The Next Evolution of AI Is Learning From Your Dodgy Gaming Skills (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the twirl of a thumbstick, squeeze of a trigger, and press of a few buttons, even an unskilled player can dance their way through a 3D video game environment. A British startup is wagering that straightforward sequences like these contain a trove of information that can be used to train new artificial intelligence models. There is a growing belief in corners of the AI industry that large language models will ultimately be limited by their inability to navigate the physical world. Trained on

When Petra Ferraz de Novaes isnât at work, sheâs probably lost in a fantasy crafted with the help of artificial intelligence. Novaes, a 36-year-old software engineer from Brazil, has always loved storytelling. But making every little decision that goes into itâfrom style and syntax to character developmentâfelt impossible. So in 2024 she asked an AI model to bring one of her ideas to life. Novaes was delighted by the eccentric, sometimes wayward interpretations of her prompts, which carr
The UK Power Grid Has a Phantom Data Center Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As data center developers compete for a cut of the hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into the artificial intelligence industry, the queue to join the UK’s power grid has become jammed with projects that will likely never get built. The snarl is exacerbating already years-long wait times for viable projects, and it's messing with attempts to forecast energy demand and plan grid expansions. In July, the UK’s energy regulator, Ofgem, laid out a proposal meant to force phantom data centers out

Read excerpt
The UK government has six months to decide whether to terminate a deal worth more than $400 million between the country’s National Health Service and American software company Palantir. If one part of the NHS is already doing without Palantir, politicians are asking, why can’t the rest of the country? In 2023, the UK commissioned Palantir to develop a “federated data platform” (FDP) that could ingest and organize the tangle of health data produced across the country. According to Palantir and th

David Silver is a billionaire, sort of. His stake in Ineffable Intelligence—the artificial intelligence lab he founded—is worth an ungodly fortune. But he stands to collect none of that money himself. He set things up that way. Between 2013 and 2025, Silver worked as a researcher at Google DeepMind. He specialized in reinforcement learning, a method of teaching an AI model through positive and negative feedback. In 2016, he led the development of AlphaGo, which became the first AI to defeat a hu
