• AI hallucinations—the generation of plausible but false information—are being leveraged as innovative tools in scientific discovery. Despite their potential inaccuracies, these unexpected outputs are sparking new ideas and accelerating research, particularly in fields like medicine and climate science. Scientists are finding value in these AI-generated "hallucinations" for generating hypotheses and exploring unconventional ideas.

• AI model from OpenAI, called o3, has achieved human-level performance on a general intelligence test. The model scored 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, surpassing previous AI results and matching the average human score. This breakthrough suggests significant progress towards artificial general intelligence (AGI), sparking excitement and debate among researchers about the future implications of such advanced AI systems.

• Microsoft is diversifying its AI offerings by incorporating internal and third-party models into its Microsoft 365 Copilot products, reducing reliance on OpenAI's technology. This move aims to lower costs and improve efficiency, potentially passing savings to customers. Despite these changes, OpenAI remains a key partner for Microsoft's most advanced AI models.

• Artificial intelligence is transforming education for students with disabilities. AI-powered tools like text-to-speech, word prediction, and customized chatbots are helping students overcome challenges related to visual, speech, language, and hearing impairments. Schools are prioritizing the integration of these technologies, although they are still learning how to best harness AI to support these students.

• 10 crucial things you should never share with an AI chatbot to protect your privacy and security. These include passwords, personal information (like your name or address), sensitive financial details, medical data, and explicit content. Do not share confidential work information, security question answers, and illegal requests, as these can lead to serious consequences.
