WIRED’s advice columnist considers whether some AI tools are more ethical than others, and if developers can make AI wiser.
- Continuous skill acquisition in robots: New framework mimics human lifelong learning
Humans are known to accumulate knowledge over time, which in turn allows them to continuously improve their abilities and skills. This capability, known as lifelong learning, has so far proved difficult to replicate in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics systems.
- How One AI Startup Founder Cornered Microsoft Into Finally Taking Down Explicit Videos of Her
Breeze Liu has been a prominent advocate for victims. But even she struggled to scrub nonconsensual intimate images and videos of herself from the web.
- Forcing UK creatives to 'opt out' of AI training risks stifling new talent, report suggests
The UK government should resist allowing AI companies to scrape all copyrighted works unless the holder has actively "opted out," as it puts an unfair burden on up-and-coming creative talents who lack the skills and resources to meet legal requirements.
- Breaking down Grok 3: The AI model that could redefine the industry
Grok-3 still hasn't fully shipped yet. But it will surely set the tone for how other AI labs release future models.
- Xbox Pushes Ahead With Muse, a New Generative AI Model. Devs Say ‘Nobody Will Want This’
One developer responds to the release of Muse: “We are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives.”
- Xbox’s AI initiative with Muse is an attempt to read the tea leaves, not the room

- Machine learning accelerates discovery of membranes to filter PFAS from water
Someday, your drinking water could be completely free of toxic "forever chemicals." These chemicals, called PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), are found in common household items like makeup, nonstick cookware, dental floss, batteries, and food packaging. PFAS permeate the soil, water, food, and air, and they can remain in the environment for millennia. Once inside the human body, PFAS can persist for years, suppressing the immune system and increasing cancer risk.
- AI tool creates 3D video game worlds with iterative design
A generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively is presented in a Nature paper. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust three-dimensional (3D) worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for.
- This USAID Program Made Food Aid More Efficient for Decades. DOGE Gutted It Anyways

- Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way
Researchers find large language models process diverse types of data, like different languages, audio inputs, images, etc., similarly to how humans reason about complex problems. Like humans, LLMs integrate data inputs across modalities in a central hub that processes data in an input-type-agnostic fashion.
