Signal President Meredith Whittaker has sounded the alarm on the potential risks of agentic AI, warning that the technology could compromise user privacy and security. Whittaker, a vocal advocate for secure communications, expressed concerns that AI agents, which are designed to perform tasks on behalf of users, could access sensitive information and undermine the security…
A recent survey of hundreds of AI researchers has raised concerns about the feasibility of achieving human-level artificial intelligence (AI) through the current approach and technology. The survey found that enlarging current AI systems is unlikely to lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI), and that neural networks alone are insufficient to achieve AGI. Researchers are…

Two private companies, Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace, have successfully landed their spacecraft on the moon as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. While Intuitive Machines’ Athena lander experienced technical difficulties and landed on its side, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander touched down safely, marking a significant milestone in private lunar exploration. The…
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has acquired a 1 million-square-foot property in Southwest Memphis to expand its AI data center footprint. This move is part of xAI’s efforts to upgrade its primary Memphis-based facility, Colossus, to 1 million Nvidia GPUs. While this expansion is expected to boost AI innovation, it has also raised concerns about…
As the Trump administration’s repeated threats to research funding and mass firings of federal workers push scientists to take on unfamiliar roles as activists, a new wave of advocacy is emerging across the United States. Researchers are speaking at rallies, calling legislators, and forming new pressure groups to protect taxpayer-funded research and push back against…

Researchers have discovered hundreds of erupting volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io, with high-resolution images revealing dozens of massive lava lakes. These lakes are significantly larger than their Earthly counterparts and offer valuable insights into the moon’s volcanic activity and magma movement. The findings are expected to shed light on the plumbing system that powers Io’s…
French AI developer Mistral has launched a new API, Mistral OCR, which enables developers to convert complex PDF documents into text files, making them easily ingestible by AI models. This multimodal API can detect and process illustrations, photos, and text within documents, outputting formatted Markdown files. The API is expected to simplify access to internal…
Researchers in Australia have developed a nanosensor that can detect the onset of gestational diabetes with 95% accuracy. The superparamagnetic “nanoflower” sensor uses specially engineered nanoparticles to isolate and detect biomarkers in the blood associated with complications in early pregnancy. This technology has the potential to revolutionize risk assessment and improve clinical decision-making in obstetric…
