US tech giant Nvidia will invest up to $100bn (£73bn) in OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT, the companies announced. Nvidia said it will supply high-performance chips needed for the processing power required by artificial intelligence (AI), of which OpenAI is a specialist. Described as a strategic partnership by Nvidia, it is the latest move by two high profile tech firms in the global AI race, where China is an emerging rival. The announcement comes after a series of high-profile investments by Nvidia, including a $5bn investment in Intel and a £2bn investment in the UK's AI sector. Nvidia said its latest investment will go towards growing data centres for OpenAI's next-generation AI infrastructure.

What is the H-1B visa programme? The White House Peace Vigil is dismantled - why? Who said what at Charlie Kirk's memorial? Chipmaker Nvidia will invest up to $100bn in OpenAI and provide it with data center chips, a tie-up between two of the highest-profile leaders in the global artificial intelligence (AI) race. The deal, announced on Monday, will see Nvidia start delivering chips as soon as late 2026 and will involve two separate but intertwined transactions, according to a person close to OpenAI. The first $10bn of Nvidia's investment in OpenAI, which was most recently valued at $500bn, will begin when the two companies reach a definitive agreement for OpenAI to purchase Nvidia chips. Nvidia did not respond to immediate requests for clarification about the deal.

With only a 50-50 chance of detecting synthetic media online, users are more vulnerable than ever to being duped. Advances in generative AI technology have made it easier than ever for anyone to manufacture increasingly realistic synthetic media (colloquially known as deepfakes) at faster speeds, larger scales, and with more customization than ever. This in turn has led to synthetic media increasingly being used for harmful purposes, including disinformation campaigns, nonconsensual pornography, financial fraud, child sexual abuse and exploitation, and espionage. As of today, the principal defense to combat deceptive synthetic media depends in large part on the human observer's perceptual detection capabilities--their ability to visually or auditorily identify AI-generated content when they encounter it. Yet the growing realism of synthetic media impedes this ability, heightening people's vulnerability to weaponized synthetic content. Moreover, people overestimate how capable they are at identifying synthetic media, further exacerbating the problem. As synthetic media continues to advance in sophistication, so too does the threat posed by its growing weaponization, from financial fraud to the production of nonconsensual intimate materials of adults and children.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has made significant advancements in fields such as computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP), demonstrating its capability to synthesize high-fidelity data and improve generalization. Recently, there has been growing interest in integrating GenAI into wireless sensing systems. By leveraging generative techniques such as data augmentation, domain adaptation, and denoising, wireless sensing applications, including device localization, human activity recognition, and environmental monitoring, can be significantly improved. This survey investigates the convergence of GenAI and wireless sensing from two complementary perspectives. First, we explore how GenAI can be integrated into wireless sensing pipelines, focusing on two modes of integration: as a plugin to augment task-specific models and as a solver to directly address sensing tasks. Second, we analyze the characteristics of mainstream generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and diffusion models, and discuss their applicability and unique advantages across various wireless sensing tasks. We further identify key challenges in applying GenAI to wireless sensing and outline a future direction toward a wireless foundation model: a unified, pre-trained design capable of scalable, adaptable, and efficient signal understanding across diverse sensing tasks.

Background: Large language models (LLMs) show promise in medicine, but their deployment in hospitals is limited by restricted access to electronic health record (EHR) systems. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables integration between LLMs and external tools. Objective: To evaluate whether an LLM connected to an EHR database via MCP can autonomously retrieve clinically relevant information in a real hospital setting. Methods: We developed EHR-MCP, a framework of custom MCP tools integrated with the hospital EHR database, and used GPT-4.1 through a LangGraph ReAct agent to interact with it. Six tasks were tested, derived from use cases of the infection control team (ICT). Eight patients discussed at ICT conferences were retrospectively analyzed. Agreement with physician-generated gold standards was measured. Results: The LLM consistently selected and executed the correct MCP tools. Except for two tasks, all tasks achieved near-perfect accuracy. Performance was lower in the complex task requiring time-dependent calculations. Most errors arose from incorrect arguments or misinterpretation of tool results. Responses from EHR-MCP were reliable, though long and repetitive data risked exceeding the context window. Conclusions: LLMs can retrieve clinical data from an EHR via MCP tools in a real hospital setting, achieving near-perfect performance in simple tasks while highlighting challenges in complex ones. EHR-MCP provides an infrastructure for secure, consistent data access and may serve as a foundation for hospital AI agents. Future work should extend beyond retrieval to reasoning, generation, and clinical impact assessment, paving the way for effective integration of generative AI into clinical practice.

