as artificial intelligence technologies gain a stronger foothold, including the "risk of extinction" (presumably to flesh and blood humans). Among those who signed the startling...

There's been a lot of discussion over whether the field of artificial intelligence should be regulated, and even calls by some prominent tech leaders to temporarily pause giant AI experiments so we, as flesh and blood humans, don't shoot ourselves in the foot. And if some of the biggest names in tech are concerned...

Microsoft has either teamed up with AMD to design custom processors for artificial intelligence tasks, or it has not. Yeah, we're not exactly going out on a limb there. But there are conflicting reports and the situation brings up an interesting question—should NVIDIA be at all nervous about a potential collaboration...

If you play The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim long enough, you'll inevitably run into repetitive dialogue, such as every guard with a sob story about having taken an arrow to the knee. Beyond that, however, it's easy to plow through the rich story and dialogue trees to where conversations become less interesting. That could...

The rush by big tech to push out AI chatbots before they're fully cooked has it feeling a little bit like the Wild West. This comes with a plethora of concerns, not of the least of which is the spread of misinformation, but there are safety and security issues at play as well. To help wrangle the suddenly rapid...

Several Google employees who tested the company's Bard AI tool prior to its release raised serious concerns to the search giant, with one person calling it a "pathological liar" and another deeming it "worse than useless," according to a concerning report. The employees even warned that Bard's advice could cause...

We all know someone who operates without a filter. Sometimes what they have to say can be comical, other times it comes off as diarrhea of the mouth. In extreme cases, it can be toxic and offensive. In real life, certain language can get a person punched in the mouth (we don't condone punching anyone, just stating the...

In case you haven't noticed, we are in the midst of an AI (artificial intelligence) revolution. To some extent, AI has been around for decades, but only recently has technology finally started to catch up with the exciting realities that AI makes possible. Or as NVIDIA put it during its GTC keynote this week, we're...

AI has been a ubiquitous buzzword for years, and it's everywhere. Mobile SoCs and desktop processors alike have been including AI acceleration for a couple of generations already, but what can an individual do, locally on their own device, with AI? Until relatively recently, not much, at least directly. Within the...

We're only a month away from NVIDIA's next GTC event (last year there were two, including one in March and a second one in September). As we approach the big day, NVIDIA has shared some additional details about what to expect. The GPU maker also confirmed that company founder and CEO Jensen Huang will be on hand to...

In a battle of artificially intelligent wits, researchers at an e-learning company pitted ChatGPT against Google Search to figure out which one is smarter and, more importantly, which can provide better answers to a broad range of questions that users might be inclined to look up on the web. The result? One is clearly...

So here's the deal, artificial intelligence is useful for a good many things, but like humans with their squishy brains AI is not infallible. Unfortunately for Google, this was put on full display in a Twitter post promoting the company's Bard chatbot, which served up false information in a short demo. Since then, the...

Artificial intelligence mostly isn't, at least not yet. Still, the artificial neural networks that humans have created are capable of some very impressive things, and you've probably seen plenty of examples of text and images created by computers that are extremely cool. What about music, though? There have been...

The scales of justice are not yet ready to be weighed and measured by robot lawyers powered by artificial intelligence. Or at least human lawyers are not ready to welcome AI into the fold. Under the threat of jail time, Joshua Browder, founder and CEO of DoNotPay, has decided not to let the "world's first robot...

The running joke whenever there's a story involving artificial intelligence is that Skynet is watching and, at times, is pleased. Or in this case, seriously displeased. The reason? United States congressman Ted W. Lieu wrote an op-ed calling for the creation of a dedicated federal agency staffed with experts to...

Everyone that does creative work, whether it's in visual art, writing, music, film, or even chemical engineering, should be concerned about AI overtaking their jobs at some point. It's not happening right now (unless you work at CNET), but it will happen eventually. "Eventually" may not mean "soon," though, and...

The same artificial intelligence (AI) tool that has been helping people cancel subscriptions, remove bogus charges, and lower their bills with little-to-no fuss is now turning its sights on fighting a speeding ticket. Pitched as the "world's first robot lawyer" by its developers, DoNotPay is headed to court, marking a...

As it was for many companies, last week was a busy one for NVIDIA, with the firm making a bunch of announcements at CES—the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti was finally made official, Ada Lovelace went mobile, and more. Now that CES week is in the rear view mirror, it's back to the usual deluge of leaks and rumors, one of which...

AMD's RDNA 3 GPU architecture found in the Radeon RX 7900 family of graphics cards was a tremendous leap in performance over the previous generation found in the Radeon RX 6000 series. Therefore, it only stands to reason that the next generation of AMD's high-performance and adaptive computing accelerators would...

IBM is showing off its first complete system-on-chip (SoC) designed to run and train deep learning models at a faster and more efficient clip than what general-purpose CPUs can achieve. Big Blue is calling it an Artificial Intelligence Unit (AIU) and one of the notable features is that clients can install it just as...
