Why Are Large AI Models Being Red Teamed? Intelligent systems demand more than just repurposed cybersecurity tools
In February, OpenAI announced the arrival of Sora, a stunning “text-to-video” tool. Simply enter a prompt, and Sora generates a realistic video within seconds. But it wasn’t immediately available to the public. Some of the delay is because OpenAI reportedly has a set of…

AI Coding Is Going From Copilot to Autopilot But so far Devin AI and others still really need humans
A new breed of AI-powered coding tools have emerged—and they’re claiming to be more autonomous versions of earlier assistants like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and Tabnine. One such new entrant, Devin AI, has been dubbed an “AI software engineer” by its maker, applied AI lab Cognition. According…
AI Outperforms Humans in Theory of Mind Tests Large language models convincingly mimic the understanding of mental states
Theory of mind—the ability to understand other people’s mental states—is what makes the social world of humans go around. It’s what helps you decide what to say in a tense situation, guess what drivers in other cars are about to…
