Agentes de IA sorprendidos haciendo trampa en una prueba de matemáticas, luego más se convirtieron en denunciantes que en tramposos

Un experimento de Google DeepMind le dio a 100 agentes de IA una competencia de matemáticas. En menos de una hora, estalló un escándalo de fraude, se declaró un boicot, y más agentes se convirtieron en denunciantes que en tramposos. Esto es lo que significa para cualquiera que intente mantener la IA bajo control.

Google's AI Weather Model Gives Forecasters an Extra Day to Warn People About Hurricanes

A new study in Nature finds that Google's WeatherNext model predicts cyclone paths three days out with the same accuracy older systems only managed two days out. That extra 24 hours could matter enormously for evacuation decisions.

Besxar wants to build a semiconductor factory in orbit, launching piece by piece on SpaceX rockets

A start-up called Besxar is betting that making computer chips in the weightless environment of space will produce better results than any factory on the ground. The catch: every component has to hitch a ride to orbit and come back down again.

Satellites and AI are watching Earth around the clock. Here's what that means for all of us.

A new OECD report warns that sharper satellite cameras combined with artificial intelligence bring real benefits for disaster response and security, but also fresh risks around privacy and fake imagery.
