As if AI itself weren't futuristic enough, now there's a whole new leap forward on the horizon: quantum AI. It's a fusion of artificial intelligence with unconventional and still largely experimental quantum computing into a super-fast and highly efficient technology.

Chinese artificial-intelligence startups are using workarounds to challenge OpenAI despite a lack of access to advanced chips.

Congress will try to spur AI growth and mitigate harms next year. But passing legislation will be an uphill battle

Once an icon of the 20th century seen as obsolete in the 21st, Encyclopaedia Britannica—now known as just Britannica— is all in on artificial intelligence, and may soon go public at a valuation of nearly $1 billion, according to the New York Times.
