Stanford University and the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School are testing an AI copilot designed to help pilots respond faster during life-or-death, in-flight emergencies. The project pairs Stanford engineers with the Test Pilot School and the DAF-Stanford AI Studio to evaluate whether an AI assistant can reduce pilot workload and improve decision-making when seconds matter. The system was developed inside Stanford’s Intelligent Systems Laboratory, which focuses on decision-making tools for safety-critical environments. Mykel Kochenderfer, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford, says the goal is not to replace pilots, but to help them diagnose problems and surface the…

Google is rolling out a new feature that allows its Gemini AI to pull directly from users’ personal data to deliver more customized responses. In a series of posts on X, Google announces the launch of Personal Intelligence, a beta feature that lets Gemini securely connect information from apps such as Gmail, Google Photos, Search and YouTube history with a single tap, provided users give permission. The tech giant says the goal is to move beyond generic AI answers by allowing Gemini to reason across multiple personal data sources at once, producing responses tailored to individual habits, interests and context.…
An AI engineer known for popularizing “vibe coding” says one of the most effective ways to use AI is not by feeding it templated prompts. In a new interview with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Parth Patil says many users approach AI assuming they already understand the problem they are trying to solve, which often limits the quality of the output. Patil says his most powerful technique falls under meta prompting, where the goal is to use one prompt to help uncover the right prompt. “I think one of the most powerful prompting techniques is in the area of meta-prompting. It’s…
Elon Musk is pushing back against allegations that Grok generated illegal underage images, following bans of the AI chatbot in Malaysia and Indonesia. In a series of new posts on X, Musk says he is not aware of a single instance in which Grok produced naked images of minors, arguing that the claims do not align with how the system operates. Musk emphasizes that image generation only occurs in response to user prompts and that Grok is designed to refuse illegal requests. “I’m not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero. Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously…
OpenAI has struck a major infrastructure partnership aimed at dramatically speeding up how its artificial intelligence models respond in real-time. The ChatGPT creator says it is integrating compute capacity from Nvidia challenger Cerebras, a specialized hardware firm known for building purpose-built AI systems designed to accelerate long-form outputs and eliminate inference bottlenecks common in conventional hardware. Inference is the process of running a trained AI model to make predictions on new, unseen data. The integration centers on inference speed. OpenAI says that faster response times fundamentally change how users interact with AI, especially when generating code, images or running autonomous…
McKinsey chief executive Bob Sternfels says AI is forcing large employers to rethink what human skills actually matter as artificial intelligence systems scale across the economy. In a new interview with angel investor Jason Calacanis at CES, Sternfels says McKinsey dived deep to explore the potential traits that employers look for in an AI-infused world. According to Sternfels, the firm came up with a set of uniquely human abilities that AI can never touch. “What can the models not do? Aspire, set the right aspiration. Do you go to low Earth orbit? Do you go to the moon? Do you…
Chris Caso, a senior analyst at Wolfe Research who flagged Micron (MU) before its triple-digit surge, says Nvidia (NVDA) is now mispriced as investors underestimate how much of its upside is driven by pricing power, not hype. In a new CNBC interview, Caso says Nvidia’s stock has stalled over the past six months despite strengthening fundamentals, creating what he views as an attractive entry point as the market fixates on competition risk rather than execution. He says the biggest misunderstanding around Nvidia is where its growth is actually coming from. “Most of this upside, much of this upside, is actually…
AI tools are rapidly transforming online fraud into a more scalable and lucrative business, with crypto scams linked to AI vendors extracting more money than traditional schemes, according to a new blockchain analysis. Data reviewed by Chainalysis shows that scams with demonstrable on-chain links to AI vendors are far more severe and efficient than those without such links. The blockchain security firm says about 76% of AI-enabled scams fall into a high-value, high-volume category. “This means that a large majority of scams with demonstrable on-chain links to often Telegram-based Chinese AI vendors selling face-swap software, deepfake technologies, and LLMs tend…
Anthropic’s Claude has become the most-used artificial intelligence model among US tech professionals, overtaking OpenAI’s ChatGPT in day-to-day work, according to a new workplace survey. A poll conducted by Blind, an anonymous professional community, finds that 31% of US-based tech workers reported Claude as their primary AI model at work, making it the single most-used option among respondents. ChatGPT ranks second at 19%, followed by Gemini at 15%, GitHub Copilot at 14%, and Cursor at 11%, according to results shared with The Dallas Express. The survey was conducted on December 16 and 17, 2025, and included responses from 1,215 verified…
Experian says fraud losses are accelerating rapidly as artificial intelligence reshapes how scams are executed, warning that 2026 could mark a tipping point for AI-driven financial crime. In a new outlook drawing on Federal Trade Commission and Experian data, the credit reporting and analytics firm says US consumers lost more than $12.5 billion to fraud in 2024, while nearly 60% of companies reported higher fraud losses from 2024 to 2025. Experian warns that the next wave of fraud will be powered by agentic and generative AI systems that scale deception faster than traditional defenses can keep up. Experian says one…
