In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the eponymous heroine encounters the Red Queen, who involves her in a frantic race. In this curious country, Alice learns, you have to run as fast as you possibly can only to remain in the same place. Christoph Landolt draws on the image of this Red Queen’s Race to describe the situation of software vendors in the AI era. As the cyber capabilities of frontier models continue to grow, the potential for attacks is multiplying at speed too. Using an approach from game theory, Landolt and his co-authors have calculated how the release of new AI models could be sequenced to give software vendors a strategic head start over cybercriminals.In Lewis Carroll’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the eponymous heroine encounters the Red Queen, who involves her in a frantic race.

Deleting a conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant may not erase everything the assistant remembers. Georgia Tech researchers have developed a tool that can recover deleted conversations from AI assistants running on Android phones. The tool, called ORISA, can also rebuild the recovered information into a working AI session.Deleting a conversation with an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant may not erase everything the assistant remembers.

As Florida continues to face one of its worst dengue outbreaks in nearly a century, a mosquito trap created by USF startup Digitomy is helping curb the spread of the virus and other mosquito-borne diseases. The smart trap contains patented AI technology and has achieved more than 98% accuracy in identifying mosquito species during laboratory testing.As Florida continues to face one of its worst dengue outbreaks in nearly a century, a mosquito trap created by USF startup Digitomy is helping curb the spread of the virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.

Smart contracts are computer programs that run on blockchains and carry out agreements automatically, like a vending machine that releases a product once payment is made. Today they power cryptocurrency payments, online lending and exchange services, digital collectibles and more, often holding large sums of money directly.Smart contracts are computer programs that run on blockchains and carry out agreements automatically, like a vending machine that releases a product once payment is made.

Governments and organizations around the world began scrambling on Oct. 21, 2026, to fix a vulnerability in software that runs their websites, a bug that could give hackers access to data and control of websites. The flaw in PHP, the programming language that powers much of today’s web, prompted urgent warnings from the U.S. National Security Agency, cybersecurity agencies and software vendors.Governments and organizations around the world began scrambling on Oct. 21, 2026, to fix a vulnerability in software that runs their websites, a bug that could give hackers access to data and control of websites.

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body shape that resembles that of humans, could tackle various chores and everyday manual tasks. To successfully complete these tasks, however, the robots should be able to reliably coordinate their movements, posture and how they touch or grasp different objects.Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body shape that resembles that of humans, could tackle various chores and everyday manual tasks.
