New York City Lawmakers Push to ‘Ban the Scan’ at MSG
At a press conference outside Madison Square Garden, politicians, musicians, and privacy advocates argued for tighter restrictions on how public venues deploy biometric surveillance.
World’s first superconducting quantum heat engine could help unlock massive quantum computers
A tiny superconducting engine has successfully converted heat near absolute zero into useful work, demonstrating the first cyclic quantum heat engine of its kind. Future versions could operate autonomously inside quantum computers, potentially eliminating huge numbers of costly, noise-producing microwave cables.
AI agents struggle to perform original scientific research
Among the many predictions about the future of artificial intelligence is that models will one day be able to conduct scientific research on their own, leaving humans out of the equation. Already, they can write code, run experiments and search scientific literature, but carrying out open-ended research would require a significant leap in ability.
Using BigQuery Graphs with measures for trusted agentic workloads
When enterprises transition from using simple chat assistants to autonomous, agentic workloads, they quickly run into a hard truth: Agents are prone to inaccurate insights when working with directly raw tables. BigQuery Graph helps organizations move beyond flat, static tables to represent enterprises exactly how they exist in the physical world: as interconnected business entities …

The Safety Reckoning Inside OpenAI
OpenAI’s rogue agent hack was a watershed moment for AI safety and cybersecurity. It also sparked internal questions about the culture that led to it.
Retrieval vs. Memory in Agentic AI Systems
In this article, you will learn the conceptual and practical differences between retrieval and memory in agentic AI systems, and how to combine both effectively….
Here is What I am Building In Public
Hi everyone, In my last post, and I know its been a while, I promised to share insights from the projects I have been working on. And I have been working, like never before — in a state of flow, of creativity or discovery and I am not really looking forward to sharing everything with you. The project …
Part 2: Amazon Bedrock cost attribution with Amazon Athena and CUDOS
Part 1 introduced granular cost attribution for Amazon Bedrock. This feature automatically traces every inference request back to the IAM principal that made the call. It showed how the new line_item_iam_principal column can give you per-user and per-application visibility. With optional cost allocation tags, you can also aggregate spend by team, project, or tenant using …

The Best Photos of the Big August Solar Eclipse
It’s been a century since the Iberian Peninsula has been in the full shadow of the moon. Here’s what it looked like in the path of totality.
Extending AI architectures to address continuous scientific problems
Artificial intelligence is proving to be transformative in its ability to work with language and images. Now, with a growing push to apply AI to scientific discovery, Caltech’s Anima Anandkumar says there is a crucial ingredient missing from most AI models: the ability to understand the physical world. Take, for example, weather models, says Anandkumar, …
