In today's AI news, OpenAI is set to release the full o1 reasoning model sometime this year, but an unexpected leak last week means we may have already seen it in action — and it is even better than we expected.

And, the real impact of Apple AI won’t be practical but moral. It will normalize AI, make it seem less foreign or complex. It will de-associate AI from the idea of cheating or cutting corners. It will help a critical mass of users cross a threshold of doubt or mystification about AI to forge a level of comfort and acceptance of it, even a degree of reliance.

In other advancements, the idea of an “intelligence explosion” fueled by self-improving AI is not new. But—though few people have yet noticed—this concept is in fact starting to get more real. At the frontiers of AI science, researchers have begun making tangible progress toward building AI systems that can themselves build better AI systems.

And, new research highlights just how eerily artificial intelligence can re-create images based on its training data. AI trained on as little as 200 images can provide passable imitations of popular artworks, according to a new study published in Cornell University’s preprint server arXiv—highlighting just how easy it can be for AI systems to mimic copyrighted work.

In videos, Advanced Camera Control is now available for Runway's Gen-3 Alpha Turbo. The new feature lets you control both the direction and intensity of camera movements in AI-generated videos, giving you more precise control over how scenes unfold.

And, Meta is bringing the sense of touch to AI through a series of breakthrough developments that could transform everything from online shopping to prosthetic limbs. The company announced today it's partnering with GelSight and Wonik Robotics to commercialize advanced tactile sensing technology that processes touch information 30 times faster than humans.

We finally get to show the largest AI supercomputer in the world, xAI Colossus. This is the 100,000 (at the time we filmed this) GPU cluster in Memphis Tennessee that has been on the news a lot.

We close out with the future of AI is being written NOW. Will we repeat the mistakes of the past or create something better? Verity Harding (Google DeepMind, Cambridge's AI & Geopolitics Project) argues that we all need to be involved in shaping the future of AI and uses the history of other technological advances to make her case. Watch to find out what's at stake and how you can make a difference!
