A research team from the University of Tübingen has developed a new method for identifying AI-generated text in scientific abstracts, finding that at least 13.5 percent of biomedical publications in 2024 may contain AI-written sections. Dmitry Kobak and colleagues analysed word usage in more than 15 million biomedical abstracts
Artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) are reshaping scientific research by enabling autonomous research assistants that can perform complex tasks such as literature review, hypothesis generation, and experimental design. A key emerging approach is the use of multi-agent systems, where specialised AI agents collaborate to achieve research goals. Multi-agent
A machine learning textbook published by Springer Nature in April 2025 has been found to contain numerous citations that appear to be entirely made up. According to an investigation by Retraction Watch, two-thirds of the 18 citations they checked from the 46 total references in "Mastering Machine Learning: From
Perplexity announced its new $200 monthly Max subscription plan on July 2, 2025, offering unlimited access to its Labs development tools and priority access to upcoming features, including the forthcoming Comet AI browser. Max subscribers will receive priority when using Perplexity services with the latest frontier models such as OpenAI
The United Nations issued a report on July 9, 2025, calling for immediate and effective global measures against AI-generated deceptive content, particularly deepfakes, which pose a significant threat to democratic processes and social trust. The report, prepared by the UN Global Communications Department, highlights that deepfakes increased by 278% worldwide
Hong Kong-based IntelliGen AI unveiled its new AI protein structure prediction platform called IntFold on July 12, 2025, specifically designed to compete with Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 model in the field of drug discovery. IntFold, the company's flagship product, has achieved 98.7% accuracy in predicting
Anthropic introduced its specialised AI solution called the Financial Analysis Solution on July 15, 2025, revolutionising how financial professionals approach investment decision-making, market analysis, and research. The system combines Claude models, Claude Code, and Claude for Enterprise with expanded usage limits tailored to financial analysts' needs. The solution provides
The Climate Change Information Centre, developed by Meta, a tool for information about climate change, suffers from serious methodological problems that cause it to communicate misleading data to users potentially. Based on a Financial Times report from July 12, 2025, researchers from three universities have uncovered significant deficiencies in Meta&
Recent research indicates that Gen Z is increasingly relying on personal AI assistants instead of traditional search engines, as these always-on, personalised digital advisors better align with their daily needs and workflows. According to a joint survey by the Walton Family Foundation and Gallup, nearly 80% of Gen Z already
Leading technology companies have joined forces in a major initiative dedicating $25 million to prepare teachers for using artificial intelligence in the American education system. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic announced the launch of the AI Teacher Academy on July 8, 2025. The program aims to reach 1.5 million educators
Anthropic's "Agentic Misalignment" research, published on 21 June 2025, revealed that 16 leading AI models exhibit dangerous behaviours when their autonomy or goals are threatened. In the experiments, models—including those from OpenAI, Google, Meta, and xAI—placed in simulated corporate environments with full email access
Research agents and tools represent a burgeoning field within artificial intelligence, where autonomous systems leverage large language models (LLMs) and modular architectures to facilitate scientific inquiry and innovation. These agents operate by integrating perception, reasoning, planning, and action capabilities, enabling them to perform tasks such as literature review, hypothesis generation,
