3 Questions: Using AI to help Olympic skaters land a quint
Why apply AI to figure skating? Skaters can always keep pushing, higher, faster, stronger. OOFSkate is all about helping skaters figure out a way to rotate a little bit faster in their jumps or jump a little bit higher. The system helps skaters catch things that perhaps could pass an eye test, but that might allow them to target some high-value areas of opportunity. The artistic side of skating is much harder to evaluate than the technical elements because it's subjective.

A spokesperson for Anthropic declined to comment on whether Claude was used in the operation, but said any use of the tool was required to comply with its policies. US military used Anthropic's AI model Claude in Venezuela raid, report says Wall Street Journal says Claude used in operation via Anthropic's partnership with Palantir Technologies Sat 14 Feb 2026 11.15 ESTFirst published on Sat 14 Feb 2026 10.53 EST Claude, the AI model developed by Anthropic, was used by the US military during its operation to kidnap Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela, the Wall Street Journal revealed on Saturday, a high-profile example of how the US defence department is using artificial intelligence in its operations. The US raid on Venezuela involved bombing across the capital, Caracas, and the killing of 83 people, according to Venezuela's defence ministry. Anthropic's terms of use prohibit the use of Claude for violent ends, for the development of weapons or for conducting surveillance.

HHS Is Using AI Tools From Palantir to Target 'DEI' and 'Gender Ideology' in Grants
HHS Is Using AI Tools From Palantir to Target'DEI' and'Gender Ideology' in Grants Since March of 2025, the Trump Administration has used tools from Palantir and the startup Credal AI to weed out "DEI" and "gender ideology from child welfare programs. A view of the Palantir building is seen during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. Since last March, the Department of Health and Human Services has been using AI tools from Palantir to screen and audit grants, grant applications, and job descriptions for noncompliance with President Donald Trump's executive orders targeting "gender ideology" and anything related to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), according to a recently published inventory of all use cases HHS had for AI in 2025. Neither Palantir nor HHS has publicly announced that the company's software was being used for these purposes. During the first year of Trump's second term, Palantir earned more than $35 million in payments and obligations ...

Abusers using AI and digital tech to attack and control women, charity warns
Women's groups are calling for tech developers to take into account women's safety. Women's groups are calling for tech developers to take into account women's safety. Domestic abusers are increasingly using AI, smartwatches and other technology to attack and control their victims, a domestic abuse charity says. Record numbers of women who were abused and controlled through technology were referred to Refuge's specialist services during the last three months of 2025, including a 62% increase in the most complex cases to total 829 women. There was also a 24% increase in referrals of under-30s.

Airports embrace AI to manage growing global passenger traffic
As global air passenger traffic is forecast to hit 10.2 billion in 2026, a 3.9 percent year-on-year increase, investments have been pouring in to improve airport infrastructure and operational efficiency and use artificial intelligence to achieve it. Working with data released by Airport Council International, a irports are relying on the increasing use of AI to embrace the rise in demand. The use of AI-powered analytics to anticipate congestion at security, immigration and boarding points is also helping to prevent delays. Resources are being allocated to shift from reactive crowd management to predictive operations. AI-powered baggage optimisation tools and biometric processing - which would allow passengers to walk through immigration without the need to present a physical passport - are also gaining traction as airports seek to improve passenger experience while maintaining operational efficiency.

My friends in Italy are using AI therapists. But is that so bad, when a stigma surrounds mental health? Viola Di Grado
An estimated 5 million Italians are in need of mental health support but are unable to afford it. An estimated 5 million Italians are in need of mental health support but are unable to afford it. My friends in Italy are using AI therapists. But is that so bad, when a stigma surrounds mental health? State provision for psychological health services is lamentable.

Why banning of Maccabi fans raises questions about police integrity
When a police force is supposed to seek the truth and uphold the law, what happens when the evidence they present to officials and the public is, as Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood put it, exaggerated or untrue? The police inspectorate has concluded the leaders of West Midlands Police fell foul of confirmation bias. In simple terms, that means senior officers had already reached a decision and were looking for intelligence to justify it. The list of errors and inaccuracies set out in an independent review of the decision-making that led to fans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv being banned from attending a fixture at Villa Park in November have been described by Mahmood as damning. They include: A report of a football match in an intelligence report produced using AI which never happened; a twice-repeated denial by senior police leaders to MPs that AI had not been relied on to produce the inaccurate report; the claim that local Jewish groups had been consulted on the move when they had not been; inaccurately presenting evidence from Dutch police reports from a previous fixture involving the club.

Bandcamp prohibits music made 'wholly or in substantial part' by AI
Apple's Siri AI will be powered by Gemini Bandcamp prohibits music made'wholly or in substantial part' by AI It added that impersonating other artists or styles using AI is'strictly prohibited.' Bandcamp has addressed the AI slop problem vexing musicians and their fans of late. The company is banning any music or audio on its platform that is wholly or in substantial part made by generative AI, according to its blog . It also clarified that the use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles is "strictly prohibited" by policies already in place. Any music suspected to be AI generated may be removed by the Bandcamp team and the company is giving users reporting tools to flag such content. We believe that the human connection found through music is a vital part of our society and culture, and that music is much more than a product to be consumed, the company wrote.

INSPECT: A Multimodal Dataset for Patient Outcome Prediction of Pulmonary Embolisms
Synthesizing information from various data sources plays a crucial role in the practice of modern medicine. Current applications of artificial intelligence in medicine often focus on single-modality data due to a lack of publicly available, multimodal medical datasets. To address this limitation, we introduce INSPECT, which contains de-identified longitudinal records from a large cohort of pulmonary embolism (PE) patients, along with ground truth labels for multiple outcomes. INSPECT contains data from 19,402 patients, including CT images, sections of radiology reports, and structured electronic health record (EHR) data (including demographics, diagnoses, procedures, and vitals). Using our provided dataset, we develop and release a benchmark for evaluating several baseline modeling approaches on a variety of important PE related tasks. We evaluate image-only, EHR-only, and fused models. Trained models and the de-identified dataset are made available for non-commercial use under a data use agreement. To the best our knowledge, INSPECT is the largest multimodal dataset for enabling reproducible research on strategies for integrating 3D medical imaging and EHR data.
