Ford says it has hired back some human engineers after AI failed to match their skills and experience.
In a bid to reap the benefits of the tech, which developers claim can cut costs and boost productivity, the US carmaker adopted it across some parts of its operations including for quality checks.
But, according to Bloomberg, its executives said the firm has rehired more than 300 “veteran” quality inspectors in recent years to make up for the pitfalls of automated systems. — Read More

Fable is coming back: Federal government lifts export controls on Anthropic AI model
Anthropic can now bring back Fable. The U.S. Commerce Department is lifting the export controls it placed on both AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, more than two weeks ago.
In a letter sent on Tuesday to Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick writes that “Anthropic has agreed to proactively detect and address security risks associated with the models” and “to work diligently with the U.S. government on protocols and standards and releases for Mythos, Fable, and future models.” – Read More
Local Reasoning for Global Properties
In the last couple of years, I’ve increasingly been asked questions that boil down to: will AI benefit from new kinds of programming languages? My answer has been “probably not” and, so far at least, that answer has held up well: AI is now able to generate large quantities of code in just about any programming language you or I can think of.
Now that the technology has advanced, and its characteristics have started to become clearer, my answer has changed. My experience is that AI – at least as it stands right now – often generates high-quality local (e.g. a function) chunks of code, but often struggles when asked to generate code that requires a global understanding of the program. The easiest way to see this is a proliferation of unnecessary defensive checks: these seem benign, but can cause an exponential increase in the number of states later readers of the code believe can occur, with all the deleterious effects that implies.
Perhaps this struggle will soon be overcome, but if it isn’t, we might once again look to programming language design for help. — Read More
