Could AI 'change the stakes' in the development of bioweapons?

The Guardian

Sir Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, raised concerns over the use of AI by hostile groups. Sir Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, raised concerns over the use of AI by hostile groups. In his annual speech on threats to the nation, Sir Ken McCallum, the head of the UK's intelligence service, MI5, warned that AI had the potential to "change the stakes" on existing and even new bioweapons. Here we look at how AI might help in the development of bioweapons and the hurdles that remain. How could AI help people make bioweapons?


Cat-Like Whiskers Help Tiny Drones Fly in the Dark

WIRED

Researchers took lessons from nocturnal animals to help rescue drones overcome a key challenge: flying in the dark. A drone that can fit in the palm of your hand navigates using two wire "whiskers." After a disaster like a landslide, an earthquake, or a major fire, rescue workers have to locate survivors as soon as possible, and they are increasingly using drones for this critical task--especially ultra-compact drones that can fit into the crevices of a collapsed structure. There are, however, some serious limitations to the technology. Weighing less than a stick of butter, ultra-compact drones don't have as much compute or power capacity as larger models, and this restricts the power of their sensors.


Prize-winning image which sparked backlash was AI-generated, Nikon rules

The winner of a prestigious scientific photography competition has been disqualified following concerns raised by other scientists that it was fake. Nikon said the use of generative AI in the composition of the video broke the rules of its Small World In Motion contest, which accepts photos and video taken using powerful microscopes. The firm said the video did not comply with the competition rules regarding generative AI, but added it was not a judgement of the entrant's professional reputation or scientific contributions.

The Download: AI roadblocks for humanoids and portable rubber dams

MIT Technology Review

Plus: Scientists in Austria and China have built the first nuclear clocks. The hype around humanoid robots is reaching fever pitch. Much of it comes from the idea that the same AI advances behind ChatGPT and Claude could enable robots to imitate human movement the way chatbots imitate human language. But many researchers are skeptical. They argue that such assumptions minimize the challenges of using an intelligence built on language and images to master the infinite variability of the physical world. They also point out that conflating humanoids with so-called generalist machines is misleading.


The world's first nuclear clocks are ticking

Popular Science

Technology Engineering The world's first nuclear clocks are ticking Nuclear clocks may surpass their atomic forebears and help solve the universe's most difficult mysteries.

Timekeeping has officially entered its nuclear age. Two independent teams, one in Vienna, Austria and another in Beijing, China have built working thorium-229 nuclear clock prototypes . Rather than track changes in an atom's electrons the way that current atomic clocks do, these nuclear versions use a laser that's tuned to the frequency where a thorium nucleus flips between two energy states for potentially even more accurate time keeping.

A Decade-Long Experiment Is Unlocking the Mysteries of the Ocean's 'Deep Reefs'

WIRED

A Decade-Long Experiment Is Unlocking the Mysteries of the Ocean's'Deep Reefs' Scientists left structures up to 100 meters under the surface. Here's what they found when they retrieved them 10 years later. On a bright, sunny day last May, I stood on a boat surrounded by the turquoise waters of the island nation of Palau . I was there in the western Pacific watching scuba divers as they prepared to bring up evidence of a mysterious aquatic world. Palau is famous for its spectacular and rich coral reefs . But these divers were planning to descend past those sun-lit marine communities and down into a lesser-known twilight zone known as the "mesophotic coral ecosystem." Divers prepare to retrieve research structures from down in the "deep reefs."
