In today’s AI news, AI or Not is on a mission to protect individuals and organizations from the risks of generative AI misuse. AI or Not, a widely covered AI fraud detection platform, has raised $5 million in a seed funding round to accelerate its use of “AI to detect AI” in images, audio video and deepfakes to prevent fraud and misinformation.

Layoffs And, AI media tech provider Runway has announced the release of Frames, its newest text-to-image generation model, and it’s winning early praise from users for producing highly cinematic visuals — a fitting compliment given Runway is known primarily as an AI video model provider. Could Frames dethrone Midjourney as the go-to choice?

In other advancements, ChatGPT maker OpenAI has finalized a version of its new reasoning AI model o3 mini and would be launching it in a couple of weeks, CEO Sam Altman said on Friday. The Microsoft-backed company has considered user feedback and, consequently, plans to release the API and ChatGPT simultaneously, Altman wrote.

In videos, character consistency has never been easier! Now you can use just a single image to generate consistent AI videos. Hailuo (Minimax) Subject Reference is AMAZING. In this tutorial they show you how to use it, creative use cases and a honest review. Enjoy!

When super intelligence happens technology will greatly advance we must merge with this technology.

The Nobel Prize winning ‘Godfather of AI’ speaks to Newsnight about the potential for AI “exceeding human intelligence” and it “trying to take over.”

Geoffrey Hinton, former Vice President of Google and sometimes referred to as the ‘Godfather of AI’, has recently won the 2024 Nobel Physics Prize. He resigned from Google in 2023, and has warned about the dangers of machines that could outsmart humans.

In May 2024, Faisal Islam spoke to the professor for Newsnight.

Newsnight is the BBC’s flagship news and current affairs TV programme — with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.

Grok, the AI assistant integrated into the X platform, has been released as a standalone app, expanding its reach beyond the social media site. Developed by xAI, the app retains its signature conversational tone, which the company describes as “humorous and engaging.” Grok allows users to generate images, summarise text, and answer questions.

Initially launched in December 2024 for a limited set of users, the Grok app builds on X’s rollout of a free tier for the AI assistant. Previously, access to Grok was tied to an X Premium subscription, starting at $8 per month. The free tier allows 10 requests every two hours and three image analysis requests per day — restrictions that may also apply to the standalone app.

Users can sign in to the app using Apple, Google, or X accounts, or simply by email. It’s unclear if X Premium subscribers gain additional benefits when using the Grok app, as they do on X.

Columbia researchers created an AI model that predicts gene activity in any human cell, advancing disease research and treatment. It has already uncovered mechanisms behind pediatric leukemia and may reveal hidden genome functions.

Researchers at Columbia University.

Columbia University is a private Ivy League research university in New York City that was established in 1754. This makes it the oldest institution of higher education in New York and the fifth-oldest in the United States. It is often just referred to as Columbia, but its official name is Columbia University in the City of New York.
