OpenAI chief Sam Altman signed a deal with tech giant Kakao in South Korea on Tuesday as the US firm seeks new alliances after Chinese rival DeepSeek shook the global AI industry.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—from the chatbots we consult for customer support to tools predicting how diseases might spread. But the computing power and energy required to power modern AI models—such as large language models (LLMs)—can make them expensive, inaccessible and environmentally taxing. A team of researchers at Rice University is working on solutions to change that.

The UK government's new plan to foster innovation through artificial intelligence (AI) is ambitious. Its goals rely on the better use of public data, including renewed efforts to maximize the value of health data held by the NHS. Yet this could involve the use of real data from patients using the NHS. This has been highly controversial in the past and previous attempts to use this health data have been at times close to disastrous.

A fresh University of Bristol study has uncovered significant safety risks associated with new ChatGPT rival DeepSeek.

A recent study conducted by University of New Hampshire researchers explored how integrating machine and deep learning techniques can create a standardized system for evaluating rock climbing routes to provide a difficulty grading scale that promotes inclusivity, accuracy and accessibility for all experience levels. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Sport and Active Living, found that the most successful approach for determining the difficulty of a rock-climbing route used route-centric, natural language processing methods.

Many people think of psychology as being primarily about mental health, but its story goes far beyond that.

What do you think there are more of: professional computer programmers or computer users who do a little programming?

OpenAI chief Sam Altman said Monday the US company has "no plans" to sue Chinese startup DeepSeek, which rattled Silicon Valley with its powerful and apparently cheaply developed chatbot.

At the Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, one of the autonomous Toyota vehicles designed to ferry people around the two-week event collided with a blind athlete at an intersection in the Olympic Village, causing minor injuries. How did the vehicle fail in its No. 1 job of not running people down?

A new framework that could help businesses better understand and use AI has been developed by researchers from the University of Sheffield.

The neural network artificial intelligence models used in applications like medical image processing and speech recognition perform operations on hugely complex data structures that require an enormous amount of computation to process. This is one reason deep-learning models consume so much energy.

US tech giant OpenAI on Monday unveiled a ChatGPT tool called "deep research" that can produce detailed reports, as China's DeepSeek chatbot heats up competition in the artificial intelligence field.

Japanese technology giant SoftBank Group and OpenAI stepped up their AI partnership Monday, setting up a 50-50 held company called SB OpenAI Japan.

Taiwan has banned workers in the public sector and at key infrastructure facilities from using DeepSeek, saying it was a Chinese product and could endanger national security.

OpenAI chief Sam Altman on Friday said his high-profile artificial intelligence company is "on the wrong side of history" when it comes to being open about how its technology works.

A humanoid robot gyrates to pulsing music at a shopping mall in Beijing, part of an exhibition harnessing artificial intelligence to enhance the flavor of China's biggest annual festival.

Since the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek released its powerful large language model R1, it has sent ripples through Silicon Valley and the U.S. stock market, sparking widespread discussion and debate.

News that artificial intelligence (AI) assistant DeepSeek can compete with models like ChatGPT and Gemini for a fraction of the cost and computing power made headlines on Jan. 27, 2025. The reporting caused technology and energy stocks to sink as much as 21% and raised questions about AI strategies.

South Korea will ask Chinese AI startup DeepSeek to clarify how it manages users' personal information, its data watchdog said Friday, joining a number of countries seeking answers.

Revolutionize humanity or destroy it? Playwright Matthew Gasda's characters, inspired by OpenAI and its famous ChatGPT, grapple with existential questions about the direction of artificial intelligence.

Italy's data protection authority on Thursday blocked access to the Chinese AI application DeepSeek to protect users' data and announced an investigation into the companies behind the chatbot.

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, is seeking to raise $40 billion in a fresh round of funding that would value the startup at a staggering $340 billion, the Wall Street Journal Reported on Thursday.

Approaches to regulating artificial intelligence (AI), from creation to deployment and use in practice, vary internationally. Daryl Lim, Penn State Dickinson Law associate dean for research and innovation, H. Laddie Montague Jr. Chair in Law and Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) co-hire, has proposed an "equity by design" framework to better govern the technology and protect marginalized communities from potential harm in an article published on Jan. 27 in the Duke Technology Law Review.

The development of vehicle components is a lengthy and therefore very costly process. Researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have developed a method that can shorten the development phase of the powertrain of battery electric vehicles by several months.

As artificial intelligence technologies develop at accelerated rates, the methods of governing companies and platforms continue to raise ethical and legal concerns.

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel, integrated modeling approach to identify and improve key interface and microstructural features in complex materials typically used for advanced batteries. The work helped unravel the relationship between material microstructure and key properties and better predict how those properties affect battery operation, paving the way for more efficient all-solid-state battery design. The research appears in the journal Energy Storage Materials.

As rising seas lap at its shore, Tuvalu faces an existential threat. In an effort to preserve the tiny island nation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, its government has been building a "digital twin" of the entire country.
