Global developers have introduced a universal tool calling protocol (UTCP), allowing AI agents to directly call various tools without relying on proxy servers. Compared to traditional MCP protocols, UTCP supports native interfaces such as HTTP and gRPC, significantly reducing calling latency and complexity. The protocol retains existing enterprise security measures while providing SDKs in TypeScript and Python. Developers can participate in improving the protocol through open-source projects. UTCP has the potential to open up new pathways for AI tool integration.

AI's 'time travel' trend thrives as ChatGPT transforms childhood photos. TikTok's AI effect drew 170K users, but results vary: Musk's image was unrecognizable, Asian stars distorted, while Eddie Peng fared slightly better. Experts note AI predicts general trends, not individual changes, yet this playful tech sparks social media buzz.....

Stanford study warns of risks in AI therapy chatbots, showing stigmatization of mental conditions and inadequate crisis responses. Some AIs failed to detect dangers, giving mechanical replies. Researchers recommend auxiliary roles over replacing therapists.....

ChatGPT tests 'Study Together' feature for interactive learning, encouraging active thinking over passive answers. Supports collaboration, reduces cheating risks, showing educational potential.....

Recently, the AI Knowledge Sharing Platform 'Study What Today' (metaso.cn/study) under Metaso AI Search has launched a PPT export function under user feedback, meeting the needs of many users for sorting and sharing learning materials.

Many universities are prohibiting the use of AI to write papers. This raises questions about the future of academic integrity and how students will navigate the challenges of AI in their studies.

In the modern media landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is subtly changing how we consume news. Traditionally, news consumption was a unidirectional experience; readers passively received information. However, with the rise of chatbots, news consumption is evolving into a two-way interactive process, transforming readers from passive recipients to active participants. A growing number of readers are leveraging AI tools and chatbots to filter, summarize, and interpret news, sometimes bypassing traditional media altogether. This "conversational news" allows readers to engage with...

In education, we're taught to "show your work." Now, advanced AI models claim to do just that. However, new research reveals that these models sometimes obfuscate their true reasoning processes, fabricating elaborate explanations instead. A recent study from Anthropic's research team, investigating simulated reasoning (SR) models including their own Claude models and DeepSeek's R1, found these models often misrepresent their 'thinking' when

A new study has raised concerns that OpenAI may have used copyrighted O'Reilly Media books to train its latest AI models without permission. The study was released by the AI Disclosures Project, a non-profit organization founded in 2024 by media mogul Tim O'Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss. AI models can be viewed as sophisticated prediction engines that...

A recent study suggests that frequent users of ChatGPT tend to experience higher levels of loneliness and develop stronger emotional dependencies on the AI tool, often correlating with fewer real-life social connections. The research, a joint effort by OpenAI and the MIT Media Lab, analyzed millions of interactions with ChatGPT. Researchers note that while only a minority engage in deeply emotional exchanges with ChatGPT, these users are typically heavy users. The study found that compared to...

A recent joint study by OpenAI and MIT suggests a correlation between increased use of chatbots like ChatGPT and higher levels of loneliness and reduced social interaction. The study's findings indicate that individuals engaging in more frequent daily conversations with ChatGPT tend to report higher levels of emotional dependence, problematic usage, and significantly increased feelings of loneliness. These findings are from two studies and are yet to be peer-reviewed. Image credit: AI-generated image, licensed from Midjou.
