Elon Musk is renaming SpaceX's AI division from SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, following President Donald Trump's executive order that encourages using the term super intelligence instead of artificial intelligence. Musk confirmed the change on social media platform X, though he has not shared a timeline for when the rename will take effect. Trump previously stated that US government documents would adopt the super prefix in place of artificial. The move aligns Musk's company branding with the administration's preferred language around advanced technology.
Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Trump's approach to AI regulation, warning that limited federal oversight could leave the technology without sufficient safeguards. Newsom shared his remarks on X, where he mocked Trump's vision of a golden age of super intelligence. His comments add to the growing political debate over how to manage AI development, with some leaders pushing for stronger rules while others favor minimal intervention.
Internal documents from Microsoft, revealed through a New York Times lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, show that executives understood the destructive potential of AI before rushing products to market. Microsoft admitted that its AI content strategy created a doom loop threatening the economic foundations of its own content supply chain. Tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini summarize articles without driving readers to original sources, hurting journalists and other creators. Job seekers and recruiters are also caught in similar loops as both sides rely on AI tools, experts warn that AI is eroding the economic incentives to produce the cultural content that AI models depend on.
Cybersecurity experts say attackers now use AI to automate their operations, and security teams must respond at the same pace. Research from Check Point shows organizations use about ten AI apps each month, and high-risk AI usage has doubled. The findings call for security operations that can connect events across systems and act at machine speed rather than relying on more dashboards. CISOs must balance AI adoption with strong governance to reduce exposure.
A guest column cautions against over-relying on artificial intelligence, drawing on examples from calculators, computers and radar. The author argues that while AI produces answers or solutions, people must still judge whether those results make sense. Engineering and maritime examples stress that human oversight should remain central. The piece warns against letting automated systems make decisions without informed human responsibility.
Cornell University is expanding its AI and data science capacity through new faculty hires supported by the Radical Collaboration initiative. The university aims to build a research community that spans multiple disciplines. The expansion focuses on strengthening expertise in artificial intelligence and data science across departments.
A study finds that AI makes digital services like mobile apps far more attractive and can triple their user base at home and abroad. However, when governments restrict data from crossing borders, the benefits of AI are cut in half. The article highlights a policy tension between privacy and security rules and the global reach of digital services, calling for a more nuanced approach to data regulation in international trade.
A Dartmouth professor explains how AI can make fake videos look so real that even genuine footage is questioned. He describes cases involving a missile strike video and an enhanced photo that added a gun to a scene. He estimates about half of widely viewed online content is fake, often called AI slop. The article also details how deepfakes are used in disinformation, fraud and remote job interviews by hidden North Korean workers.
St. Paul Public Schools is creating an Artificial Intelligence Governance Policy to be adopted by the end of the 2027-28 school year. The district is engaging students, staff, families and the community to design the policy. AI search tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude are blocked on district devices for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Educators at Open World Learning Community are leading efforts to help students think critically about AI.
An AI engineer used GPT-6 Astra to break a cipher from the headquarters of Eugène de Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepson, that had been unread since 1809. The message was a troop briefing sent to French General Auguste de Marmont relaying Napoleon's orders. Astra completed the multi-modal workflow in about six hours using a single image and goal. The AI used a partial key and its own simulated-annealing solver to crack the 24 rows of custom symbols. The solution has been verified and marked as solved by Satoshi Tomokiyo on Cryptiana's Unsolved Historical Ciphers database.
