Share values of property services firms tumble over fears of AI disruption

The Guardian

The share declines were sparked by AI firms such as Anthropic, the company behind the chatbot Claude, releasing new tools.

But, after second day of Wall Street falls, analysts say sell-off'may overstate AI's immediate risk to complex deal-making' Shares in commercial property services companies have tumbled, in the latest sell-off driven by fears over disruption from artificial intelligence. After steep declines on Wall Street, European stocks in the sector were hit on Thursday. The estate agent Savills' shares fell 7.5% in London, while the serviced office provider International Workplace Group, which owns the Regus brand, lost 9%.


Ring can now verify if a video has been altered

Engadget

How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit The new tool can ensure you're looking at a real video and not AI slop. A Ring camera mounted on the wall. Ring has launched a new tool that can tell you if a video clip captured by its camera has been altered or not. The company says that every video downloaded from Ring starting in December 2025 going forward will come with a digital security seal. "Think of it like the tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle," it explained. Its new tool, called Ring Verify, can tell you if a video has been altered in any way.


ToolkenGPT: Augmenting Frozen Language Models with Massive Tools via Tool Embeddings

Neural Information Processing Systems

Integrating large language models (LLMs) with various tools has led to increased attention in the field. Existing approaches either involve fine-tuning the LLM, which is both computationally costly and limited to a fixed set of tools, or prompting LLMs by in-context tool demonstrations. Although the latter method offers adaptability to new tools, it struggles with the inherent context length constraint of LLMs when many new tools are presented, and mastering a new set of tools with few-shot examples remains challenging, resulting in suboptimal performance.


A new tool can help you write better AI prompts

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Anyone who uses AI tools regularly has run into the same problem: the idea is clear in your head, but the model keeps giving you something off-target. PromptBuilder tries to cut down that back-and-forth. You explain what you're trying to do, and it turns that into a cleaner, more direct prompt that works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and several other platforms. You can start from scratch or pick from a large collection of templates for writing help, coding tasks, product descriptions, SEO requests, research questions, social posts, and more.



Democratizing AI scientists using ToolUniverse

AI scientists are emerging computational systems that serve as collaborative partners in discovery. These systems remain difficult to build because they are bespoke, tied to rigid workflows, and lack shared environments that unify tools, data, and analyses into a common ecosystem. In genomics, unified ecosystems have transformed research by enabling interoperability, reuse, and community-driven development; AI scientists require comparable infrastructure. We present ToolUniverse, an ecosystem for building AI scientists from any language or reasoning model across open- and closed-weight models. ToolUniverse standardizes how AI scientists identify and call tools by providing more than 600 machine learning models, datasets, APIs, and scientific packages for data analysis, knowledge retrieval, and experimental design. It automatically refines tool interfaces for correct use by AI scientists, generates new tools from natural language descriptions, iteratively optimizes tool specifications, and composes tools into agentic workflows. In a case study of hypercholesterolemia, ToolUniverse was used to create an AI scientist to identify a potent analog of a drug with favorable predicted properties. The open-source ToolUniverse is available at https://aiscientist.tools.


Google Injects Gemini Into Chrome as AI Browsers Go Mainstream

WIRED

Google weaving Gemini further into the popular Chrome browser is an inflection point for AI in our software, although some users will still be looking for the "off" switch. Google is adding multiple new AI features to Chrome, the most popular browser in the world. The most visible change is a new button in Chrome that launches the Gemini chatbot, but there are also new tools for searching, researching, and answering questions with AI. Google has additional cursor-controlling "agentic" tools in the pipeline for Chrome as well. The Gemini in Chrome mode for the web browser uses generative AI to answer questions about content on a page and synthesize information across multiple open tabs.


California's wildfire moonshot: How new technology will defeat advancing flames

Los Angeles Times

The spark becomes a flame, and within seconds, a satellite dish swirling overhead picks up on the anomaly and triggers an alarm. An autonomous helicopter takes flight and zooms toward the fire, using sensors to locate the blaze and artificial intelligence to generate a plan of attack. It measures the wind speed and fire movement, communicating constantly with the unmanned helicopter behind it, and the one behind that. Los Angeles knows how to weather a crisis -- or two or three. Angelenos are tapping into that resilience, striving to build a city for everyone.


Cursor's New Bugbot Is Designed to Save Vibe Coders From Themselves

WIRED

Anysphere, the company behind the wildly popular vibe coding platform Cursor, is officially launching a new tool that's designed to spot errors in code. The release comes as software developers are expected to code at a higher velocity than ever before due to the rise of AI-assisted coding. The new tool, Bugbot, integrates with Github, a platform where engineers keep their code. When a human or agent introduces changes, Bugbot automatically flags any errors. While that's crucial for human coders, it's particularly useful when using AI coding agents, which work incredibly fast and can introduce errors that are difficult for humans to spot and untangle.


Dead Sea Scrolls possibly even older than scholars thought

Popular Science

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A specially designed artificial intelligence program named after a Judaic prophet suggests one of biblical archeology's greatest finds require reexamination. According to an international team of researchers in consultation with "Enoch," some of the Dead Sea Scrolls may be a bit older than we thought. Their evidence is laid out in a study published on June 4 in the journal PLOS One. The Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most remarkable and revolutionary archeological discoveries ever made.
