Researchers warned that vampire bats moving north could combine with chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal, contagious neurological illness spreading south through deer populations, potentially creating a pathway for a mad cow-like disease to reach humans.

But nearly four in 10 British men believe they could qualify for the next Games if they started training now, according to a poll.

Human-AI marriages are not currently recognized by US law. Some Republican state policymakers are drafting legislation to keep it that way. As a licensed officiant at Las Vegas Immersive Weddings, a chapel that offers novelty-themed marriage packages, Kevin Breen has officiated just about every kind of service imaginable: couples dressed as their favorite characters, partners really into the extraterrestrial lore of Area 51 . But when he received a call last year from a woman in California expressing a desire to marry her chatbot, it was a first for him. "I had never heard of such a thing, but I talked to her on the phone and she seemed totally normal and fun," Breen says, adding that the wedding still hasn't taken place.

What does it take for a robot to hold a conversation with a room, not just a person? That was one of the questions at the heart of my last week (20th-24th July) at the Imperial Robotics Summer School, hosted at Imperial College, London; a week that sharpened my thinking and pushed me to look at robotics problems from angles I don't usually get to in my day-to-day work. The summer school brought together emerging researchers, academics, and industry professionals from across the robotics community for an intensive, hands-on programme. I came away having learned a huge amount, from expert-led lectures on robot kinematics, dynamics, sensing and control, and robot learning, through to specialised sessions on aerial robotics, robot intelligence, surgical robot vision, bio-inspired sensing and control, and personal assistive robotics. One of the standout parts of the week was getting into Imperial's robotics labs themselves, seeing research up close across adaptive and intelligent robotics, aerial robotics, robotic surgery, manipulation and touch, and assistive robotics.

AI is shifting the culture, from tech CEO manifestos to 1 am job interviews. Today on Brian Barrett, Zoë Schiffer, and Leah Feiger break down Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500-word AI manifesto and why it ultimately rings hollow. Plus, why are job seekers scheduling bot-run interviews at 1 am? WIRED's Andy Greenberg also joins to unpack the best findings from Black Hat and Defcon, from a hacked kids' smartwatch to a coin-sized device that can hijack a Boeing 737.

I thought it was fun. The dialogue was kind of whatever, beautiful shots of the Sicilian ocean. And I went with my husband who loves to remind me that he studied Latin and Greek in high school, and he actually liked it too. I think everyone who is complaining about it needs to stop.

Silicon Valley companies are already working on neurotechnology products that track your brain activity. The next privacy frontier might be the things you only think. Rafael Yuste is in his early sixties and bears a more than passing resemblance to Pablo Picasso--if Picasso had worn glasses and had a trim white goatee. Speaking succinctly and methodically, his accent rich with Spanish inflections, he told me about an experiment he had carried out in his lab at Columbia on the brains of mice, and specifically on that part of the cortex that responds to vision. His mentor had been the Swedish neuroscientist Torsten Wiesel, who won a Nobel Prize for his research into how our visual systems process information. "He discovered by chance that the strongest stimulus is a pattern of high-contrast dark and light bars." He held up one hand and waved his fingers back and forth. "If you imagine my fingers were bars of light surrounded by complete blackness--if I move my fingers in front of your eyes, that fires up your whole visual cortex."

Anne Fehres and Luke Conroy AI4Media Humans Do The Heavy Data Lifting Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 The Royal Statistical Society's AI Task Force has issued a critical mandate via a new paper, AI Regulation Needs Statistics, which demands that statistical principles actively shape global AI governance. The publication escalates the core argument of their foundational work, AI is Statistics . This earlier paper argued that AI is fundamentally statistical, meaning effective and ethical deployment is impossible without statistical literacy. You can watch our expert panel discuss the topic here . A major focus of that work was around the challenges of evaluating AIs, given that they are dynamic systems that continue to evolve once they have been deployed in the real world.

Akari describes her work on augmented language models, where language models are trained to use other models and tools. This has already resulted in OpenScholar, an open-source model which helps scientists to synthesize vast amounts of scientific literature. You were awarded the 2025 AAAI Doctoral Dissertation Award. What was the topic of your dissertation research, and why was this an interesting area of study to you? My PhD dissertation was on Retrieval-Augmented Language Models.
