Tough Takeback: MIT is retracting a widely celebrated paper that claimed AI-assisted scientists make more discoveries than their unassisted peers. The university has concluded that it has "no confidence in the provenance, reliability, or validity" of the research.
Research Revolution: Workspace productivity tool Notion just launched an AI-powered 'Research Mode' that can process and analyze internal documents and web sources, generating comprehensive reports without any manual research.
Snap Site: Alibaba’s Qwen team have dropped Web Dev, a new feature that allows users to build a professional website in a couple of minutes with just a single prompt. The tool is available on Qwen Chat, the company’s ChatGPT-like platform.
OpenAI joins plan to build data center bigger than the city of Monaco: The company has inked a deal with UAE’s G42 to build a 5-gigawatt AI campus in Abu Dhabi spanning 10 square miles as part of its global 'Stargate' initiative. The center could potentially eclipse the capacity of OpenAI's massive 1.2-gigawatt campus currently under construction in Texas. The move hasn't been without controversy though, as G42's previous Chinese connections have sparked national security concerns among officials.

New study claims spontaneous emergence of social norms among AI agents: Researchers from the University of London found that AI agents can develop shared social norms and behaviors between themselves without any explicit programming. The study also claims that “strong collective biases can emerge during this process, even when agents exhibit no bias individually.” The findings have significant implications for AI safety and for understanding how autonomous AI agents might develop social behaviors.

OpenAI unveils new coding agent in ChatGPT: The company just launched Codex, an AI coding agent that writes simple features, fixes bugs, answers questions about your codebase, and runs tests. The tool is built on a variant of OpenAI’s o3 reasoning model and can take anywhere from a minute to half an hour to complete tasks. Early users are reporting that the ability to run multiple coding tasks simultaneously is a game-changer, with the potential to make software engineering "radically different in a year or so".
