The Reasoning Gaps AI Models Still Cannot Close
Structured tests reveal persistent reasoning failures in frontier AI models that human cognition still navigates with relative ease.
Your Brain on AI: What Cognitive Research Says About Dependency and Capability
Emerging research examines how regular AI use is reshaping human cognition, memory, and decision-making capacity over time.
Debates Over AI Consciousness Are a Trap
The AI consciousness debate distracts operators and policymakers from the practical decisions that actually determine how AI systems affect people and organizations.
Why AI Self-Improvement Remains an Unsolved Control Problem
Recursive self-improvement in AI systems presents unresolved alignment and control risks that researchers and developers have yet to adequately address.
AI's Recursive Self-Improvement May Be Slower Than Anticipated
New analysis challenges assumptions about how quickly AI systems can improve themselves, suggesting structural limits may slow recursive progress.
Where LLM Development Is Heading and How Academic AI Research Is Shifting
The frontier of LLM development is moving beyond scale, while academic AI research is reorganizing around new priorities and constraints.
