One of east coast's largest datacenters accused of'violating federal law' Thu 27 Aug 2026 11.00 EDTLast modified on Thu 27 Aug 2026 12.25 EDT The largest planned AI datacenter in New Jersey is being accused of violating federal law after a visual investigation found the site running dozens of unpermitted gas-powered generators. Thermal drone footage captured by the non-profit newsroom Floodlight last week showed the partly completed DataOne facility in Vineland was operating at least 45 of the site's 62 generators at the time. The datacenter has stirred controversy since breaking ground in 2025 due to persistent noise complaints, unpermitted construction and a contentious zoning process.

For decades, a university degree seemed to promise a stable career - but entry-level white-collar jobs across almost all sectors are being disrupted by AI . Budding accountants, software engineers and junior lawyers increasingly find themselves displaced by cheap automation. Even creative fields are struggling against AI tech that can produce artwork, lengthy prose or complex design briefs in seconds. But many young workers have responded by turning to what they see as "AI-proof" heritage crafts. These are the centuries-old, hands-on jobs, such as boat-making, metalwork or bookbinding, that require specialist knowledge built on creative judgment and dexterity, skills not yet mastered by AI. Eryn Lawley, a 27-year-old politics graduate, said future-proofing her career meant walking away from the digital world.

It Should Be Harder to Apply for a Job. Thanks to a dwindling supply of open roles, "one-click" applications, and the rise of artificial intelligence, it's easier than ever to apply for a job. Three years ago, Andrew Stockwell had his hiring routine down to a science. As head of people for the software-buying company Vendr, Stockwell posted a listing, waited a few days, and then reviewed a few dozen applications--up to 100, if he was lucky. Recruiters identified other potential candidates, adding a few more applicants to the mix.

The 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) distinguished paper awards recognise some of the best papers presented at the conference each year. This year, three articles were named as distinguished papers . In approval-based budget division, the task is to allocate a divisible resource to the candidates based on the voters' approval preferences over the candidates. For this setting, Brandl et al. [2021] have shown that no distribution rule can be strategyproof, efficient, and fair at the same time. In this paper, we aim to circumvent this impossibility theorem by focusing on approximate strategyproofness.

You'll start seeing a lot more taxis in Las Vegas with no human driver behind the wheel over the coming year. The Nevada Transportation Authority has approved Tesla's, Waymo's and Uber's applications for an Autonomous Vehicle Network Company permit, which gives them the authority to offer paid rides in Clark County, including Las Vegas. Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt has reported that Nevada officials gave Tesla permission to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis over the next 12 months after their August 20th meeting. The company's permit reportedly allows it to operate across the entire state, provided it notifies the agency that it's expanding its coverage. According to the Q&A with Tesla during the session, the company is working with law enforcement to shoot a five-minute step-by-step video first responders can follow for emergencies involving its autonomous vehicles.

The 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) will be held from 15-21 August, in Bremen, Germany. The conference will feature workshops and tutorials, keynote and invited talks, technical presentations, posters, diversity and inclusion event, outreach, and more. Experts from research, practice, public institutions and civil society discuss how AI is changing key areas of everyday life in moderated panel discussions. The AI Lounges will be held in German. The tutorials will also take place from 15-17 August.

With this, OpenAI now has a native client on all major desktop operating systems and is placing its coding agent, Codex, alongside ChatGPT and its Work environment.

How we picked 35 of the world's top young scientists and engineers Our 2026 Innovators Under 35 list will be out soon. Here's what we looked for as we sifted through 550 nominations from around the world. Next month, on September 8, will reveal its 2026 list of Innovators Under 35, recognizing 35 young people from around the world who are doing groundbreaking scientific work and building clever technical fixes for sticky problems. By finding the top young innovators globally and learning what they're focused on in their work, we aim to give readers a sense of what advances to expect in the years to come. As a newsroom, we also use this exercise to help us spot rising talent and get to know some of the best early-career researchers in the fields that we cover. The editors of published the first Innovators Under 35 list in 1999, and it's become a beloved annual tradition alongside our lists of 10 Breakthrough Technologies, 10 Climate Tech Companies to Watch, and (new this year) 10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now .

Akari describes her work on augmented language models, where language models are trained to use other models and tools. This has already resulted in OpenScholar, an open-source model which helps scientists to synthesize vast amounts of scientific literature. You were awarded the 2025 AAAI Doctoral Dissertation Award. What was the topic of your dissertation research, and why was this an interesting area of study to you? My PhD dissertation was on Retrieval-Augmented Language Models.
