AI helped them work faster and better. Then their colleagues found out. New research reveals an unexpected tension in today's workplace: using AI tools can boost performance but damage professional reputation. Data from 4,400 workers shows why many now hide their AI use
Researchers have created an AI that teaches itself complex skills without any human examples. Unlike current systems that learn from human data, this AI generates and solves its own challenges. Early tests show it outperforming traditional models - but questions remain about its limitations.
In testimony about Google's search dominance, Apple's Eddy Cue suggested AI tools may reshape how people find information online. His remarks point to changes in user behavior that could affect both companies' core businesses.
