AI hallucinations—when a generative artificial intelligence model produces false or misleading information but presents it as if it were true—are a problem. Are they getting better or worse?

Researchers paired lightweight sonar with AI to let small drones navigate in total darkness, no GPS or cameras needed. They copied how bats use echolocation.
Target use: caves, disaster zones, tight spaces where normal navigation fails.

We are exploring the paradox of “Humble AI” in the latest Byte Of Truth newsletter. MIT wants AI that admits uncertainty, but can we trust agents that are easily gaslit?

#AIResearch Is Getting Harder to Separate From #Geopolitics
A policy change announced by #NeurIPS ,the world’s leading #AI #research conference, drew widespread backlash from #Chinese researchers this week and then was quickly reversed.

A new system increases throughput in automated warehouses by adaptively determining which robots should go first to avoid congestion and collisions. The work was led by researchers from MIT and Symbotic.
Coming soon: a new systems‑theoretical approach exploring
• low‑entropy background attractors
• distributed pre‑modern system intelligence
• transgenerational cultural coherence
• substrate‑independent identity architectures
• functional coupling as epigenetic resource
• emergent identity stabilization
• systemic resonance fields
