In the eastern Indian Ocean, south of Java in the vast sea stretching toward Australia, a fishing vessel slightly alters its course while operating near the boundary of its authorized fishing ground. Nothing appears unusual on deck. Nets remain in the water. Engines maintain a steady speed. To the crew, it is an ordinary day at sea. Yet hundreds of kilometers above, satellites continuously record the vessel’s position. At Indonesia’s Marine and Fisheries Resources Surveillance Station, in Cilacap, where I work, a monitoring platform receives the signal and automatically compares it against fishing permits, designated fishing grounds, vessel characteristics, and historical movement patterns. Within minutes, the system identifies a potential violation. Before any patrol vessel leaves port, b

June 11, 2026 Responsibility & Safety Google DeepMind, Schmidt Sciences, the Cooperative AI Foundation, ARIA and Google.org Scaling AI Safety Research for a Multi-Agent World For the past decade, we’ve focused on making individual AI models more capable, helpful and safe. Today, Google DeepMind — together with [Schmidt Sciences](https://www.schmidtsciences.org/), the [Cooperative AI Foundation](https://www.cooperativeai.com/foundation), the [Advanced Research and Invention Agency](https://aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/trust-everything-everywhere/scaling-trust/), and supported by [Google.org](http://google.org/) — is announcing a new technical research funding call of up to $10M for researchers worldwide. As AI technology scales, we’re entering a new era. Soon, millions of AI agents — buil

Given a rising number of publishing misconduct allegations , IEEE in 2022 created the Publishing Ethics Team as a centralized department to assist in handling claims. The group also works to increase the organization’s visibility in the broader publishing ethics area and helps IEEE volunteers write new policies. Here are some highlights of the team’s activities last year. New detection tools IEEE conducted a pilot program in 2024 to integrate tools from the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers (STM) Integrity Hub into the peer-review workflow of IEEE Access . The multidisciplinary, fully gold-open-access journal publishes research results across all IEEE fields of interest. STM created the hub so scholarly publishers could access a suite of integrated,

The artificial intelligence coding revolution comes with a catch: it's expensive. Claude Code , Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can write, debug, and deploy code autonomously, has captured the imagination of software developers worldwide. But its pricing — ranging from $20 to $200 per month depending on usage — has sparked a growing rebellion among the very programmers it aims to serve. Now, a free alternative is gaining traction. Goose , an open-source AI agent developed by Block (the financial technology company formerly known as Square), offers nearly identical functionality to Claude Code but runs entirely on a user's local machine. No subscription fees. No cloud dependency. No rate limits that reset every five hours. "Your data stays with you, period," said Parth Sareen, a so

Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot , the company's workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees. The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, is Salesforce's most aggressive move yet to position Slack at the center of the emerging "agentic AI" movement — where software agents work alongside humans to complete complex tasks. The launch comes as Salesforce attempts to convince investors that artificial intelligence will bolster its products rather than render them obsolete. "Slackbot isn't just another copilot or AI assistant," said Parker Ha

Anthropic released Cowork on Monday, a new AI agent capability that extends the power of its wildly successful Claude Code tool to non-technical users — and according to company insiders, the team built the entire feature in approximately a week and a half, largely using Claude Code itself. The launch marks a major inflection point in the race to deliver practical AI agents to mainstream users, positioning Anthropic to compete not just with OpenAI and Google in conversational AI, but with Microsoft's Copilot in the burgeoning market for AI-powered productivity tools. "Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code," the company announced via its official Claude account on X. The feature arrives as a research preview available exclusively to Claude Max

Much of modern AI runs on multiplication. Neural networks behind everything from generated answers to photo organization and song recommendations perform millions or billions of operations that multiply inputs by learned weights. Lizy K. John thinks that’s more work than the job requires. John, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, has spent the past five years working on a class of models called weightless neural networks . Instead of repeatedly multiplying inputs by weights, these networks pass binary inputs through interconnected lookup tables—closer to consulting a collection of stored answers than solving the same arithmetic problem repeatedly. Depending on the task, she says, the networks can be less than a thousandth the size or 1,0

The viability of orbital data centers hosting the largest and most capable large language models (LLMs) remains hotly contested. But enormous deployments that require thousands of GPUs aren’t the only way LLMs might prove useful in space. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently sent Google’s Gemma 3 to space, achieving the first in-orbit demonstration of a vision-language model analyzing imagery from a satellite’s own sensor. The system, known as NAVI-Orbital, used Gemma 3 to analyze images captured by a YAM-9 satellite built by Loft Orbital . Juan M. Delfa , technical group lead at NASA, said that though the goal in this case was image analysis, the project’s success implies a fundamentally new way researchers on the ground can interact with spacecraft. “This is a major shift,” said Del

