An MIT Technology Review article, produced with the nonprofit Aventine, argues that recent advances in AI-powered robotics, including viral humanoid robot videos, will not transform daily life in the near term.
Since AI became widely available in November 2022, hiring of 21- to 29-year-olds has shrunk in the jobs most exposed to it. The finding comes from a joint study by the Banque de France and an HEC-affiliated lab on the future of work.
MIT Technology Review will hold a discussion on Oct. 16 with Samuel King, who as a Stanford PhD student used a generative AI model in 2025 to propose genetic blueprints for microscopic viruses. The event asks whether AI could design new life forms.
A Hugging Face post describes fine-tuning NVIDIA’s Nemotron models to reach gold-level results at the International Olympiad in Informatics and the International Mathematical Olympiad.
InstaDeep, founded in Tunis in 2014, was bought by BioNTech in 2023 for up to £562 million, the largest acquisition of an African startup. It has since become the group’s AI engine, with the Kyber supercomputer and genomic models such as Nucleotide Transformer.
More than three dozen mathematicians told The Verge they were stunned by the volume of mathematical results OpenAI released this week. They expect it will take years to assess them fully.
