Could AI Agent Swarms Become a Major Cybersecurity Threat?

The rapid development of autonomous AI agents is creating a new category of cybersecurity risk. Unlike traditional software, AI agents can interpret objectives, select tools, communicate with other systems and adjust their behaviour as conditions change. When hundreds or thousands of agents work together, these capabilities can become significantly more difficult to monitor. Recent research […]

What Is the AI Singularity, and How Close Are We to It?

Artificial intelligence is advancing quickly, but could it eventually surpass human intelligence and begin improving itself beyond our ability to understand or control it? This hypothetical turning point is known as the AI singularity. Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that AI could reach human-level intelligence by 2029, followed by a deeper integration between humans and machines […]

AI Agent Security Risks Repeating the Password Problem

AI agents can automate complex workflows across multiple business systems. But when their access depends on reusable tokens, API keys, or standing service accounts, organizations risk recreating one of cybersecurity’s oldest weaknesses: credentials that remain valid long after their original purpose has disappeared. Passwords became a major security problem because they could be separated from […]

NASA and IBM Launch an Open-Source AI Model for Lunar Research

NASA and IBM have introduced a new artificial intelligence model designed to help scientists analyse the vast amount of data collected about the Moon. Called the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, the open-source system is available through Hugging Face and can support research tasks such as mapping impact craters, identifying relatively young volcanic formations and estimating […]

OpenAI’s Dispute with Mathematicians Raises Questions About Credit, Transparency and Open Research

A growing dispute between OpenAI and the mathematics community is highlighting a challenge that extends far beyond academic research: when artificial intelligence contributes to a discovery, who deserves credit, how should the result be verified and what happens to the culture of open collaboration? Twenty-five Fields Medal recipients have signed an open letter warning that […]

AI Is Entering Parliamentary Work, but Voters Are Rarely Told

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the political writing process. According to a recent study, politicians in the United Kingdom and Sweden may be using AI to draft parliamentary speeches, statements and motions without disclosing that assistance to the public. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Edinburgh Napier University in the UK […]

AI Model Fatigue Is Growing as Release Cycles Accelerate

The artificial intelligence market is moving at a pace that is becoming difficult even for experienced technology leaders to follow. In the space of one week, Anthropic introduced updates to Claude Fable and Claude Mythos, Meta and Google announced improvements to their own models, and OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. New open-source models and major industry […]

AI Is Designing Physics Experiments That Could Outperform Human Ideas

Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence a part of scientific research long considered dependent on human intuition: designing the experiments themselves. For centuries, progress in physics has relied on researchers asking the right questions and building experimental setups capable of producing clear answers. An international research team now suggests that part of this creative process […]

Could AI Help Humans Communicate with Animals? The Ethical Risks Behind the Breakthrough

Artificial intelligence is bringing researchers closer to decoding how animals communicate. Machine learning models can process vast collections of sounds and movements, identify recurring patterns and even reproduce specific calls. These capabilities could offer valuable insights into animal behaviour, social structures and responses to environmental change. However, the technology is also raising an unfamiliar ethical […]

OpenAI’s “Recurrent Depth” Technique Rekindles the AI Transparency Debate

OpenAI is reportedly experimenting with a reasoning technique known as “recurrent depth” in its new Astra model. The approach could improve how efficiently advanced AI systems solve complex problems, but it is also raising questions about whether their internal reasoning will remain sufficiently transparent for safety monitoring. According to reporting by The Information, recurrent depth […]