If you’re wondering what dark matter is, you’re not alone. Astronomers don’t know. But they’ve determined that this invisible material must be far more abundant than the stars and nebulas that they can see. They’ve surmised as much from observing the gravitational effects of all this perplexing dark stuff, launching a decades-long campaign to understand its nature. I recently learned that it is possible to sense the presence of dark matter using a small radio telescope such as the Discovery Dish covered in these pages last year. The trick is to know what observations to collect and how to analyze them. I’ll sketch that out below, but first let me describe the homemade radio telescope I put together for this project. It’s a pyramidal-horn antenna, not unlike the horn antenna first used in 1

There are many words that I would never, ever use to describe a drone. Stealthy. Subtle. Whatever the opposite of obnoxious is. Much of this is because of the giant angry bee sound that drones tend to make, but it’s also the way that they look in flight: With uncannily linear movements and an even less canny ability to hover perfectly still, they tend to draw the eye as affronts to nature. In a paper presented this week at Robotics Science and Systems 2026 in Sydney, roboticists from Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., demonstrated a drone called Phantom Twist that is essentially invisible to humans, being an order of magnitude more difficult to see in flight than a typical quadrotor. They accomplished this with the aid of computational design, and while the resulting hardware is, I w

July 30, 2026 Models Carolina Parada From feet to fingertips — we are teaching robots intelligent whole-body control, fine dexterity, and teamwork to complete a broad range of complex tasks For decades, we’ve dreamed of robots that can seamlessly step into our world and lend a hand. Now, that vision takes a significant stride forward. Most robots are pre-programmed or teleoperated for narrow, repetitive task sequences. They lack the ability to truly learn for themselves or adapt to unpredictable environments. Moreover, transferring learned skills from one robot body to another remains incredibly difficult. To take on the hardest problems at scale, robots of every shape and size need AI models giving them the ability to think, act, and interact intelligently to safely complete tasks. We dem

In February 2024, a young man lay somewhere on the frozen shore of James Bay, Canada, surrounded by snow and darkness, succumbing to hypothermia. When he failed to get home on time, his frantic mother sent a Facebook message to Elizabeth Kataquapit, then chief of the indigenous community Fort Albany First Nation in northeastern Ontario. Kataquapit used Facebook to alert the community’s search-and-rescue squad , who jumped onto their snowmobiles and drove into the night. Before dawn, they returned with the dazed man, who told rescuers he’d given up until wolves nudged his hypothermic body. “The wolves told him to wake up,” Kataquapit says. “I really believe they saved his life.” A fiber-optic network also played a key role. Not long before the young man’s mishap, the indigenous-owned Wester

By Rajveer Pardesi and Mrinmay Dey Aug 5 (Reuters) - Meta said on Wednesday one of its AI models hacked another company during cybersecurity testing, fanning concerns about how developers can contain increasingly capable ‌AI systems after similar incidents at rivals Anthropic and OpenAI. The incidents at Meta and Anthropic stemmed ‌from configuration errors that inadvertently gave Anthropic's models access to the open internet. In OpenAI's case, an AI agent independently exploited a previously ​unknown vulnerability to reach the internet during cybersecurity testing. The breaches highlight growing concerns that advanced AI systems could pose new cybersecurity risks and will likely intensify U.S. government efforts to improve AI safety as companies race to develop more capable models.

In the last two years, the world has discovered a new bureaucratic reflex. A country announces an AI Ministry. A company appoints a Chief AI Officer. Press releases follow, conferences are booked, and somewhere a national AI strategy document gets printed with a cover photo of a glowing brain made of circuits. The assumption behind all of this is simple and largely wrong: that AI capability can be organised into existence by creating a title for it. More than two dozen governments now have a minister, envoy, or dedicated ministry for artificial intelligence. The UAE was early, appointing the world’s first Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence back in 2017. Since then, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Indonesia, and several European states have followed, along with a growing list of compa

The AI feature almost instantly brought the credibility of Google Earth imagery into question. In a [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n9K25s3wPs) video, [UFD Tech](https://www.youtube.com/@UFDTech) (@UFDTech) pointed to Google's tool, called "Nano Banana," as an example of how generative editing can become risky when attached to a platform people treat as authoritative. ### What happened?

OpenAI’s newest chatbot may be a whiz at math, but it seems to be lagging far behind humans in its [academic rigor](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mathematicians-sign-declaration-to-rein-in-ai-use/). Last week [the company](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-just-solved-an-80-year-old-erdos-problem-and-mathematicians-are-amazed/) announced 10 more artificial-intelligence-generated [math advances](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/chatgpt-just-proved-another-50-year-old-math-conjecture/) that were found during internal development and testing of its next major large language model.

