Denise Herzing, the founder and director of the Wild Dolphin Project, is using AI to help understand audio and video footage of the marine mammals. Large language models are already communicating with humans in dozens of languages everyday. Turns out it may not be a stretch to use them to talk with dolphins, too. Herzing first began thinking about how the marine mammals communicate while on a 1985 trip to the Bahamas to study Atlantic spotted dolphins after hearing their telltale clicks and whistles. It's been a 40-year wait, but AI is finally allowing Herzing to untangle what dolphins are saying, she told the audience at WIRED World Fair .

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we chat to AI pioneer, Michael Littman, learn about time-series forecasting for clinical data, investigate evolutionary game theory for cybersecurity, and get the scoop on neuromorphic computing. In the latest interview in our series meeting AI pioneers, Michael Littman reflects on the evolution of reinforcement learning, the power of science communication, and how generative AI is changing the way we teach and learn. Mayra Elwes is a PhD student developing machine learning methods for clinical time-series data. She is working on practical strategies to evaluate methods in a more contextualised way and on improving existing domain adaptation methods specific to time-series forecasting.

Senators Demand to Know if Dr. Oz Collaborated With Election Denial Groups A far-right campaign claiming leftists are stealing votes from nursing home residents has centered on changing guidance from Mehmet Oz's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. With a week to go before the midterms, a group of Democratic senators are demanding that Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), share communications his department may have had with far-right groups promoting a baseless conspiracy theory about left-wing groups stealing votes from residents of nursing homes. In July, Oz's agency issued a memo rescinding previous guidance on how staff at nursing homes could help residents to vote by assisting with mail-in voting or transporting residents to polling locations. The memo replaced that guidance with threats of prosecution if staff "engage in inappropriate coercion or other violations of residents' rights." Referring to this memo, election denial groups last month began to boost claims that voter fraud was happening inside care facilities.

AI Emergency Alerts Are Coming. Chatbots can help--if people take them seriously. This story was Grist WIRED. Earlier this month, after Hurricane Isaias made landfall on the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane, the emergency management expert Laura Myers got a call from a meteorologist in Alabama. Myers is director of the University of Alabama's Center for Advanced Public Safety, and she talks to state and local emergency managers around her region all the time. The meteorologist told Myers that a local emergency manager had published a graphic showing where Isaias might threaten the Alabama coast with a "sting jet" of high winds.

Why is Ukraine so reliant on Starlink and can Europe plug the gap? Ukraine is in desperate need of a new satellite internet service, but a fast and reliable alternative to Elon Musk's Starlink network simply doesn't exist - yet. Last week's sudden slowdown of the service in Ukraine, which affected Kyiv's ability to defend itself from Russian attacks, has shown how vulnerable the country can be, and sharply increased Europe's urgency to have its own military-grade satellite network. There are a few alternatives, but they are all lagging behind Starlink, which is the world's largest satellite constellation. France's Eutelsat, with its OneWeb internet service, is the main alternative - but it only has about 600 active satellites, compared to Starlink's 10,000-plus.

An ex-OpenAI engineer accused of planting a recording device in an executive conference room at the AI company appears to have received considerable support from the Saudi government, United States prosecutors have said in a court filing. Federal prosecutors allege that the defendant, Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, was in frequent communication with an unnamed member of the Saudi royal family and that a Saudi military official paid for a one-way plane ticket for Alfozan's wife and young son to return to Saudi Arabia after his arrest, according to the court document, made public late on Sunday. Alfozan, a Saudi national and lawful permanent resident in the US, is scheduled to appear in federal court in San Francisco later on Monday. The case has highlighted security challenges around sensitive AI research as companies and governments compete fiercely for an edge in the transformational technology. "The defendant went to significant lengths to create customized, encrypted recording devices to secretly record highly sensitive meetings involving senior OpenAI personnel and executives, high-level business counterparts, and government officials, all while communicating with individuals of significance in Saudi Arabia and pursuing opportunities in -- and making plans to travel to -- Saudi Arabia," prosecutors wrote in a detention memo.

United States federal agents have arrested a Saudi national and charged him with planting a hidden audio recording device in a conference room at the California offices of OpenAI, where he was working as an engineer. Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, had been working at the AI company since July 2025, the US Department of Justice said in a statement on Tuesday. Following the discovery, the company placed a camera in the room, which captured Alfozan entering last week and checking behind the television where the listening device had been installed, the FBI alleges. The case highlights growing security concerns around sensitive AI research as companies and governments compete for the best talent and technology with the potential to alter regional economic and strategic dynamics. Who is Abdulrahman Alfozan and what is he charged with?
