In brief A new study shows LLMs can mimic human purchase intent by mapping free-text answers to Likert ratings through semantic similarity. Method achieved 90% of human test–retest reliability on 9,300 real survey responses. The study raises questions about bias, generalization, and how far “synthetic consumers” can stand in for real people. Forget focus groups:…
In brief Researchers at Allameh Tabataba’i University found models behave differently depending on whether they act as a man or a woman. DeepSeek and Gemini became more risk-averse when prompted as women, echoing real-world behavioral patterns. OpenAI’s GPT models stayed neutral, while Meta’s Llama and xAI’s Grok produced inconsistent or reversed effects depending on the…
In brief The Model Behavior division, led by Joanne Jang, introduced a framework to quantify and reduce political bias in large language models. GPT-5 Instant and GPT-5 Thinking displayed 30% less bias than earlier versions when tested against 500 politically charged prompts. The findings underscore OpenAI’s attempt to counter perceptions that AI systems lean politically…
In brief Nearly every major social platform now relies on AI for ranking, ad targeting, moderation, and engagement optimization. A 2025 report found 96% of social media professionals use AI tools—72.5% daily—to generate and manage content. Analysts forecast the AI-in-social-media market to triple by 2030, embedding algorithmic influence deeper into online discourse. Large language models…
In brief Bernie Sanders is calling for a 32-hour work week and a “robot tax” on corporations. Lawmakers are split over whether his plan helps or hinders tech growth. Experts say AI’s speed and long-term job impact remains uncertain. In a YouTube video released Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned that artificial intelligence could…
In brief AI drove 92% of U.S. GDP growth, according to Harvard’s Jason Furman. Bank of England flagged stretched valuations reminiscent of the dot-com era. Elon Musk’s xAI raised $20 billion for a new data-center, with bulls and bears debating whether AI is a bubble or not. What happens when artificial intelligence becomes both the…
In brief YZi Labs, formerly known as Binance Labs, is kickstarting a $1 billion builders fund for those looking to develop long-term on BNB Chain. The fund will support builders in areas like trading, real-world assets, artificial intelligence, DeSCI, and DeFi. The firm is merging its EASY Residency program with BNB Chain’s incubator “MVB” to…
In brief LiDAR, sensors, and AI models convert exoskeleton motion into robot-ready actions. Study shows robots can gain new skills from exoskeleton data alone, cutting costs. A Unitree G1 learned to walk after just five teleoperated demonstrations. A research team from China’s National University of Defense Technology and appliance maker Midea Group aims to solve…
In brief Eliza Lab’s Walters said fully autonomous trading agents are not investment-ready and perform best as interfaces that structure unstructured data into executable actions. Eliza is building a “marketplace of trust” that paper-buys shilled tokens to score users’ calls, and an agent-run OTC desk with smart-contract guardrails. He framed the token migration and cloud…
In brief OpenAI’s new SDK lets developers build interactive tools that run inside chats, integrating services like Expedia, Canva, and Zillow. A drag-and-drop interface via AgentKit enables creation of autonomous AI agents—workflows that reason, retrieve data, and act within OpenAI’s ecosystem. Together the features shift ChatGPT from chatbot to software platform, aiming to anchor developers—and…