Text-to-image (T2I) models exhibit a significant yet under-explored "brand bias", a tendency to generate contents featuring dominant commercial brands from generic prompts, posing ethical and legal risks. We propose CIDER, a novel, model-agnostic framework to mitigate bias at inference-time through prompt refinement to avoid costly retraining. CIDER uses a lightweight detector to identify branded content and a Vision-Language Model (VLM) to generate stylistically divergent alternatives. We introduce the Brand Neutrality Score (BNS) to quantify this issue and perform extensive experiments on leading T2I models. Results show CIDER significantly reduces both explicit and implicit biases while maintaining image quality and aesthetic appeal. Our work offers a practical solution for more original and equitable content, contributing to the development of trustworthy generative AI.

A critical need has emerged for generative AI: attribution methods. That is, solutions that can identify the model originating AI-generated content. This feature, generally relevant in multimodal applications, is especially sensitive in commercial settings where users subscribe to paid proprietary services and expect guarantees about the source of the content they receive. To address these issues, we introduce PRISM, a scalable Phase-enhanced Radial-based Image Signature Mapping framework for fingerprinting AI-generated images. PRISM is based on a radial reduction of the discrete Fourier transform that leverages amplitude and phase information to capture model-specific signatures. The output of the above process is subsequently clustered via linear discriminant analysis to achieve reliable model attribution in diverse settings, even if the model's internal details are inaccessible. To support our work, we construct PRISM-36K, a novel dataset of 36,000 images generated by six text-to-image GAN- and diffusion-based models. On this dataset, PRISM achieves an attribution accuracy of 92.04%. We additionally evaluate our method on four benchmarks from the literature, reaching an average accuracy of 81.60%. Finally, we evaluate our methodology also in the binary task of detecting real vs fake images, achieving an average accuracy of 88.41%. We obtain our best result on GenImage with an accuracy of 95.06%, whereas the original benchmark achieved 82.20%. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of frequency-domain fingerprinting for cross-architecture and cross-dataset model attribution, offering a viable solution for enforcing accountability and trust in generative AI systems.

CAD programs, structured as parametric sequences of commands that compile into precise 3D geometries, are fundamental to accurate and efficient engineering design processes. Generating these programs from nonparametric data such as point clouds and meshes remains a crucial yet challenging task, typically requiring extensive manual intervention. Current deep generative models aimed at automating CAD generation are significantly limited by imbalanced and insufficiently large datasets, particularly those lacking representation for complex CAD programs. To address this, we introduce GenCAD-3D, a multimodal generative framework utilizing contrastive learning for aligning latent embeddings between CAD and geometric encoders, combined with latent diffusion models for CAD sequence generation and retrieval. Additionally, we present SynthBal, a synthetic data augmentation strategy specifically designed to balance and expand datasets, notably enhancing representation of complex CAD geometries. Our experiments show that SynthBal significantly boosts reconstruction accuracy, reduces the generation of invalid CAD models, and markedly improves performance on high-complexity geometries, surpassing existing benchmarks. These advancements hold substantial implications for streamlining reverse engineering and enhancing automation in engineering design. We will publicly release our datasets and code, including a set of 51 3D-printed and laser-scanned parts on our project site.

Traditional public opinion surveys face a number of challenges and risks related to measurement and representation dimensions, including, for example, coverage error due to incomplete frames and hard-to-reach groups, sampling error resulting from finite samples and complex designs, nonresponse error stemming from low participation and interview fatigue, measurement error introduced by questionnaire wording, and processing errors in coding and post-survey adjustments, among others (Groves, 1989; Groves and Lyberg, 2010; Weisberg, 2005). These errors could be amplified by substantial financial, human, and logistical demands, such as time spent on instrument design, piloting, and fieldwork that often forces a cost-quality trade-off that may distort population inferences. Consequently, there is a growing demand in the social sciences and market research for methods that reduce burden and cost while maintaining and improving overall data quality. Against this backdrop, Large Language Models (LLMs), trained extensively on vast and diverse data, emerge as promising alternatives for new research possibilities and applied research, including handling the abovementioned survey research limitations and measurement and representation errors. Indeed, recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) suggest LLMs could serve for a number of classification tasks, including the creation of synthetic samples, providing simulated responses reflective of broader societal attitudes and behaviours (Argyle et al., 2023; Gilardi et al., 2023; González-Bustamante, 2024). The synthetic samples specifically may leverage the ability of LLMs 2 to generate contextually informed responses based on individual-level demographic characteristics and attitudes, and, in this way, potentially emulate public opinion without direct interaction with human respondents. This methodological innovation opens new avenues for rapid data collection, experimentation with sensitive topics, and a deeper understanding of complex public opinion dynamics that complement or even partially substitute for traditional surveys. Thus, the primary objective of this working paper is to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of LLM-generated synthetic survey responses in reflecting real-world public opinion in Chile. Specifically, we aim to assess the predictive accuracy of a number of state-of-the-art private and open-source LLMs by comparing their synthetic respondents against human probabilistic responses.
