The New Rules for the World's Biggest AI Models (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of TechUnhinged , host Rabia Javeed sits down with Risto Uuk , Head of European Policy and Research at the Future of Life Institute , who has spent five years on the Act's general-purpose AI rules.

The Efficiency Trap In AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of TechUnhinged , host Rabia Javeed sits down with Charath Ranganathan , Chief Technology Officer at CoreStory , which builds tools that pull specifications out of legacy codebases.
