Ring’s latest AI-powered tool, designed to help find lost dogs and monitor wildfires, has prompted a backlash over how far neighbourhood camera networks should go. Search Party Expanded Ring, owned by Amazon, has just expanded its new Search Party feature across the United States, allowing its outdoor cameras to automatically scan for missing dogs reported…

New research suggests that generative AI adoption may actually intensify work patterns and increase burnout risk rather than reduce workload. Research (Inside A Live Company) For several years, generative artificial intelligence has been promoted as a way to reduce administrative burden and free professionals to focus on higher value tasks. Tools based on large language…

Recent research shows that AI large language models (LLMs) can be quietly poisoned during training with hidden backdoors that create a serious and hard to detect supply chain security risk for organisations deploying them. Sleeper Agent Backdoors Researchers say sleeper agent backdoors in LLMs pose a security risk to organisations deploying AI systems because they…

Building Foundation Models Physical Intelligence, often referred to as PI or π, is a San Francisco based AI robotics company focused on…

Microsoft has made AI-powered Agents in OneDrive generally available, allowing users to create persistent Copilot assistants that work across multiple documents rather than individual files. What Are AI Powered Agents? AI-powered agents in OneDrive are persistent Copilot assistants built from a user selected set of files, designed to understand and work across multiple documents at…

Moltbook, a newly launched social platform designed for AI agents rather than humans, has drawn scrutiny after researchers exposed major security flaws and raised questions about how autonomous its AI activity really is. A Platform For ‘Agents’ Moltbook is presented as a social network designed specifically for AI agents, which are software programs built to…

A research team in California has demonstrated that artificial intelligence can design a fully synthetic virus from scratch, raising questions about how life itself may be engineered in the future. What Has Been Developed? The work centres on a new synthetic virus known as Evo-Φ2147, created using a generative AI model developed by researchers at…
