Artificial intelligence is moving beyond systems that simply answer questions or generate content. Increasingly capable models can use digital tools, execute multistep workflows, write and run code, retrieve information, and make decisions that affect real-world operations. As these systems gain greater autonomy, a fundamental question is becoming harder to ignore: how can organizations ensure that powerful AI remains controllable when its behavior becomes unpredictable? Microsoft CEO Satya...

Meta is taking its Muse AI agent beyond the conventional chatbot interface and into the physical world with Muse Gadgets, an open-source initiative that allows developers and hobbyists to build custom hardware connected to Muse. The move could prove more strategically important than the hardware itself because it gives Meta a way to experiment with how people will interact with AI agents outside smartphones, browsers and conventional applications. The initiative provides open-source firmware,...

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond the traditional boundaries of software development, data analysis and digital automation. One of its most consequential frontiers is biology, where AI systems can analyze enormous collections of genetic information, identify patterns that are difficult for humans to detect, generate hypotheses and help scientists decide which biological mechanisms deserve experimental investigation. Anthropic is now attempting to turn that potential into a repeatable...
