Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems rely on input from people. Human feedback helps train models to perform useful tasks, guides them toward safe and responsible behavior, and is used to assess their performance. While hailing the recent AI advancements, we should also ask: which humans are we actually talking about? For AI to be most […]
In recent years, machine learning has enabled tremendous advances in urban planning and traffic management. However, as transportation systems become increasingly complex, due to factors like increased traveler and vehicle connectivity and the evolution of new services (e.g., ride-sharing, car-sharing, on-demand transit), finding solutions continues to be difficult. To better understand these challenges, cities are
We’re announcing new updates to Gemini 2.0 Flash, plus introducing Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite and Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental.
Our next iteration of the FSF sets out stronger security protocols on the path to AGI AI is a powerful tool that is helping to unlock new breakthroughs and make significant progress on some of the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to drug discovery. But as its development progresses, advanced capabilities may
Podcast Transcript Bob – 0:00 Right Then today we’re taking a deep dive into something. You sent over a rather cheeky article from the AI blog asking, what is Elon Musk’s IQ? Oh, right, yeah, the chap, of course, Tesla, SpaceX, xAI all that. Now, yeah, we all have a sense that Musk is a
A simple but effective approach to improve long-context understanding Previous studies have mainly explored two major directions: input reduction and window extension. Input reduction reduces the length of the input context — for example, by directly truncating the input — before feeding to downstream LLMs. RAG extends this direction by breaking the input into chunks

Humans possess a remarkable ability to localize sound sources and perceive the surrounding environment through auditory cues alone. This sensory ability, known as spatial hearing, plays a critical role in numerous everyday tasks, including identifying speakers in crowded conversations and navigating complex environments. Hence, emulating a coherent sense of space via listening devices like headphones
Introduction to intellectual property Intellectual property is our ownership of ideas and things we have created such as art, music or even films, but most often they are things we have trademarked from business that we previously or currently own. These are all legally binding and protect you if someone tried to steal these ideas
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, the landscape is becoming increasingly competitive and ethically fraught. Companies like Anthropic, which have missions centered on developing “safe AI,” face unique challenges in an ecosystem where speed, innovation, and unconstrained power are often prioritized over safety and ethical considerations. In this post, we explore whether such companies
