AI chatbots may feel creative on their own, but new research shows they often converge on the same ideas, raising concerns that relying on them could quietly narrow human creativity.
In April of 2025, OpenAI released a new version of GPT-4o, one of the AI algorithms users could select to power ChatGPT, the company’s chatbot. The next week, OpenAI reverted to the previous version. “The update we removed was overly flattering or agr…
When Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska received a Fields Medal—widely regarded as the Nobel Prize for mathematics—in July 2022, it was big news. Not only was she the second woman to accept the honor in the award’s 86-year history, but she colle…
Mathematics is often regarded as the ideal domain for measuring AI progress effectively. Math’s step-by-step logic is easy to track, and its definitive automatically verifiable answers remove any human or subjective factors. But AI systems are improvi…

Carbon Robotics’ Large Plant Model will allow farmers to kill new types of weeds without having to retrain the machines.
AI models including GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek-3.1 can mirror ingroup versus outgroup bias in everyday language, a study finds. Researchers also report an ION training method that reduced the gap.
