Engineers at UNSW Sydney and Monash have developed an innovative way of sending hidden information that’s hard to intercept. Using a phenomenon known as “negative luminescence,” the system works by making signals blend perfectly into […]

A dubious link from a friend. A headline too sensational to be true. A video that seems fake but you can’t be sure. As online misinformation grows harder to detect, new artificial-intelligence tools promise to […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the defining technologies of what economists and policymakers describe as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This is an era in which digital, physical, and biological systems are increasingly intertwined. […]

The internet is rife with anonymous accounts as users adopt pseudonyms, sometimes for genuine reasons like speaking freely, and other times for nefarious ones. But this era of online privacy could be coming to a […]

Artificial intelligence models can now clone a voice with just a few seconds of audio, fueling a surge of deepfake songs online and creating a growing crisis for musicians who don’t want their voices hijacked. […]

Anthropic, a leading AI company, recently refused to sign a Pentagon contract that would allow the United States military “unrestricted access” to its technology for “all lawful purposes.” To sign, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei required […]

A study published in The Journal of Engineering Research at Sultan Qaboos University presents an advanced intrusion detection system (IDS) designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of identifying cyberattacks. The proposed model combines a […]

A new study from Abertay University reveals that the most effective way to protect people from AI voice scams is not through traditional warning messages, but by educating them about how advanced and authentic AI […]

Across Africa, governments are introducing digital systems that use individuals’ unique physical measurements to identify them. These systems collect citizens’ biometric and personal data and use it to give people access to essential public services […]

There are some things perhaps we might not want artificial intelligence to handle, at least for the time being. When leading chatbots were put through war-game simulations, they opted for nuclear signaling or escalation in […]
