Addressing humanity’s most pressing global challenges — from forecasting regional food security and environmental disaster risks to tracking real-time disease outbreaks and mapping socio-economic vulnerability — requires high-fidelity geospatial modeling. However, building these models is hindered by a fragmented data ecosystem that requires specialized teams to spend weeks on manual data curation, feature engineering, and…

With the latest round of Form 13-Fs being available, investors can track what the smart money was doing during Q2. Among the most popular buys during the quarter were Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM). All three of these stocks were ones that I was already bullish on,…

Today, TIME reveals the fourth annual TIME100 AI list, recognizing the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence. 

A US federal judge ruled Thursday that sanctions imposed in February by the Trump administration against AI giant Anthropic were illegal, finding that the government had punished the artificial intelligence company for publicly criticizing the Pentagon.

Plaud today unveiled the One Explorer Edition, a new AI wearable aimed at professionals. The device is designed to simplify work involving conversations, meetings and collaboration by automating workflows.

An AI agent, Anthropic’s Claude, developed and validated the control logic for the laser system in a QuEra quantum computer, recovering it in seconds versus an expert needing minutes, and holding it steadier than a specialist’s manual tune. QuEra plans to extend the approach to other subsystems.

We’re opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers. MHS enables AI agents to operate multiple lab and manufacturing instruments, such as microscopes, liquid handlers, and robotic arms, in parallel, and…

Leading developers of the most powerful artificial intelligence tools are warning that their technology may soon be used to carry out sophisticated cyberattacks against companies and institutions, ranging from hospitals to technology firms.

Peter Thiel gained early fame for being a co-founder of PayPal alongside Elon Musk. After selling that company to eBay, Thiel used his newfound fortune to become a venture capitalist. One of his earliest multibaggers came from investing in Facebook (now Meta Platforms) in 2004. Thiel later co-founded Palantir Technologies, the data analytics firm that…

A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature. Lillian Eden|Department of Biology Publication Date: August 27, 2026
