Microsoft positions MatterGen as a complementary tool to its previous AI model, MatterSim, which accelerates simulations of material properties. Together, the tools could serve as a technological “flywheel”, enhancing both the exploration of new materials and the simulation of their properties in iterative loops.This approach aligns with what Microsoft refers to as the “fifth paradigm of scientific discovery,” in which AI moves beyond pattern recognition t

The vulnerabilities AI finds are the ones attackers want Attackers exploited a flaw found by an AI research agent within four days of its public disclosure, and they are exploiting more vulnerabilities overall, according to new research by Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). The researchers examined vulnerability disclosure and exploitation data from January 2025 to August 2026. Disclosures doubled, exploitation stays rare Monthly CVE disclosures doub

Mozilla’s Firefox Enterprise lets companies block shadow AI in the browser Mozilla’s Firefox Enterprise is a paid platform that lets organizations control how sensitive data is shared, check device security, and manage employee access to web applications.

Humanoid robots raced and punched their way through three days of a multi-sport competition at the World Humanoid Robot Games, wrapping up Sunday in Beijing. But they also toppled, crashed and collapsed, requiring humans' help and leading to questions about how far, after all, the robots can go on their own. Th

ChatGPT is the clear winner in the AI spending race inside the U.S. House of Representatives. OpenAI’s chatbot accounted for nearly $9 out of every $10 that House offices, committees, and institutional accounts spent on identifiable AI tools during the 12 months ending March 31, according to a new CNBC analysis. The business news outlet examined House disbursement records that specifically named AI vendors. The findings do not provide a complete picture of

AGENTIC DELIVERY WEBINARS These webinars bring together the people building and shipping software with AI agents to talk through what actually works. Each webinar looks at a different part of the agentic SDLC, from the gates and risk tiers that keep delivery accountable to the guardrails that stop an agent from making a decision no one signed off on. PAST WEBINARS When the agent decides, who answers?… accountability in AI-assisted delivery Source control r

As the school’s student newspaper The Sun Star reported, undergraduate student Graham Granger was arrested for criminal mischief after masticating at least 57 of the 160 images that had been carefully arranged by fine arts student

But there’s a much more ironic victim hiding in the corner office: the very business executives who unleashed AI on us in the first place. A recent study conducted by market research agency 3Gem and flagged by The Register found that business leaders in the United Kingdom seem to b

Rates of "oh," "okay," and "uh-huh" per 100 words. Credit: Cognitive Science (2025). DOI: 10.1111/cogs.70106 Large language models like ChatGPT and Copilot are useful for many things. However, they are not yet good enough to imitate the way people speak. It is easy to be impressed by artificial intelligence. Many people use large language models such as ChatGPT, Copilot and Perplexity to help solve a variety of tasks or simply for entertainment purposes. B

A photo that appears to show President Donald Trump kissing his 35-year-old assistant Natalie Harp on a golf course has gone viral in recent days. If you run the image through AI image detectors, you’re going to get a big shrug, with some even suggesting it’s real. When Gizmodo asked Claude whether the image is real, it provided “signs that lean toward ‘real photo’,” including the “natural depth of field falloff” as well as the “consistent lighting directi

Opponents of Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package rallied against the plan on the eve of Tesla's annual meeting. Tesla shareholders will determine on Thursday the fate of a massive pay package meant to retain Elon Musk long enough to achieve technological breakthroughs he vows will change the world.
