A recent study from Oregon State University estimated that more than 3,500 animal species are at risk of extinction because of factors including habitat alterations, natural resources being overexploited, and climate change. To better understand these changes and protect vulnerable wildlife, conservationists like MIT PhD student and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researcher Justin […]

OpenAI has committed to buying billions of dollars worth of compute from AWS—the latest in a string of major deals brokered by the AI startup.

In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we run through the top stories of the week and dive into why the promise of a tech-forward school in Texas with software instead of teachers fell apart.

Your friend came to you because they respect your knowledge and opinion, and outsourcing the answer to a machine is lazy and rude. Just answer them yourself.

In high-volume healthcare contact centers, every patient conversation carries both clinical and operational significance, making accurate real-time transcription necessary for automated workflows. Accurate, instant transcription enables intelligent automation without sacrificing clarity or care, so that teams can automate electronic medical record (EMR) record matching, streamline workflows, and eliminate manual data entry.

Even more, they must solve

Enterprises in regulated industries often need mathematical certainty that every AI response complies with established policies and domain knowledge. Regulated industries can’t use traditional quality assurance methods that test only a statistical sample of AI outputs and make probabilistic assertions about compliance. When we launched Automated Reasoning checks in Amazon Bedrock Guardrails in preview at

In a motion to dismiss filed earlier this week, Meta denied claims that employees had downloaded pornography from Strike 3 Holdings to train its artificial intelligence models.

Everyone is obsessed with artificial general intelligence—the stage when AI can match all feats of human cognition. The guy who named it saw it as a threat.
