The article discusses a research development that aims to enable artificial intelligence models to estimate uncertainty and acknowledge lack of knowledge when evidence is insufficient, especially in the medical field, through methods such as metacognitive reinforcement learning, emphasizing that normative confidence is no less important than accuracy, and that implicit human expertise remains a challenge for machines.
The “Global Digital Trust Insights 2027” report issued by PwC revealed that organizations are still far from reaching a unified model for distributing responsibility for artificial intelligence risks, despite the increase in spending on cybersecurity and the increased use of artificial intelligence in operations, as 29% believe that the responsibility falls on the responsibility of the IT leader, and 26% see it as the responsibility of an independent department for artificial intelligence, while artificial intelligence has become an increasing target for attacks, with half of security leaders indicating a lack of preparedness to confront it.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has submitted a request to the European Union Intellectual Property Office to register her voice as a trademark to protect herself from artificial intelligence-generated deepfake clips. The request included a four-second audio recording in which the phrase “I am Giorgia Meloni” is repeated twice, and the request is still under consideration.
OpenAI has fired three researchers for violating policies for handling sensitive information, amid growing global concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence technologies and their potential risks to humanity.
SpaceX has launched a Google satellite with the aim of testing the operation of artificial intelligence devices in harsh space conditions. The project raises questions about expanding orbital infrastructure and the dangers of space debris.
Nine AI systems from the United States, China, Europe, and Africa predicted the winners of the 2026 Nobel Prizes, with the majority agreeing that GLP-1 research deserves the medicine prize, while five systems favored Chinese writer Ding Xiaohua to win the literature prize and another five favored David R. Leo with the Chemistry Prize, with a clear difference in the Peace Prize predictions and notable errors in the predictions.
An engineer, using artificial intelligence, succeeded in decoding a military code dating back to the era of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1809, coinciding with Egypt’s announcement of a draft regulation for the Medical Syndicate controlling their media appearances.
RT - Business Development Company displayed a Russian robot that heals wounds by scanning them, creating a 3D model, and applying a solution containing living cells layer by layer, based on the local collaborative robot DOKA RC5, and aims to improve the lives of military personnel, firefighters, children, and motorcyclists. The exhibition also witnessed the first Russian vaccine to revaccinate adults against whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus from “Natsimbio,” while “Rostec” plans to invest more than 10 billion rubles in medical projects until the year 2030.
British experts are using artificial intelligence and robotics to create a massive digital museum that includes about 70 million samples of animals, plants and fossils, with the aim of accelerating the process of digitizing them and understanding environmental changes.
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an ultra-thin swimming robot that relies on a single layer of living muscle cells to generate movement. It is built on a gelatinous structure the size of a piece of gum and covered with muscle layers thinner than a human hair, genetically modified to contract when exposed to light. It enables it to swim and turn inside a water maze at a speed of up to four times its length per minute, in a design that aims to reduce the size of hybrid biorobots and improve their efficiency compared to systems that rely on larger three-dimensional muscle masses. Size.
OpenAI announced the postponement of the launch of its new artificial intelligence model, “GPT-1.6 Astra,” for security reasons, coinciding with Apple’s unveiling of its first foldable phone, “iPhone Duo,” at a price of $1,999 amid the challenges of the phone sector.
The American company Anthropic accused Russian agents of using its intelligent assistant, “Cloud,” to spread pro-Russian propaganda and monitor opponents in the Central African Republic, and revealed similar use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan, and Mali between December 2025 and August 2026.
Some electric car riders report experiencing severe motion sickness, particularly linked to regenerative braking and silent operation, though experts note limited evidence and suggest genetic or habituation factors may play a role.
CNN Arabic analysis revealed that the video circulating on social media, which claims to document screaming inside a Flydubai plane heading to Tel Aviv, is fake in terms of sound, while the scenes remain real and show a plane about to land at Dubai Airport, and not over northwest Saudi Arabia as the publication claimed, and this coincides with a real emergency landing incident of a Flydubai flight in Tabuk due to an argument in the cockpit.
A week after a cybercriminal group announced the theft of sensitive personal data of thousands of current and former employees of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the bureau is still assessing the extent of the damage, while facing internal criticism over its handling of the incident, as employees felt they were left without clear information about whether they had been harmed or not, and resented the security resources available to victims.
