In 2018, Microsoft said its researchers had detected evidence of their existence, an apparently major breakthrough it was forced to retract when the data was successfully challenged. Nature’s editors subsequently backed this up with the…
“I don’t think an AI model should have that kind of power over people’s lives,” Pegram says. Photograph: Alice Zoo In response to WIRED’s public records requests, Avon and Somerset Police provided a huge trove…
The sensor network is designed so the chips can be implanted into the body or integrated into wearable devices. Each submillimeter-sized silicon sensor mimics how neurons in the brain communicate through spikes of electrical activity….
Researchers have shown that a long-overlooked electrostatic force can become surprisingly powerful in a special ferroelectric fluid, causing the liquid to move in ways not seen in conventional materials. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Electrostatic forces enable low-voltage…
Dialog, the invite-only group cofounded by Peter Thiel, notified members and past event participants last week that a database containing their personal information had been breached, supposedly by a criminal hacker. But a WIRED analysis…

A classic attention test revealed that advanced AI models can lose focus when faced with longer, more demanding tasks. Unlike humans, who can stay on track despite distractions, AI systems often reverted to the wrong…
As fears about AI hacking capabilities grow, OpenAI on Monday made a slew of cybersecurity-focused announcements, including an improved version of its limited-access security-specialized model GPT-5.5-Cyber, expanded international work with governments and other institutions to…
A team of researchers at the University of Hong Kong has developed a brain-inspired chip that operates at temperatures just above absolute zero, opening a potential new path for both quantum computing and deep-space technology….
