Google DeepMind and Google Research, together with the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), released Forest Typology (ForTy) 2020, which classifies every 10×10-meter parcel of land worldwide into six forest and land-use types, serving as a key baseline for the European Union's deforestation regulation. The team trained the model on about 1.7 million labeled locations and used AlphaEarth Foundations embedding vectors as a key input;

Sierra releases the 𝜏-Entity benchmark, using 200 tasks and ten entity categories (names, phone numbers, addresses, emails, etc.) to test whether voice agents can accurately capture, recognize, and correct detail errors. On the six-language leaderboard, GPT Live 1 leads, with 60.3% accuracy on regular calls, but only 34.0% of tasks pass under all three conditions—regular, heavy noise, and strong voice; Gemini 3.8 Live and Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 score 19.5% and 24.0%, respectively.

Laurent Gisel, head of the ICRC's legal warfare team, told 404 Media during a UN meeting that AI is already selecting targets on the battlefield and causing deaths, and is amplifying destruction, lawbreaking and humanitarian harm. He noted that AI accelerates target generation and the pace of strikes, making it hard for humans to maintain effective control, and argued for prohibiting AI-enabled systems that remove humans from the kill chain as well as autonomous weapons that directly target peop

404 Media reports that AI is simultaneously changing offensive hacking and security defense: after researchers used AI to discover the PHP2Shell vulnerability in PHP, Cloudflare observed thousands of exploitation attempts 10 hours before public disclosure, rising to tens of thousands 45 minutes after disclosure, and reaching hundreds of thousands within 2 hours. OpenAI says such discoveries show that AI can expose security flaws at internet scale, but the same capability can also help attackers

Moshi CEO Anekha Sokhal said on the Latent Space podcast that Moshi is a recommendation engine for commodity traders that connects market data with the information traders actually care about in their positions. She described Moshi as a combination of Bloomberg, Claude, and Netflix: market data, an actionable interface, and recommendations tailored to traders. She also discussed trusted sources, document extraction (using Reducto), building versus buying models, and the pressure on AI engineers

Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square, said at the ARC Innovation Summit at Sheba Medical Center that Israel is poised to become one of the best economies in the world, and that its disadvantage of a small population may instead become an advantage in the AI era, with the key being talent density. He said that he and his wife Neri Oxman decided to invest in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange after only an hour of discussion following the October 7 attack, and revealed that he is preparing to

In an interview on the Decoder podcast, Bill Gates said people need to prepare for roughly 20 years of AI disruption, a period that could be so painful that society splits into two parts: those close to the technological frontier and those who reject it. In an article in late August, he previously said that even under the best-case scenario, the transition to a new AI era will be one of the most turbulent periods in human history, and he believes current policy responses and industry coordinatio

OKA has launched Mori, a $649 mushroom-shaped home robot lamp with a built-in camera and microphone that can follow users around, play nature sounds, and guide breathing relaxation, but it does not support voice commands to control smart home devices or check the weather. Mori is powered by multiple local large language models and can judge when to interact and when to stay quiet; images and audio are discarded immediately after local processing, and facial data is stored encrypted and never upl

TMS systems' AI route planning visualization uses the Mapbox Directions API's alternatives=true to obtain up to 2 alternative routes and compares them side by side with differentiated styles. Dragging waypoints triggers recalculation only on dragend, combined with 500ms debouncing to avoid consecutive requests; after changes, incremental metrics and the warnings field are used to indicate restricted roads and time window conflicts. The Mapbox Directions API supports at most 25 coordinate points

At a lecture at NYU Shanghai, Fudan University professor Ge Jianxiong pointed out that AI's artificial is real, but intelligence is only simulated; humanity's value judgments, thoughts and feelings, and beliefs cannot be handed over to AI. He cited an example of AI fabricating data when writing a paper on Western Han population to show that AI can only integrate already-digitized information and cannot replace evaluation and belief. He warned that premature reliance on AI will cause memory and c

Robert Kelly, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Operations at Merck Animal Health, called for greater investment in animal health: zoonotic infectious diseases account for about three-quarters of human infectious diseases and destroy more than 20% of global livestock production each year, yet less than 1% of global health spending goes to animal health. He cited technologies such as CRISPR gene editing, mRNA vaccines and AI smart collars that can be used simultaneously for animal dis

Google and Voltus are raising their virtual power plant target for the PJM grid tenfold, from 100 MW set in June to 1 GW, with data center developers paying users to reduce electricity use or provide battery capacity during peak demand. Voltus has already secured customer commitments to supply power through 2040, far longer than PJM capacity auctions typically require three years in advance. PJM serves about 67 million people, and its cost of meeting peak demand has risen more than eightfold in
