Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei has published an essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier”. He expressed ongoing concerns over the “misuse of AI for cyberattacks and bioterrorism” and fears that a swarm of AI agents could theoretically take over the entire internet within six to 12 months.Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei has published an essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier”.

Radar technology is one of the most powerful tools for better understanding the world around us. Researchers use radar to see beneath the surface of ice, forest canopies or soil in ways the human eye never could. As the planet changes, that capability matters more than ever.Radar technology is one of the most powerful tools for better understanding the world around us.

New research from Syracuse University argues that communities battling AI data centers should borrow directly from the playbook developed a decade ago to fight fracking. The findings, by Syracuse University Associate Teaching Professor and urban planning expert Austin Zwick, were published in the Journal of the American Planning Association.New research from Syracuse University argues that communities battling AI data centers should borrow directly from the playbook developed a decade ago to fight fracking.

Monitoring Earth from above is a messy, inconsistent business. Clouds can block a satellite’s view, the angle of the sun can create huge shadows, and orbital paths might not take a system across the same general area for weeks. That inconsistency is hard for traditional software to handle and can even confuse standard deep learning algorithms. But, according to a new review paper by researchers Raul-Alexandru Gorgan and Dorian Gorgan of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, a new frontier AI could help—bio-inspired Liquid Neural Networks.Monitoring Earth from above is a messy, inconsistent business.

The question of how to ethically decommission an AI system may sound like the least of humanity’s current concerns, but a world-renowned AI expert says it’s a challenge we need to address now—before synthetic consciousness becomes reality.The question of how to ethically decommission an AI system may sound like the least of humanity’s current concerns, but a world-renowned AI expert says it’s a challenge we need to address now—before synthetic consciousness becomes reality.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a camera-based inspection system that can monitor complex 3D-printed structures layer by layer, using AI and machine learning (ML) to measure tiny variations and potentially identify problems before a part ever leaves the printer.Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a camera-based inspection system that can monitor complex 3D-printed structures layer by layer, using AI and machine learning (ML) to measure tiny variations and potentially identify problems before a part ever leaves the printer.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
