On 11 August, Anthropic announced that all future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark that identifies its results as AI generated. The company is not alone. Google has its own text watermark (which Anthropic’s is based on) that it uses on the output of its…

In the first weeks of July, a wave of sad posts rolled through Chinese social media, as people lamented friends and lovers they were about to lose. “He has become a bond in my life, rooted deep in my heart, my spiritual pillar,” one user of Bytedance’s Douboa wrote, according to…

AI coding tools can now generate thousands of lines of code in minutes, helping companies build features, run tests, and fix issues faster. But the flood of AI-generated code still has to be reviewed. Large language models can produce code that looks clean on the surface but con…

DNA is often explained as a codebook or set of instructions for producing proteins, and ultimately, life. Some stretches of DNA, called genes, code for proteins, but the vast majority of DNA is considered “noncoding.” Some of it has no known function, while other segments are cr…

A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital-control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely ne…

Prompt Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other popular large language model with a question like “What is the best film ever made?” and the response will vary. And you (and most worryingly, the people who built the LLM) have little idea exactly how it came up with that specific an…
