In his new book, A World Appears, Michael Pollan argues that artificial intelligence can do many things—it just can’t be a person.

Critical labor shortages are constraining growth across manufacturing, logistics, construction, and agriculture. The problem is particularly acute in construction: nearly 500,000 positions remain unfilled in the United States, with 40% of the current workforce approaching retirement within the decade. These workforce limitations result in delayed projects, escalating costs, and deferred development plans. To address these

This episode of Uncanny Valley covers the people resigning from AI companies and the humans getting hired by AI agents. Plus, we attend a soiree thrown by a conservative women’s magazine.

In precision medicine, researchers developing diagnostic tests for early disease detection face a critical challenge: datasets containing thousands of potential biomarkers but only hundreds of patient samples. This curse of dimensionality can determine the success or failure of breakthrough discoveries. Modern bioinformatics use multiple omic modalities—genomics, lipidomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—to develop early disease detection tests.

This post is cowritten by Jeff Boudier, Simon Pagezy, and Florent Gbelidji from Hugging Face. Agentic AI systems represent an evolution from conversational AI to autonomous agents capable of complex reasoning, tool usage, and code execution. Enterprise applications benefit from strategic deployment approaches tailored to specific needs. These needs include managed endpoints, which deliver auto-scaling capabilities, foundation

You can avoid Google’s AI summaries in your search results by simply adjusting your query. Or just switch search engines altogether.

In 2025, Amazon SageMaker AI saw dramatic improvements to core infrastructure offerings along four dimensions: capacity, price performance, observability, and usability. In this series of posts, we discuss these various improvements and their benefits. In Part 1, we discuss capacity improvements with the launch of Flexible Training Plans. We also describe improvements to price performance

In 2025, Amazon SageMaker AI made several improvements designed to help you train, tune, and host generative AI workloads. In Part 1 of this series, we discussed Flexible Training Plans and price performance improvements made to inference components. In this post, we discuss enhancements made to observability, model customization, and model hosting. These improvements facilitate

Anthropic doesn’t want its AI used in autonomous weapons or government surveillance. Those carve-outs could cost it a major military contract.
