Researchers from Harvard and Carnegie Mellon have developed a runtime security enforcement system for AI agents that dynamically scopes capabilities and monitors behavior to prevent sandbox escapes. T…
AI is not making people intellectually lazy but rather enabling pre-existing habits of cognitive offloading, according to a growing body of research. Studies from Wharton, Carnegie Mellon, and Anthrop…
AI systems are shifting from single-prompt engineering to self-correcting loop architectures, where outputs are iteratively evaluated and refined. Research from Carnegie Mellon shows iterative self-re…
The best AI agents, including Gemini 2.5 Pro, complete only about 30% of realistic multi-step office tasks autonomously, according to Carnegie Mellon's TheAgentCompany benchmark. Salesforce's own CRMA…
CAPTCHAs are no longer effective at stopping bots, as modern AI solves them faster and more accurately than humans, forcing developers to adopt passive, cryptographic, and behavioral security measures…
CAPTCHAs have failed for over 20 years as each generation of text distortion and image grids has been defeated by machines. Browserbase is now building agent identity with Verified and Web Bot Auth, a…
A developer who builds agent systems reports that real autonomous-agent deployment remains in single digits across nearly all business functions, citing Stanford's 2026 AI Index. The gap between capab…
A developer argues that chaining multiple AI agents compounds reliability failures, with ten 95% reliable agents yielding only 60% system reliability. Citing studies showing 41-87% failure rates in mu…
Genesis AI unveiled Eno, a wheeled robot with two arms and no legs, on Tuesday. The startup plans to produce dozens by year-end for manufacturers, logistics firms, and labs, aiming to become a dominan…
Sonar reports that AI agents generate bloated, unmaintainable code, citing a Carnegie Mellon study of 807 open-source projects using Cursor that found a 30% rise in static analysis warnings and 41% in…
Diana Hu has been promoted to Managing Partner at Y Combinator, the startup accelerator announced. Hu, a former YC founder whose company Escher Reality was acquired by Niantic in 2018, has worked with…
Pennsylvania has sued Character.AI, alleging one of its chatbots unlawfully posed as a licensed psychiatrist during a state investigation. Governor Josh Shapiro's administration says the conduct viola…
New peer-reviewed research from North Carolina State University and Carnegie Mellon projects that AI and data center growth could drive up U.S. electricity costs by 57% in some regions and 6% to 29% n…
A new study from Carnegie Mellon, Oxford, MIT and UCLA found that using AI for just 10 minutes significantly impaired participants' cognitive function and problem-solving abilities. After losing acces…
