In brief Researchers found that the Unitree G1 robot sends audio, video, and spatial data without notifying users. Proprietary encryption uses hardcoded keys, allowing offline data decryption. The report warned that the robot could potentially be used in covert surveillance or cyberattacks. In the escalating humanoid robotics race, the spotlight usually falls on Tesla’s Optimus…
In brief MIT’s SCIGEN steers generative AI to propose exotic, physically feasible materials. Samsung’s PaRS filters AI-generated designs, rejecting results that break physics. Both reflect a push for “physics-aware AI” to accelerate discovery in quantum computing, energy, and semiconductors. What if an AI system could propose a recipe for a new material that conducts electricity…
In brief Google’s DeepMind updated its Frontier Safety Framework to track new “frontier risks.” The changes add shutdown resistance and persuasive ability to earlier categories like cyber misuse and biosecurity. The shift comes amid parallel moves by Anthropic and OpenAI, and growing regulatory focus in the U.S. and EU. In a recent red-team experiment, researchers…

In brief A new Pew survey showed Americans wanted AI’s help with chores, but feared it wrecked their minds and relationships. Most Americans said AI stripped away creativity and human connection, with only 10% feeling more excited than worried. The majority admitted they had no control over AI in their lives—just a digital tide they…
In brief DeepMind used physics-informed neural networks to find new solutions to Navier-Stokes equations. The AI uncovered a new family of singularities, later proven mathematically correct. The breakthrough could boost weather models, aerodynamics, and climate prediction accuracy. For centuries, the complex mathematics describing the movement of liquids and gases—from the air rushing over an airplane’s…
In brief Oxford–Vela researchers created VCBench to test if AI can predict startup success. GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, and others outperformed Y Combinator and top VCs. The study suggests that LLMs could become powerful early-stage investing tools. Could GPT-4 have spotted Airbnb in 2008—or Figma in 2012—before the pros did?A new paper from researchers at the University…

In brief Nvidia invested $5 billion in Intel and agreed to co-develop custom chips for PCs and data centers. Jensen Huang framed the deal as coupling Nvidia’s accelerated computing with Intel’s x86 platforms. The move followed reports that China banned local tech firms from buying Nvidia AI chips. Nvidia announced Thursday it would invest $5…
