The FBI confirms it's buying Americans' location data
The FBI confirms it's buying Americans' location data During a Senate hearing, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that his agency has bought information that could be used to track individuals' movement and location. We do purchase commercially available information that's consistent with the Constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us, he said. Law enforcement is required to obtain a warrant in order to get location data from cell service providers following the Carpenter v United States ruling from 2018. But why bother with all that hassle when they can just buy the information from the open market? Doing that without a warrant is an outrageous end run around the Fourth Amendment, it's particularly dangerous given the use of artificial intelligence to comb through massive amounts of private information, Sen. Ron Wyden, (D-Ore.) said during the Intelligence Committee hearing.

The Pentagon Wants an Obedient A.I. Soldier. Will It Get One?
The reported use of Claude in recent military operations has shifted the Overton window around A.I. in warfare--and sparked a battle between Anthropic and the Department of War. The staff writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the escalating standoff between the A.I. company Anthropic and the Department of War. They consider recent reporting on the use of Claude--Anthropic's family of large language models--in military operations in Venezuela and Iran, and how that news has pushed the company's relationship with the Pentagon to a breaking point. They also explore how the tech industry is responding to the conflict between the Trump Administration and Anthropic, and the thorny question of whether A.I. should be subject to greater safeguards and more oversight than previous technological innovations. " The Pentagon Went to War with Anthropic. " The Iran War Is Another Reason to Quit Oil," by Bill McKibben " How Should We Remember the Hippies?

A Meta agentic AI sparked a security incident by acting without permission
Maybe think twice before letting an AI take over all your tech? According to the publication, an employee used an in-house agentic AI to analyze a query from a second employee on an internal forum. The AI agent posted a response to the second employee with advice even though the first person did not direct it to do so. The second employee took the agent's recommended action, sparking a domino effect that led to some engineers having access to Meta systems that they shouldn't have permission to see. A representative from the company confirmed the incident to and said that no user data was mishandled.

While Christopher Columbus is hailed as the first in 1492, archaeologists uncovered a small terracotta head of a bearded man carved with distinctive European features tucked inside a Mexican tomb. The artifact, known as the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca Head, was discovered in 1933 inside a sealed pre-Hispanic burial beneath multiple intact layers, indicating it had not been disturbed after its placement. Experts say its facial features, beard style and craftsmanship bear a striking resemblance to objects from the ancient Mediterranean rather than indigenous Mesoamerican traditions.

Senator Blackburn introduces the first draft of a federal AI bill
It will likely go through several more iterations before completion. The White House has been promising a set of national rules to guide artificial intelligence since late last year, and today Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) The senator shared a discussion draft for codifying the executive order signed by President Donald Trump in December calling for an AI bill. Her stated goal is a policy that protects children, creators, conservatives and communities from harm. Blackburn has called for tougher policies for AI safety, and one of the core messages in this discussion draft is that it places a duty of care on AI developers in the design, development and operation of AI platforms to prevent and mitigate foreseeable harm to users.

Google is testing Search Live in more markets
The company had originally planned to announce global availability. A few hours after this story was published, Google reached out to retract the news. Given that the company says it is testing in more markets, it seems entirely possible that the global Search Live release will happen sooner than later. After rolling out Search Live to all US Google app users last September, Google is now bringing the feature to every place where it offers its AI Mode chatbot. Search Live, if you need a reminder, allows you to point your phone's camera at an object or scene and ask questions about what you see in front of you.

A powerful ChatGPT feature could be coming to Gemini
PCWorld reports that Google's Gemini may soon receive conversation branching functionality, a feature currently unique to ChatGPT among major AI chatbots. This capability allows users to explore different conversational paths from any point without losing the original thread, enhancing experimentation and control. Android Authority discovered hints of this upcoming feature in Gemini's code, while competitors like Claude still lack branching functionality. Ever wish you could take an existing AI conversation in an entirely new directory while keeping the original chat thread intact? ChatGPT makes it easy with its "branching" feature, but Claude and Gemini don't offer any branching functionality-or at least, not yet.
