IBM's Global Leader on Responsible AI and AI Governance, Francesca Rossi, arrived at her current area of focus after a 2014 sabbatical at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, which inspired her to think beyond her training as an academic researcher and incorporate both humanistic and technological perspectives into the development of AI systems. In the intervening years, she helped build IBM's internal AI Ethics Board and foster external partnerships to shape best practices for responsible AI. Here, we talk about trust, governance, and what these issues have to do with AI decision making. The ethical issues around the use of AI evolved with the technology's capabilities. Traditional machine learning approaches introduced issues like fairness, explainability, privacy, transparency, and so on.

MIT Technology Review's senior reporter for features and investigations, Eileen Guo, and FT tech correspondent Melissa Heikkilä discuss the privacy implications of our new reliance on chatbots. Welcome back to The State of AI, a new collaboration between the and . In this week's conversation's senior reporter for features and investigations, Eileen Guo, and tech correspondent Melissa Heikkilä discuss the privacy implications of our new reliance on chatbots. Even if you don't have an AI friend yourself, you probably know someone who does. A recent study found that one of the top uses of generative AI is companionship: On platforms like Character.AI, Replika, or Meta AI, people can create personalized chatbots to pose as the ideal friend, romantic partner, parent, therapist, or any other persona they can dream up. It's wild how easily people say these relationships can develop.

In 2017, fresh off a PhD on theoretical chemistry, John Jumper heard rumors that Google DeepMind had moved on from building AI that played games with superhuman skill and was starting up a secret project to predict the structures of proteins. He applied for a job. Just three years later, Jumper celebrated a stunning win that few had seen coming. With CEO Demis Hassabis, he had co-led the development of an AI system called AlphaFold 2 that was able to predict the structures of proteins to within the width of an atom, matching the accuracy of painstaking techniques used in the lab, and doing it many times faster--returning results in hours instead of months. AlphaFold 2 had cracked a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology.

Evidence from a prehistoric cave system indicates non-ritualistic cannibalism of Neanderthal women and children. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Neanderthals have received a necessary historical revision over the last few decades. Although many previous depictions presented our long-lost relative as a dimwitted evolutionary misfire, paleoarchaeological evidence now shows they were creative, artistic, and technologically proficient hominins . Judging from ancient evidence recovered from a cave in Belgium, at least some Neanderthal communities engaged in selective cannibalism .

Talks in Geneva between the US and Ukraine aimed at ending the war with Russia have concluded, with officials from both sides reporting progress and an intention to continue working. However, no details have emerged on how to bridge the considerable divide between Moscow and Kyiv over territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the important steps that had been made but warned that the main problem facing the peace talks was Vladimir Putin's demand for legal recognition of Russian-occupied territories in eastern Ukraine. This would break the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty, he said, highlighting concerns that Moscow could be rewarded for its aggression with land it seized by force. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump suggested on social media that something good just may be happening, but with the caveat: Don't believe it until you see it.

For months Rachel Reeves has been schmoozing the biggest players in the UK government debt market to ensure the smooth passage of her plans. Bond market power: why Rachel Reeves is keen to keep the £2.7tn'beast' onside Hugely influential traders will be hanging on the chancellor's every word when she announces her budget At just after 12.30pm on Wednesday, the machine will be listening, the trading algorithms ready, and billions of pounds of buy-and-sell orders stacked up awaiting Rachel Reeves's budget. For the first time on the London trading floor of Deutsche Bank, a custom-built artificial intelligence tool will tune in to the chancellor's speech. It will transcribe her words, spot shifts in tone and spit out alerts when the numbers deviate from expectations.

Born out of an internal hackathon, Amazon's Autonomous Threat Analysis system uses a variety of specialized AI agents to detect weaknesses and propose fixes to the company's platforms. As generative AI pushes the speed of software development, it is also enhancing the ability of digital attackers to carry out financially motivated or state-backed hacks. This means that security teams at tech companies have more code than ever to review while dealing with even more pressure from bad actors. On Monday, Amazon will publish details for the first time of an internal system known as Autonomous Threat Analysis (ATA), which the company has been using to help its security teams proactively identify weaknesses in its platforms, perform variant analysis to quickly search for other, similar flaws, and then develop remediations and detection capabilities to plug holes before attackers find them. ATA was born out of an internal Amazon hackathon in August 2024, and security team members say that it has grown into a crucial tool since then.

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon's army. A glowing, digital double helix represents the billions of base pairs scientists analyze when sequencing ancient DNA. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. In 1976, workers excavating a tunnel for the Toronto subway system came across some very old bones. Using radiocarbon dating, researchers determined the partial cranium and fragments of antlers were roughly 12,000 years old.
