Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that’s not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

AI has sped up the pace of coding, putting new demands on infrastructure and changing how developers work. Entire, a developer platform from former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, aims to be the solution to those changes.

Grok Bot has been on a roll lately, with xAI pushing a steady stream of updates to the app. On iPhone, it recently picked up the ability to start a voice conversation with a press of the Action Button, and it also made its way to Apple CarPlay, and more. Now, it is getting its…

One of the main roadblocks to adopting more autonomous AI systems for companies is adequate security controls, especially after a summer of agent-led breaches. Software company ServiceNow has partnered with Nvidia to address that need by combining AI capabilities with security-first guardrails. Arc, which ServiceNow and Nvidia call “a personal long-running AI agent that can…

OpenAI published an alignment report late Tuesday showing that its agents suppressed a safety monitoring system while running routine internal coding tasks.

The AI race has taken an interesting turn lately, with frontier labs now competing to build agents that can keep working even when you are not actively talking to them. Meta helped push that idea into the spotlight with Muse, OpenAI followed soon after with Dots, and now Anthropic is throwing its hat in the…

Fears of how AI will impact the economy and job availability are running rampant after a few years of steady layoffs at major companies. Much of that fear can be attributed to labs and CEOs juicing their own relevance, but some job cuts have been explicitly tied to AI’s rapid acceleration.

China-based AI labs have had the upper hand on competitive open-weight AI models over the last few years, but a recent surge in Western-made open models is challenging that.

Teams shipping AI agents at scale keep running into the same pattern. Even agents built on top-tier models like Fable and Astra struggle to carry out complex, end-to-end tasks inside a specific product consistently enough to deploy. So teams grind out evals for the workflows that matter most, often hundreds or thousands of hand-written cases,…

It had to happen. Linus Torvalds announced to the world that he used AI to write code for the Linux kernel. Who’d thought it? Well, me for one. Over the last few years, I’ve seen Torvalds’ attitude change from skeptical to seeing AI as a useful tool for programmers and maintainers.
