The little pauses, “ums,” and moments when you struggle to find the right word may reveal far more about your brain than anyone realized. Researchers discovered that everyday speech patterns are closely tied to executive function — the mental system that powers memory, planning, focus, and flexible thinking. By using AI to analyze natural conversations, the team found they could predict cognitive performance with surprising accuracy, potentially opening the door to simple speech-based tools that could detect early signs of dementia long before traditional testing does.

OpenAI on just launched Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative that combines the company’s frontier AI models with Codex Security, its coding-focused agentic system, and a broad network of security partners. The program is aimed at developers, enterprise security teams, researchers, and government-linked defenders who need to find, validate, and patch software vulnerabilities earlier in the development […] The post OpenAI Introduces Daybreak: A Cybersecurity Initiative That Puts Codex Security at the Center of Vulnerability Detection and Patch Validation appeared first on MarkTechPost.
Researchers say generative AI is making it dramatically easier for people to file lawsuits, even as legal professionals are getting caught submitting hallucinated cases.
Researchers say multiplayer games may reveal AI behavior that static tests miss.
Researchers say works may have been incorrectly inscribed in 1700s, leading to centuries-long misunderstanding They are two small sketches by the Renaissance master Hans Holbein: one has long been considered to be a portrait of Henry VIII’s doomed second wife, Anne Boleyn, and the other is of an unknown woman whose name was lost to time. Now researchers using AI have discovered that the unnamed woman might be the tragic queen after all, while the other figure could in fact be Boleyn’s mother. Continue reading...
Using AI tools, the team reworked part of the ribosome to need one less amino acid.
Chatbots trained to respond warmly give poorer answers and worse health advice, researchers say The rush to make AI chatbots more friendly has a troubling downside, researchers say. The warm personas make them prone to mistakes and sympathetic to crackpot beliefs. Chatbots trained to respond more warmly gave poorer answers, worse health advice and even supported conspiracy theories by casting doubt on events such as the Apollo moon landings and the fate of Adolf Hitler.