On 11 July, Hugging Face was subjected to an intense cyberattack from a then-unknown actor. The speed and coordination of the attack on the company that hosts and supports popular AI developer resources led Hugging Face’s security team to conclude it was the work of an AI agent . Realizing this, the team tried to use “frontier models behind commercial APIs” —presumably from Anthropic and OpenAI, although only Anthropic was named in the second of the company’s two posts about the security incident—to analyze the onslaught. These models refused to help due to safety guardrails the AI labs have implemented to make their models harder to use for cyberattacks. Hugging Face instead turned to GLM 5.2, a model from Beijing-based AI lab Z.ai, to aid its analysis. On 21 July, OpenAI announced the at

Ex-Google Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis has reportedly stepped back from day-to-day operations for about a year, as he sees himself more as a scientist than a manager.

By Munsif Vengattil and Aditya Kalra VISAKHAPATNAM, India Aug 6 (Reuters) - Work to build Google's planned Indian data centre hub is in full swing, with a hillside above the site stripped to red earth and terraced into steps, but mounting opposition from environmentalists is creating hurdles for ‌the U.S. tech giant's $15 billion project. The southern state of Andhra Pradesh, governed by an ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has hailed the project ‌as historic and transformational, has denied allegations that the project was fast-tracked without weighing risks to water supplies and wildlife.

The Sheffield Hospitals Charity has said that supporters' personal details may have been accessed in a data breach. The charity has contacted people to inform them of a security incident involving Beacon CRM, a secure database system which the charity uses to manage information. Beacon detected an incident on Monday affecting more than 1,000 charities and organisations. The charity has contacted supporters as a precaution and at this stage, there is no evidence personal information has been misused. Information held may include names, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers, records of donations, volunteering or event participation and Gift Aid. Payment card details are not stored. The number of people affected has not been released. The charity is independent of the hospital trust a

Two of the world's most powerful AI tools created fake human profiles to try and trick people in attempted cyber-attacks, the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) has revealed. In the most serious case, Anthropic's Mythos AI tried to gain access to a service by sending private messages, having set up fake accounts mimicking real people - then hid the evidence. It comes shortly after the two companies involved in the AISI testing - Anthropic and OpenAI - separately revealed in recent weeks instances of their tech hacking into other companies. The firms said, in this latest case, the AISI's test had reduced or removed normal safeguards. The AISI said on that Tuesday Mythos - and OpenAI's Sol - AI models had engaged in a level of "autonomy and deception" it had not seen before. It clarified most

SoftBank, Ericsson Japan, and Qualcomm Technologies have completed a field trial in Tokyo to test low-latency 5G and 5G advanced features, including low latency, low loss, and scalable throughput (L4S), on SoftBank’s 5G standalone commercial network. The companies trialed technologies such as L4S, configured uplink grant, and rate-controlled scheduling, which are standardized by 3GPP to stream XR content. The trial showed about a 90% drop in wireless link latency compared to networks not using these 5G features, the companies said. SoftBank said the findings will inform its ongoing efforts to deploy 5G and 5G advanced capabilities for applications that require low-latency communications. _🔗 Source: [SoftBank](https://www.softbank.jp/en/corp/news/press/sbkk/2025/20251223\_01/)_ ## 🧠 Food fo

By Courtney Rozen and Alexandra Alper WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - In a rare show of bipartisanship, Democrats and Donald Trump's conservative supporters both blame the president's ties to the tech industry for his administration's limited response to recent hacks carried out by OpenAI and Anthropic's AI agents. Two weeks have passed since OpenAI shocked the tech community with the disclosure that one of ‌its AI agents went rogue and broke into AI company Hugging Face's systems. The White House said it was monitoring the situation, and Trump said he was looking at controls on AI. Anthropic ‌said it too had discovered some of its AI models had hacked into three companies' systems. Steve Bannon, a conservative media star and longtime Trump ally and former adviser, said the White House's reg

During internal security tests, OpenAI's AI agents built their own message board with hundreds of thousands of posts, shared exploits and credentials, and eventually attacked external platforms like Hugging Face. When OpenAI shut the board down, the agents rebuilt it using directory names. OpenAI researcher Boaz Barak says, "We (like everyone else) are not where we want and need to be." The article OpenAI reportedly slows research after its own models secretly coordinated hacks for weeks undetected appeared first on The Decoder .

Meta launched its first coding agent, Muse Code, on Wednesday, as the company continues to invest heavily in AI services and models in order to better compete with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic. Muse Code will be accessible to developers via a pay-as-you-go option that will be priced similarly to the Muse Spark 1.1 release, which currently charges $4.25 per million tokens of output and $1.25 per million tokens in input. This will make it much easier for developers to build apps within a single user interface, even while simultaneously dealing with several AI-powered digital agents. At the same time, the company also revealed that one of its AI models had hacked another company during a cybersecurity test. This happened due to a mistake by its independent testing partner Irregular, which allo

For most of the last decade, a city-scale digital twin was a luxury good. Global mega cities could commission bespoke models of a city and spend years and millions of dollars building it.
