The U.S. Department of Defense announced plans to integrate Elon Musk’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot into Pentagon networks, a move that has drawn international attention and widespread controversy due to the chatbot’s prior issues and the sensitive nature of military data involved. The decision, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, positions Grok alongside Google’s generative […]
A coalition of more than 230 environmental organizations has called for a national moratorium on new datacenters in the United States, reflecting intensifying concern over the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Groups like Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and Food & Water Watch argue that datacenters — essential for AI, cloud computing, and cryptocurrencies […]
The recent arrest of four individuals in South Korea for hacking more than 120,000 Internet Protocol (IP) cameras reveals a significant global vulnerability in consumer surveillance technology. While this case occurred in South Korea, its implications extend far beyond national borders. IP cameras—used for home security, baby monitoring, pet surveillance, and small business oversight—are now […]
A recent statement by a computer science professor has reignited a long-simmering debate about the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence. The professor warned that rapid advances in AI could displace up to 99% of workers within the next five years, raising questions about the future of employment, economic stability, and human purpose in an increasingly […]
In the crowded and highly competitive world of artificial intelligence, few stories have jolted the industry like the arrival of DeepSeek, a Chinese startup whose open-source models have not only rivaled but in some cases outshined offerings from American tech giants. In early 2025, the release of DeepSeek-R1, powered by the company’s DeepSeek-V3 model, sent […]
In a groundbreaking leap for computing technology, researchers at Cornell University have unveiled the first-ever “microwave brain” chip—a revolutionary processor capable of simultaneously handling ultrafast data and wireless communication signals. This innovation, detailed in Nature Electronics, marks the debut of a true microwave neural network, fully integrated on a silicon microchip and powered by analog […]
Beijing Launches First World Humanoid Robot Games with Dazzling Display of Tech and Talent Beijing made history this week as it hosted the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games, a three-day spectacle that kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony blending hip-hop, martial arts, and futuristic flair. Held on Thursday evening, the event showcased the latest […]
The chatbots split into cliques and boosted the most partisan voices. A handful of “influencers” also quickly dominated the conversation, according to a study published last Tuesday by researchers at the University of Amsterdam. The researchers built a minimal social network with no ads, no recommended posts, and no algorithm deciding what users see. They […]
As artificial intelligence tools become more integrated into content generation workflows, one of the most critical challenges emerging is the detection of hallucinations in summarizations. Hallucinations occur when AI-generated summaries contain information not present or supported in the original source material. These fabrications, which can be presented in a highly convincing and fluent manner, threaten […]
In a sweeping move emblematic of the Trump administration’s approach to governance, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is using artificial intelligence to eliminate hundreds—and potentially hundreds of thousands—of federal regulations. Launched via executive order in January 2025, DOGE’s mission is simple: reduce federal regulatory burdens by 50% by January 20, 2026, using […]
