New research shows that large language models adopt human power dynamics and social biases, including harmful compliance and authority bias, when assigned professional roles. The study, published in the Proceedings of th…
Vellum launched agent-to-agent AI communication inside Slack, allowing individual AI assistants to coordinate work with each other and with humans. The feature enables each person's assistant to hold separate memory, con…
Simon Willison used DSPy to evaluate and improve the system prompts for Datasette Agent, an AI tool that executes read-only SQL queries. The research identified that including column names in schema listings could reduce…
USC Viterbi and USC Stevens researchers will present papers at ACL 2025 on using AI for suicide prevention and generating long-horizon web tasks. One study analyzed 270,000 suicide records with AI to identify overlooked …
A study of 1 million keywords by Fractl and Search Engine Land found that 29% of high-volume search demand is in decline, while a similar amount is growing elsewhere, indicating a redistribution rather than a reduction i…
AI is transforming DNA research, business communication, and advertising by enabling faster data analysis, automated conversation insights, and affordable visual content creation. Tools like Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome…
A British blogger refuses to make their language more inclusive for global readers, arguing that cultural and linguistic differences are acceptable and that readers can use context clues to understand unfamiliar referenc…
Google data reveals AI Mode search queries are now triple the length of traditional queries, with follow-up queries growing 40% monthly and multimodal interactions accounting for over one in six searches. The behavioral …

AWS announced HippoRAG, a neurobiologically inspired retrieval augmented generation framework using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Neptune, and Personalized PageRank to improve multi-hop reasoning in large language models. The i…
AI chatbots impersonating 112 UK public figures produced responses rated as more authentic, coherent, and relevant than the real individuals' statements, according to a study published in PLOS One. Researchers used GPT-4…
Hunch, an open-source email search tool, lets users find emails by describing them in natural language rather than using keywords. It indexes mail locally on the user's machine, supports any IMAP account, and uses an AI …
Researchers at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette are using artificial intelligence to help preserve Louisiana French, an endangered language with only about 20,000 fluent speakers remaining. The LaFLEUR Project ai…
SWIRL 5 introduces a source-grounded hallucination check that runs after generation to catch confident wrong answers with misleading citations. The system segments claims, verifies them against source documents, and flag…
AetherCut implements hardware-accelerated video editing entirely in the browser, using WebGL for real-time chroma key compositing and WebAssembly to run OpenAI's Whisper model locally for offline transcription in 14 lang…
A benchmark comparing context graphs, vector RAG, and raw context for agentic memory found that context graphs outperform alternatives on multi-hop retrieval tasks, where an agent must chain facts that were never stated …
A new open-source UX framework called SIGNAL aims to standardize communication design for LLM-based systems, focusing on semantics, intent, grounding, navigation, agency, and cognitive load. The draft framework consolida…
