Ultra-personalized artificial intelligence for assisted communication risks muting aspects of the user’s identity and occasionally breaches privacy, according to a new study from a Cornell Tech doctoral student who trained the technology on himself.Ultra-personalized artificial intelligence for assisted communication risks muting aspects of the user’s identity and occasionally breaches privacy, according to a new study from a Cornell Tech doctoral student who trained the technology on himself.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

The cybersecurity community went on alert when Anthropic announced on April 7, 2026, that its latest and most capable general-purpose large language model, Claude Mythos Preview, had demonstrated remarkable—and unintended—capabilities. The artificial intelligence system was able to find and exploit software vulnerabilities—the most serious type of software bugs—at a rate not seen before.The cybersecurity community went on alert when Anthropic announced on April 7, 2026, that its latest and most capable general-purpose large language model, Claude Mythos Preview, had demonstrated remarkable—and unintended—capabilities.

The boom in data center construction is taking up much of the supply of high-tech components, especially processor and memory chips. This demand is squeezing consumer device makers, which are having trouble acquiring enough chips.The boom in data center construction is taking up much of the supply of high-tech components, especially processor and memory chips.

Wind turbines supply a particularly large amount of electricity in winter—precisely when demand is high. Nevertheless, expansion is stagnating in many regions of Europe. One of the main reasons is that wind turbines can clash with the local scenic landscape and are therefore met with local opposition.Wind turbines supply a particularly large amount of electricity in winter—precisely when demand is high.

Today, artificial intelligence can describe images, recognize objects, and explain complex relationships. The pace of development is remarkable: So-called vision-language models (VLMs) combine text and image understanding in impressive ways. Yet, of all things, they struggle with a seemingly simple task—counting. Researchers at the Institute for Information Systems (iisys) at Hof University of Applied Sciences are now working to address this issue, with a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server.Today, artificial intelligence can describe images, recognize objects, and explain complex relationships.

Nuclear reactors generate reliable, low-carbon electricity by using heat from nuclear fission to turn turbines. These steady energy producers are a crucial component of clean power generation. Nuclear engineers are responsible not only for understanding reactor dynamics, ensuring proper maintenance and recognizing unusual behavior, but also for determining appropriate corrective actions when necessary.Nuclear reactors generate reliable, low-carbon electricity by using heat from nuclear fission to turn turbines.

The Pentagon on Friday announced agreements with seven leading artificial intelligence companies to deploy their technology on classified military networks, a move that pointedly excludes Anthropic amid its ongoing dispute with the Defense Department.The Pentagon on Friday announced agreements with seven leading artificial intelligence companies to deploy their technology on classified military networks, a move that pointedly excludes Anthropic amid its ongoing dispute with the Defense Department.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence (AI) experts from The University of Texas at Dallas have partnered with a Japanese company through its Irving, Texas-based subsidiary to help local governments prioritize road repairs. The system builds on NEXCO-Central’s existing technology, which combines artificial intelligence and video footage gathered from mobile cameras to assess road conditions and provide a network-wide view of pavement conditions.Artificial intelligence (AI) experts from The University of Texas at Dallas have partnered with a Japanese company through its Irving, Texas-based subsidiary to help local governments prioritize road repairs.

As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems. One avenue they have been exploring is optoelectronics—the study and application of electronic devices that interface with light by detecting, emitting, or converting it into electrical signals.As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems.
