The Guardian view on AI in war: the Iran conflict shows that the paradigm shift has already begun

The Guardian

AI is'identifying and prioritising targets, recommending weaponry and evaluating legal grounds for a strike'. AI is'identifying and prioritising targets, recommending weaponry and evaluating legal grounds for a strike'. "N ever in the future will we move as slow as we are moving now," the UN secretary-general, António Guterres, warned this week, addressing the urgent need to shape the use of artificial intelligence. The speed of technological development - as well as geopolitical turbulence - is collapsing the distinction between theoretical arguments and real world events. The AI company Anthropic insisted that it could not remove safeguards preventing the Department of Defense from using its technology for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.

Ron Garan, who launched on April 4, 2011 and returned home on September 16, 2011, completed nearly 3,000 orbits around Earth, discovering humanity has been'living a lie.' Garan said that while looking out the window of the International Space Station (ISS), he was struck by how differently the world appears from orbit. From space, the planet's fragile life-support systems, its atmosphere, oceans and ecosystems are clearly visible, yet human society treats them as if they exist only to serve the global economy.

A new book from Rebecca Solnit, promising to bring us hope in these "difficult times", is among our pick of popular science titles out this month - along with a guide on how to talk to AI, and a look at modern warfare March, in the northern hemisphere anyway, is about venturing out for some much-needed vitamin D and dodging showers. Forget that - just head for a decent café where you can delve into the marvellous science books we've got waiting for you. This month you can explore how animals shaped our world, how to spot liars from their language, what forest trees can tell us - and flowers as revolutionaries. There is some stronger stuff too, if you are in the mood: try AI in the hands of the US military, or a deep cultural look at how our world has changed beyond recognition.

Now, experts have revealed there are five'dimensions' to the end of the world that influence the way people think and act. A team from the University of British Columbia surveyed more than 3,400 people and found apocalyptic thinking is no longer confined to the fringes of society. People think about the apocalypse in multiple ways - including when it might happen, who or what would cause it and whether it's something to fear or welcome. These beliefs are strongly linked to how people perceive and respond to global risks like climate change, pandemics, nuclear conflict and emerging technologies like AI, the researchers said.

NASA confirms'city destroying' asteroid will narrowly MISS the moon in 2032 - skimming 13,200 miles past the lunar surface READ MORE: NASA admits there are thousands of'city killer' asteroids in space Good news from NASA - an asteroid previously predicted to be on a collision course with the moon will miss it after all. Since December 2024, the US space agency has been tracking the'city-killer' asteroid, dubbed '2024 YR4', as it whizzes towards us. The 220ft space rock initially set alarm bells ringing as early measurements suggested it had a one in 32 chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Further analysis at the end of last year then suggested the moon had a four per cent chance of taking the hit. However, we can finally breathe a sign of relief.

Oarfish, also known as sea serpents, have been referred to in Japanese folklore as'Doomsday fish' because they are said to be the messengers from the sea god's palace .


During WWI, a daredevil pilot helped invent the first 'drones'

Popular Science

During WWI, a daredevil pilot helped invent the first'drones' Lawrence Sperry's autopilot proved planes could fly themselves. Lawrence Sperry was a pioneer, a showman, and inventor. Without him, flying today would look very different. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. On November 21, 1916, pilot and inventor Lawrence Sperry was flying over Long Island's Great South Bay with his student Dorothy Rice Pierce when his plane suddenly plunged into the water .

Researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research used five large global temperature datasets to understand how warming has changed through the years. Their results show that from 1970 to 2015, Earth warmed at a rate of just under 0.2 C (0.36 F) per decade. However, over the past 10 years, this rate has jumped to around 0.35 C (0.63 F) per decade. This is higher than any previous decade since recording began in 1880.
