Philippe Jaenada told French radio that he used ChatGPT to'play with the reader', after the prize removed a different book from its longlist over allegations of AI use The winner of France's most prestigious literary prize has admitted using artificial intelligence while writing his novel, barely a day after collecting an award whose jury had thrown out another book over suspected AI use. Philippe Jaenada, who won the Prix Goncourt on Tuesday for (The Unknown Woman of the Quai de Javel), told France Inter radio on Wednesday that he had turned to AI "three times" while writing it. The first, he said, was to slip in a sentence written by ChatGPT in order to "play with the reader".

Can AI systems be trusted to reflect the reality of a car crash? One law enforcement agency in Japan reportedly wants to make something normally confined to sci-fi crime thrillers a reality: interactive, AI-powered reconstructions of real-world accidents. According to Tokyo's Metropolitan Department is developing a system that combines AI with security camera footage and 3D spatial data captured by camera-equipped mapping vehicles to digitally reconstruct traffic accidents.

The startup Aina bets you won't need to rely on your phone to control virtual assistants. It's making a smart ring that lets you control the actions of your autonomous agents with one tap. Apoorv Shankar believes that in the very near future, humans will interact with technology through a series of approvals and rejections. AI agents will proactively come to us to complete tasks, and humans will say, "Yes, order that Uber," or "No, don't get lunch from that spot." But if you get multiple pings from an AI agent throughout the day, taking out your phone to say yes or no every single time will be a "bottleneck," he says.

Plus: America's data center boom has hit a political wall. Texas was the new epicenter of the AI data center buildout. Texas is the fastest-growing data center market in the US and ground zero for Big Tech's largest AI buildouts. But the blue wave that swept the Lone Star State may jeopardize that position. Democrat James Talarico won the US Senate seat, Gina Hinojosa won the race for governor, and Democrats will take control of the Texas House for the first time in 24 years. They won after making data centers a central issue on the campaign trail.

Particle Physicists Are Getting a First Glimpse Into the'Zeptoverse' An extremely rare matter-decay event opens up new possibilities for researching the physical world on scales 100 billion times smaller than an atom. We still don't know what happens at the scale of the zeptoverse or at even smaller magnitudes, but this discovery may help researchers begin to understand this infinitesimal world. The Large Hadron Collider has been slamming protons together for years. But recently, a proton collision produced an improbable result that is the first step toward exploring the so-called "zeptoverse"--a scale of reality many, many times smaller than an atom. This would be the smallest scale of the physical world ever explored and may defy our expectations of how physics works .

Not everyone wants another smartwatch. These smart rings offer a more discreet way to keep an eye on your health. The best smart ring does a lot without asking much of you, passively tracking your activity, health, and sleep. Some models go even further, with meal logging, AI coaching, and cycle tracking. No bulky smartwatch banging you in the face while you're deep in REM sleep. Once the preserve of wealthy wellness buffs, top-of-the-line smart rings are becoming increasingly affordable and available. Although our top pick is still Finnish pioneer Oura's Ring 5 (from $399) I expect to see more entrants in the coming months, but for now, these are the best smart rings we've tried.

A sweeping bit of legislation designed to cut red tape could speed up the buildout of energy infrastructure in the US. With the dust barely settled on this week's momentous midterms, the Senate is set to vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) on November 9. It's a plan that could finally start an overhaul of the slow, complicated process for getting energy projects approved, as part of something called permitting reform. People on both sides of the political aisle have been pushing for this type of change for some years. The key question is whether this will cut greenhouse-gas emissions from the US energy sector or push them higher still. The federal permitting system is designed to protect the environment against industrial pollution from large projects like power plants, transmission lines, and natural-gas pipelines. Today, permitting is governed by a range of laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. And if there's one thing you might know about the current state of permitting in the US it's that it's slow and incredibly complicated. So in its 417 pages, BAAJA attempts to tighten things up. The bill has provisions that narrow the sorts of projects that need to apply for federal permits and others that enact deadlines in hopes of speeding up a process that today can take years.
