The US Justice Department disclosures give fresh clues about how tech companies handle government inquiries about your data.
‘Probably’ doesn’t mean the same thing to your AI as it does to you
When a human says an event is “probable” or “likely,” people generally have a shared, if fuzzy, understanding of what that means. But when an AI chatbot like ChatGPT uses the same word, it’s not assessing the odds the way we do, my colleagues and I found.

Researchers pioneer next-generation AI semiconductors with ‘thermal constraining’ technique
A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University has developed a technology that precisely controls the internal structure of semiconductors using heat, much like stamping out “bungeoppang” (fish-shaped pastry) in a mold. The team report that this approach improves the performance of next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) …
NASA Delays Launch of Artemis II Lunar Mission Once Again
A failure in the helium flow of the SLS rocket has prompted NASA to delay the Artemis II moon mission. Rather than March 6, the launch is now targeted for April.
Jailbreaking the matrix: How researchers are bypassing AI guardrails to make them safer
A paper written by University of Florida Computer & Information Science & Engineering, or CISE, Professor Sumit Kumar Jha, Ph.D., contains so many science fiction terms, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a Hollywood script: Nullspace steering. Red teaming. Jailbreaking the matrix. But Jha’s work is decidedly focused on real life, most notably strengthening the …

AI model edits can leak sensitive data via update ‘fingerprints’
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now widely used by millions of people worldwide, as tools to source information or tackle specific tasks more rapidly and efficiently. Today, some of the most used are large language models (LLMs), computational models trained on large collections of texts that can process and generate written content in various languages.
The Supreme Court’s Tariff Ruling Won’t Bring Car Prices Back to Earth
Despite Friday’s SCOTUS ruling, many tariffs affecting the auto industry will remain. So will the other dynamics that have led to today’s historically high car prices.
Quantum computer breakthrough tracks qubit fluctuations in real time
Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster than previous methods. Using fast FPGA-based control hardware, they can instantly identify when a …
