The big picture: If you're still dubious about the impact generative AI is having on the world, consider this: Open AI CEO Sam Altman recently suggested that ChatGPT's weekly active users have reached, or are very close to, one billion people. Altman said that user numbers had doubled in just a few weeks, thanks in no small part to the updated image generation feature and the incredibly popular Studio Ghibli imitations.

In the second half of 2022, when artists discovered that their work had been swept up and used to train models for AI image generators without their consent, it didn't take long for activists to organise themselves against the practice. As the raw impact of AI on artists' lives became apparent many wanted to fight back.

Large language models (LLMs) are getting better at pretending to be human, with GPT-4.5 now resoundingly passing the Turing test, scientists say. In the new , published March 31 to the preprint database but not yet peer reviewed, researchers found that when taking part in a three-party Turing test, GPT-4.5 could fool people into thinking it was another human 73% of the time.

Over the past few years, generative AI has scaled great heights and become more advanced with incredible capabilities like OpenAI's new ChatGPT-4o image generator that went viral on social media with Studio Ghibli-inspired memes. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed his disappointment with the company's GPT-admitting that it "kind of sucks" and that it's mildly embarrassing at best.

Cliff Saran, Adrian Bridgwater. According to analyst Gartner, small language models (SLMs) offer a potentially cost-effective alternative for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) development and deployment because they are easier to fine-tune, more efficient to serve and more straightforward to control.

Last year, I reported on the hype building around popular AI-powered tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google's Gemini, and more. Interestingly, statistics showed that very few people are using AI in their day-to-day lives, and that the hype around the technology is being somewhat misconstrued for actual public interest.

AI continues to improve - at least according to benchmarks. But the promised benefits have largely yet to materialize while models are increasing in size and becoming more computationally demanding, and greenhouse gas emissions from AI training continue to rise. These are some of the takeaways from the AI Index Report 2025 [PDF], a lengthy and in-depth publication from Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) that covers development, investment, adoption, governance and even global attitudes towards artificial intelligence, giving a snapshot of the current state of play.

it seems that no sooner is there a new test than the AI systems ace it. But what does that performance really mean? Do these models genuinely understand our world? Or are they merely a triumph of data and calculations that simulates true understanding? To hash out these questions, IEEE Spectrum partnered with the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.

What is prompt engineering? Answer: Prompt engineering is the practice of designing effective inputs (prompts) for large language models (LLMs) to produce accurate and relevant outputs. It involves iterative refinement, considering aspects like structure, tone, task type, and output format to guide model behavior effectively.
