Scientists have just resurrected "ELIZA," the world's first chatbot, from long-lost computer code — and it still works extremely well. Using dusty printouts from MIT archives, these "software archaeologists" discovered defunct code that had been lost for 60 years and brought it back to life.

According to new research a ChatGPT bot took a graduate level course at a South Carolina University and very high scores. No one noticed.

ELIZA is famous as a rudimentary artificial intelligence and the first ever chatbot, but versions found online today are actually knock-offs because the original computer code was lost - until now

On December 21, 2024, just before 2 pm, scientists made the dead speak. ELIZA, the world’s first chatbot is back. Long imitated, but not perfectly replicated, ELIZA has long been thought lost. But scientists discovered an early version of its code in the archives of its creator in 2021 and have spent the intervening years piecing it back together.

Google says its artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini will now deliver up-to-date news from The Associated Press in the tech giant’s first such deal with a news publisher.

The companies presented the deal as a means of ensuring Mistral’s chatbot is grounded in verifiable information. It comes as Meta and Elon Musk’s X have pulled back on content moderation and declared the primacy of “free speech”, in the run-up to incoming US president Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Part counselor and part friend, Troodi talks with children about their worries and fears. “Sometimes I forget she’s not a real person,” says one teen.

The newest beta feature of ChatGPT lets you assign it tasks to get even more functionality out of the chatbot.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI launched a Grok app as it seeks to catch up to rivals like Google and OpenAI. Grok, the name of xAI’s flagship chatbot that can be used via Musk’s social media platform X, was available as a standalone app in Apple’s App Store on Thursday morning.

The Tor network is a privacy-focused system that routes internet traffic through multiple encrypted servers to hide users’ identities and locations. OnionGPT is hosted on a Tor onion service: a website that can only be accessed through Tor, offering anonymous hosting by hiding the server’s IP address.

Talking to an AI chatbot might be a fun creative exercise — or even a way to learn new things — but you must be careful not to share too much data.
