If you work in a biology lab or study wet-lab science, you might soon see AI helping with daily experiments. OpenAI has released BioBasicsBench, a new benchmark that measures how well AI agents handle 100 common lab tasks, from interpreting raw experimental data to routine wet-lab procedures. The benchmark is designed to evaluate whether AI can reliably assist with the kind of hands-on science tha…
A researcher has used AI-powered reverse engineering to reveal how Samsung smart TVs track users. The method reportedly makes it faster and easier to uncover how devices gather and share personal information.
What steps do you take to limit data collection from your smart home devices?
Researchers probing the inner workings of AI systems have identified a signal they describe as a 'pain' response. When this signal was amplified, the models overrode their own safeguards. The study is careful to note this does not mean AI can actually suffer. Still, the finding is unsettling because it shows safety measures can be bypassed.
