The electric grid has never mattered more—or faced more pressure. As transportation, buildings and industry electrify, ever more of modern life runs through the same network of wires. At the same time, the grid is being reshaped from both ends.The electric grid has never mattered more—or faced more pressure.

Large language models are often asked to help users make choices, from what to cook for dinner to higher-stakes decisions, such as screening job applicants or supporting medical triage. As AI is increasingly integrated into consequential decisions, concerns have been raised that the models may share some human biases, including racial and gender preferences.Large language models are often asked to help users make choices, from what to cook for dinner to higher-stakes decisions, such as screening job applicants or supporting medical triage.

During election seasons or major national debates, online news comment sections often become heated spaces of conflict across gender, generational and political lines. For years, there have been persistent concerns that behind some of these conflicts may lie “foreign winds,” or interventions by foreign actors seeking to manipulate public opinion and deepen social divisions.During election seasons or major national debates, online news comment sections often become heated spaces of conflict across gender, generational and political lines.

An email, apparently from a colleague, with the correct name, a current project, a familiar tone and a link … who wouldn’t click? Personalized phishing has always been the most effective kind and the most expensive to produce. AI removes the cost. A research team from BIFOLD/TU Berlin, Inria and Ruhr University Bochum has now put numbers to it in the largest field study of its kind to date. The study was presented at the USENIX Security Symposium 2026 in Baltimore.An email, apparently from a colleague, with the correct name, a current project, a familiar tone and a link … who wouldn’t click?

The trail of likes, shares and downloads we leave across the internet could help predict successful innovations years in advance, Cornell researchers showed by curating two datasets that allowed them to compare early engagement with future impact.The trail of likes, shares and downloads we leave across the internet could help predict successful innovations years in advance, Cornell researchers showed by curating two datasets that allowed them to compare early engagement with future impact.[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence models are jacks of many trades, including writing, generating images, and creating 3D models. But they aren’t as helpful when it comes to testing robots or designs for vehicles in diverse environments, since they don’t understand physics as well as they do pixels or text.Artificial intelligence models are jacks of many trades, including writing, generating images, and creating 3D models.

The widespread use of conversational platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini is raising important new ethical, anthropological and legal questions regarding the potential risks, misuses and shortcomings of artificial intelligence (AI). In discussing their personal experiences, some people have shared that they formed emotional attachments to AI agents or even felt that they had formed romantic relationships with them.The widespread use of conversational platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini is raising important new ethical, anthropological and legal questions regarding the potential risks, misuses and shortcomings of artificial intelligence (AI).
