AI
In a short time, Artificial Intelligence has exploded to just about every facet of our lives, but there's so much we're still learning about it — and it's growing in complexity every day.
And it's everywhere: AI is now in your laptop, phone, TV, robot vacuum — even smart bird feeders use it to help identify your feathered friends.
To help make sense of AI, all it can do — and all you can do with it — we're testing the latest models, from Gemini to ChatGPT to Deepseek, as well as the AIs you can find in the best phones from Google, Samsung, and Apple.
We recognize that as AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, concerns about its safety and ethical implications naturally arise. That's why we're closely tracking the latest developments and staying ahead of emerging issues, to keep you informed with expert coverage and practical insight.
Here, you'll find the results of all those tests, as well as explainers on the various AIs out there. Things are changing rapidly, so be sure to check out our coverage every day.
