Director Steven Spielberg was giving a talk when his Apple Watch suddenly said he'd taken a hard fall. His reaction to the false alarm ended up making matters worse.

The two companies have announced a bundle that combines, Disney+, Hulu, and Max. This is maybe not the response to #DontStreamOnMax that fans wanted.

There's no guaranteed path to safety as artificial intelligence advances, Geoffrey Hinton, AI pioneer, warns. He shares his thoughts on AI's benefits and dangers with Scott Pelley.

President Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia could exploit lithium as early as 2028 following new guarantees from Australian mining giant Rio Tinto and the EU over the controversial project, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

Large language models (LLMs), such as the GPT-4 model underpinning the widely used conversational platform ChatGPT, have surprised users with their ability to understand written prompts and generate suitable responses in various languages. Some of us may thus wonder: are the texts and answers generated by these models so realistic that they could be mistaken for those written by humans?

Even though the median U.S. CEO pay package last year was nearly 200 times more than a worker in the middle of their company pay scales, Elon Musk's record-setting Tesla compensation dwarfs them by comparison.

Get the developers' perspective on all things WWDC and Apple Intelligence in this exclusive interview with MacPaw founder — and owner of the best ever Apple museum — Oleksandr Kosovan.

One of Apple's upgrades for Safari — the Web Eraser content blocker — never became available to the public, even though it was complete and fully functional. Here's what happened along the way, what it looked like, and how it worked.

It's easy to make boot disks on old Macs for older hardware, but as the years have gone on, it's gotten a little more difficult. Here's how to make classic Mac OS 9 and early Mac OS X boot media on your modern Mac.

Audio hardware maker Sonos has removed a promise from its US user agreement that it wouldn't sell users' personal information, which went unnoticed until eagle-eyed users spotted the change.

Save $800 on the closeout M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16-inch with a bump up to 1TB of storage. Now just $1,899 with coupon (the lowest price on record).

Unlike "traditional" AI that relies on predetermined rules and patterns, generative AI is able to produce novel content—like text, video, images, and music. In a way, unlike old AI, generative AI can think outside the box. Its implications are profound and sprawling, with the potential to reshape virtually every branch of society.

The performance of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including large computational models for natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision algorithms, has been rapidly improving over the past decades. One reason for this is that datasets to train these algorithms have exponentially grown, collecting hundreds of thousands of images and texts often collected from the internet.

The debate that will steer the future of consciousness — and us.

A Boeing 737 Max suffered damage to parts of the plane's structure after it went into a "Dutch roll" during a Southwest Airlines flight last month, U.S. investigators said Friday.

Meta has paused plans to use personal data to train its artificial intelligence technology in Europe, Ireland's regulator said Friday, after the social media giant was hit with privacy complaints.

In a study published in Advanced Energy Materials, researchers have constructed a hydrogel electrolyte formula by using ClO4- anions and polyacrylamide chains to anchor water molecules, while glucose molecules preferentially regulate Zn2+ solvation.

The pressure is on for California to meet its clean-vehicle goals. In less than two years, 35% of vehicles sold must have zero tailpipe emissions. And by 2035, all light-duty vehicles sold must be zero-emissions.

In August 2021, an earthquake struck southwest Haiti, killing thousands of people and leaving more than half a million seeking help. Assessment of this disaster and its response can serve as a model for evaluating future disasters and making life-saving improvements, according to new research from a University of Notre Dame professor.

In advancing sustainable waste management and CO2 sequestration, researchers have crafted reactors that mineralize carbon dioxide with fly ash particles. This avant-garde technique is set to offer a sustainable and lasting solution to the pressing issue of greenhouse gas emissions, repurposing an industrial by-product in the process.
