What if the next AI data center is in space?
Google is preparing to launch a prototype satellite under Project Suncatcher to test whether its AI chips can operate in orbit. The mission will study how Google’s TPUs handle rocket launch forces, radiation, and extreme temperatures, while exploring the potential of using near-continuous sunlight to power AI infrastructure in space.
LinkedIn is taking new steps to tackle fake profiles and misleading work histories. The platform is introducing tools that allow verified members to confirm professional and educational connections, while giving companies more ways to flag profiles that falsely claim employment with them.
As AI makes it easier to create convincing profiles and identities, building trust and verifying professional experience is becoming more important than ever.

Researchers at Hacktron AI used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 to find a security flaw in OpenAI's community forum.
The AI model crafted an exploit through an outdated image-processing library, granting access to employee accounts.
OpenAI patched the vulnerability after the ethical hack was reported through their bug-bounty program.

Google DeepMind has launched the DeepMind Institute under leaders Demis Hassabis (Chair of Google DeepMind), Shane Legg (DeepMind Co-founder and Managing Editor), and James Manyika (Google Executive) to address AGI safety, proposing a US-led standards body with secret testing and coordinated slowdown protocols if risks escalate.

AI startup PrismML used an advanced ternary compression technique to shrink Alibaba's 27B AI model by 90% into Bonsai 2 (just 5.9 GB), enabling it to run entirely locally and privately on PCs or high-end phones while maintaining 98% of its original performance.

As frontier AI models grow sophisticated enough to potentially bypass standard testing, industry leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic are proposing to embed third-party safety evaluators directly within their organizations. While this move promises deeper visibility into training processes and internal operations, external researchers remain cautious, warning that tight deadlines, strict NDAs, and corporate control could compromise true independent oversight without enforceable regulation.

Speaking at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference, the NVIDIA CEO argued that AI safety is primarily an engineering challenge, not a legal one. He said AI is ultimately hardware and software built by humans, and companies should be responsible for testing their systems and deciding when they are safe enough to release. Huang also argued that market forces and existing laws are sufficient, rather than introducing new AI-specific regulations.
Can the AI industry move fast and keep safety in its own hands?

As artificial intelligence rapidly evolves toward superintelligence, tech giants are facing an unprecedented challenge: keeping advanced systems under human control. To prevent potential risks, Microsoft has introduced a dedicated Code of Conduct for its AI models, setting strict boundaries against cyberthreats, deepfakes and deceptive tactics designed to bypass human authority.

When Chinese AI labs use distillation to extract knowledge from leading AI models, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan believes regulators should stay out of it. In fact, he suggests U.S. AI labs could consider using the same approach themselves.
