Defense Department says Anthropic poses 'unacceptable risk' to national security

Engadget

Defense Department says Anthropic poses'unacceptable risk' to national security The Pentagon has submitted a court filing in response to Anthropic's lawsuit challenging its'supply chain risk' designation. The Department of Defense said giving Anthropic continued access to its warfighting infrastructure would "introduce unacceptable risk" to its supply chains in a court filing submitted in response to the AI company's lawsuit. If you'll recall, Anthropic sued the government to challenge the supply chain risk designation it received for refusing to allow its model to be used for mass surveillance and the development of autonomous weapons. In its filing, the department explained that its secretary, Pete Hegseth, had a provision incorporated into AI service contracts, allowing the agency to use their technologies for any lawful purpose. Anthropic refused its terms and apparently, the company's behavior caused the Pentagon to question whether it truly was a "trusted partner" that it could work with when it comes to "highly sensitive" initiatives.


A principled approach for data bias mitigation

AIHub

How do you know if your data is fair? And if it isn't, what can you do about it? Machine learning models are increasingly used to make high-stakes decisions, from predicting who gets a loan to estimating the likelihood that someone will reoffend. But these models are only as good as the data they learn from [Shahbazi 2023]. If the training data is biased, the model's decisions will likely be biased too [Hort 2024, Pagano 2023].


A Quantum Leap for the Turing Award

WIRED

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they've been awarded the highest honor in computer science. Today it's widely acknowledged that the future of computing will involve the quantum realm . Companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, and a few well-funded startups are frantically building quantum computers and routinely claiming advances that seem to bring this exotic, world-changing technology within reach. In 1979 all of this was unthinkable.

Iran war: What is happening on day 19 of US-Israel attacks?

Al Jazeera

Iran war: What is happening on day 19 of US-Israel attacks? Iran has pledged "revenge" after Israeli strikes killed security chief Ali Larijani and commander of Basij paramilitary forces Gholamreza Soleimani, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying Tehran's political system remains strong as the war entered its 19th day . Iran launched more attacks on Israel, causing extensive property damage, after an earlier strike killed two people in Ramat Gan. Political tensions are also rising in the United States, as senior counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigned, saying "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby". Meanwhile, President Donald Trump criticised NATO allies and partners for failing to provide stronger military support in efforts to end Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.


I've applied for 500 jobs in two months since graduating

BBC News

'I've applied for 500 jobs in two months since graduating' You have to work 10 times harder to work for a role that 10 years ago you could have got very easily straight out of university, says 22-year-old business management graduate Charlotte Briggs. Within two months she had applied for 500 roles. It's quite upsetting because I've worked really hard for the last three years to achieve a 2:1 just to be rejected for not having experience. Although her job search sounds extreme, it may not be that unusual. According to latest ONS figures, 22.5% of people aged 16 to 24 cannot find work, putting London as the UK region with the second highest rate of youth unemployment.


Iran fires missiles, drones across Gulf, region remains in war crosshairs

Al Jazeera

Iran has fired missiles and drones at several Gulf Arab nations, which have sought to intercept them, in a now-daily fallout from the United States-Israel war launched on Iran nearly three weeks ago that has engulfed the Middle East with deaths, destruction, assassinations, and an energy crisis spreading far beyond the region. Early Tuesday, Qatar's Ministry of Defence said its armed forces intercepted a missile attack against the country. The statement came hours after the Kuwaiti army said it was intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have also reported intercepting missiles and drones in recent hours. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense reported the interception and destruction of a drone in the Eastern Region.
