A group of scientists from across the U.S. claim to have created the first artificial intelligence capable of generating AI without human supervision.

Artificial intelligence models can now create smaller AI systems without the help of a human, according to research published Friday by a group of scientists who said the project was the first of its kind.

Essentially, larger AI models — like the kind that power ChatGPT — can create smaller, more specific AI applications that can be used in everyday life, a collaboration between Aizip Inc. and scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several University of California campuses demonstrated. Those specialized models could help improve hearing aids, monitor oil pipelines and track endangered species.

The teacher shortage crisis is a major concern, casting a shadow on educational quality across the globe. In this academic climate, the rise of AI in the classroom sparks both hope and skepticism. Alpha school is leading the way, devoid of traditional teachers and reliant on its AI-powered curriculum and “guide” system. This innovative approach offers a glimpse of a promising future where technology and human ingenuity merge to redefine education.

AI has become a game-changer in education by customizing learning experiences according to students’ individual learning styles and paces. Alpha’s app-based tutoring system is a prime example of this. It is personalized for each student’s strengths and weaknesses, a significant departure from the traditional “one-size-fits-all” classroom approach. For instance, consider a child who struggles with math concepts. AI can modify the exercises and explanations to suit their learning style, enabling them to understand the material better.

Moreover, this AI-driven education system offers instant and detailed feedback, which may be lacking in some schools. Such immediate response fosters a deeper understanding and encourages a more engaged learning process. This level of individualized attention is a powerful tool for enhancing knowledge and engagement.

DeepMind’s FunSearch discovers new mathematical knowledge and algorithms.


Google DeepMind has triumphantly cracked an age-old mathematical mystery using a method called FunSearch.

The math problem that FunSearch has solved is the famous cap set problem in pure mathematics, which has stumped even the brightest human mathematicians.

The operation cost for the Digit robot is reportedly estimated to be in the range of $10 to $12 per hour.


In a significant leap toward the future, humanoid robots are quietly but steadily becoming an integral part of our daily lives, taking on a myriad of tasks that were once solely the domain of living beings. From assisting with household chores to working alongside humans in professional settings, these machines are slowly reshaping how we live and work.

One of the largest logistics providers, GXO Logistics, has introduced another instance of humanoid robots in warehouse operations by deploying Agility Robotics’ Digit. The robot is undergoing a pilot testing program for logistics tasks at the SPANX facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia.

Over the past 8.5 years, its predecessor, the K5, has successfully patrolled diverse locations across the US, contributing significantly to crime reduction and ensuring safety in various environments, claims the firm.


Knightscope, a prominent developer of autonomous security robots, has officially commenced the shipment of its highly anticipated 5th Generation K5 Autonomous Security Robot (ASR), the company announced in a press release.

This represents a significant milestone for the company and marks a thorough redesign to elevate the flagship ASR’s capabilities. Production is in full swing at Knightscope’s Silicon Valley Headquarters. It is proudly made in America, with machines ready to fulfill nationwide contracts.
