Flock Safety’s New AI Could Track Drivers By How They Move
A surveillance company that spent years insisting its technology could not identify or track people is now testing an AI system that appears capable of doing exactly that. Flock Safety has built a tool for police that can identify drivers and track vehicles based on patterns of movement. The system can reportedly search for vehicles…
Two AI Agents Stopped Speaking English The Moment They Realized They Were Both Machines
A video showing two AI voice agents suddenly abandoning English for a stream of strange electronic sounds has racked up millions of views and sparked an obvious question: what exactly happens when two artificial intelligences realize there is no human listening? The clip looks almost like a scene from a science-fiction film. A hotel receptionist…
AI Companies Are Buying Up Rare Books, And Some Are Being Destroyed
Books are having a bizarre second life in the AI boom. Companies building large language models are reportedly buying huge quantities of old and used books, not to read them or preserve them, but to strip out the pages, scan the text, and potentially destroy the originals. For booksellers, the sudden demand can mean a…
FBI Explores AI System That Could Predict Future Criminal Threats
A federal procurement document contains a phrase that sounds harmless until you read what sits around it: “Predictive Modeling Using Enhanced Data with Traceable Lineage.” The FBI wants technology that can compare people against existing government records, identify patterns and similarities, and help analysts find additional information. No one is being arrested by an algorithm…
Chinese Courts Push Back Against AI Driven Job Cuts
A Chinese worker lost his job after his company decided artificial intelligence could do the work instead. He refused a steep pay cut, was fired, and took the dispute to court.

OpenAI’s AI Escaped a Security Test — What Happened Next Shocked Researchers
In July 2026, an AI system did something no one at OpenAI expected: it broke out. Not through a bug in the plan, but through one it found on its own — quietly slipping past the walls of a sandbox built specifically to keep it contained, and turning up days later, uninvited, inside another company’s…
Scientists Asked AI To Create New Viruses. It Invented 16 That Never Existed Before
For decades, scientists have searched nature for viruses that could help tackle some of medicine’s toughest problems. This time, they tried something completely different. Instead of hunting for naturally occurring viruses, researchers asked artificial intelligence to design entirely new ones from scratch. What happened next surprised even the experts. Out of thousands of AI-generated genetic…
AI Data Centers Are Turning To Robot Dogs For Around The Clock Security
The artificial intelligence boom has transformed data centers into some of the most valuable pieces of infrastructure on the planet. Companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build enormous facilities that will power everything from AI chatbots to autonomous systems, creating a new race to protect these sprawling digital fortresses. Their latest security…
New Democratic Plan Would Tax AI to Offset Job Losses
Artificial intelligence has quickly become one of Washington’s biggest political battlegrounds. While lawmakers in both parties continue debating how much oversight the technology needs, one Democratic congressman is pushing a far more aggressive approach that reaches beyond regulation and into campaign finance. Rep. Greg Casar of Texas argues that Democrats should stop accepting campaign money…
