OpenAI's Sam Altman: Global AI regulation'urgently' needed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the world "urgently" needs global regulation of fast-evolving AI, calling for an international oversight body. The "democratisation of AI is the only fair and safe path forward," he said.

'We May Have a Crisis on Our Hands': The Unregulated Rise of Emotionally Intelligent AI Pillay is an editorial fellow at TIME. Pillay is an editorial fellow at TIME. At least once a month, two-thirds of people who regularly use AI turn to their bots for advice on sensitive personal issues and emotional support. Many people now report trusting their chatbots more than their elected representatives, civil servants, faith leaders--and the companies building AI. That's according to data from 70 countries, gathered by the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP).

Google's Gemini app now features AI music generation through the new Lyria 3 model, allowing users to create 30-second songs from text, images, or videos.

To do so, we first form a family of unnormalized densities (or a "path") parameterized by 2 [0, 1] between the two distributions of interest

For decades, handmade narco subs have been some of the cocaine trade's most elusive and productive workhorses, ferrying multi-ton loads of illicit drugs from Colombian estuaries toward markets in North America and, increasingly, the rest of the world. Now off-the-shelf technology--Starlink terminals, plug-and-play nautical autopilots, high-resolution video cameras--may be advancing that cat-and-mouse game into a new phase. Uncrewed subs could move more cocaine over longer distances, and they wouldn't put human smugglers at risk of capture. And law enforcement around the world is just beginning to grapple with what this means for the future. This story is from the next print issue of magazine, which is all about crime. Google DeepMind is calling for the moral behavior of large language models--such as what they do when called on to act as companions, therapists, medical advisors, and so on--to be scrutinized with the same kind of rigor as their ability to code or do math.

Diffusion models (DMs) have been significantly developed and widely used in various applications due to their excellent generative qualities.

While these advances use different algorithmic techniques, e.g., contrastive learning, diffusion, or auto-regressive modeling, they all rest on a common foundation: large datasets containing paired image-text examples.

PCWorld examines OpenClaw, an AI agent developed by Peter Steinberger that recently gained OpenAI backing through an acquisition. This autonomous tool can read, edit, delete files and build programs with system-level access, demonstrating powerful agentic AI capabilities. Despite its potential for unprecedented automation, OpenClaw poses significant security risks including data deletion and prompt injection vulnerabilities, making immediate installation inadvisable for newcomers. A month ago, practically no one had heard about Peter Steinberger's personal AI side project. Now it's taken the AI world by storm, and it just got the backing of none other than OpenAI itself. First known as Clawdbot and later as Moltbot, the now re-rebranded OpenClaw served as an "I know Kung Fu" moment for its earliest users, who were jolted by the capabilities and potential of the AI-powered tool. Put another way, OpenClaw took what had previously been an abstract concept--"agentic AI"--and made it real. It's exciting and even vertiginous stuff, and if this story marks the first time you've heard of OpenClaw, you absolutely, positively shouldn't install it.

We refer to the proposed solution as SA3D, for Segment Anything in 3D. It is only required to provide a manual segmentation prompt ( e.g., rough points) for the target object in a single view, which is used to generate its 2D mask in this view with SAM.
