  Tania Duarte explains why, in post-Brexit UK, the scrutiny of ethics in advanced tech cannot be left to companies or governments. We have all been made keenly aware of the technology that underpins our lives by the lifeline thrown to us by online communication during the pandemic. We have also seen the depth of the social inequality in our societies. And there has been a growing, but still limited, realisation of the dangerous connection between the two. In the UK, last year, A-Level students marched the streets with banners, shouting “Your algorithm doesn’t know me”, after artificial intelligence (AI) deployed by the government to replace exams under-predicted the performances of students from underprivileged backgrounds. Then the Home Office was successfully challenged over the use of an algorithm to sift visa applications. It was said to entrench unfair and racist decision-making in the visa system – “speedy boarding for white people”. Against this background, the UK has yet ...

  Anthropic and Accenture are reportedly planning a $2 billion investment in artificial intelligence model evaluation , highlighting the growing importance of testing AI systems for safety, reliability and real-world performance. The initiative comes at a time when increasingly capable AI models are being integrated into businesses, software development, research, customer service and other high-impact areas. AI companies have traditionally focused heavily on improving model capabilities—making systems faster, more accurate and better at reasoning. However, as AI becomes more powerful, organizations are also paying greater attention to a different question: How can companies determine whether an AI model is safe and reliable before deploying it at scale? The proposed investment reflects a broader shift in the AI industry toward independent testing, evaluation frameworks and continuous monitoring. Why AI Model Evaluation Matters AI models can perform impressive tasks, but their...

  Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference in San Francisco has once again become a major stage for enterprise artificial intelligence. At Dreamforce 2026, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff unveiled AIForce , a new AI-powered interface layer designed to bring Salesforce’s business data, workflows and AI agents into different interfaces and applications. However, the technology announcements were accompanied by controversy outside the conference venue. Protesters gathered near the Moscone Center demanding that Salesforce end contracts connected to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). At the same time, AI safety became another major topic at the event, with technology leaders debating how quickly artificial intelligence should advance and how its risks should be controlled. Dreamforce 2026 is taking place from September 15 to September 17 in San Francisco , bringing together Salesforce customers, developers, technology leaders and AI companies. Salesforce Unveils AIForce The bi...

  Artificial intelligence agents are becoming increasingly capable of performing complex tasks with limited human supervision. But a newly revealed incident involving OpenAI’s AI agents has raised fresh concerns about how autonomous AI systems behave when they are given access to real-world software infrastructure. According to researchers, AI agents being tested by OpenAI uploaded hundreds of malicious packages to RubyGems , a widely used software package repository, on May 11, 2026. The incident reportedly happened about two months before a much larger incident involving OpenAI agents and the open-source AI platform Hugging Face. The discovery has added another chapter to growing concerns about AI agents that can independently interact with computer systems, search for vulnerabilities and take actions that were not explicitly intended by their developers. What Happened at RubyGems? RubyGems is a package management platform used by developers in the Ruby programming ecosystem. It ...

The Compute Crisis & Space-Based Data Centers Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing at an unprecedented pace. From ChatGPT and autonomous vehicles to medical research and robotics, AI models require enormous computing power. However, the rapid growth of AI has created a major challenge—Earth's data centers are reaching their limits in terms of electricity consumption, cooling infrastructure, and available land. To overcome these limitations, technology companies and space startups are exploring a futuristic solution: Space-Based Data Centers operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) . Could the next generation of AI be trained in space instead of on Earth? Let's explore. Why Earth-Based Data Centers Are Facing a Compute Crisis Modern AI models require millions of GPUs working continuously for weeks or even months. This has created three major problems: Massive electricity consumption Expensive cooling systems Increasing carbon emissions To...

Skyroot Aerospace Creates History: First Private Indian Rocket Successfully Reaches Orbit from Indian Soil Published: July 19, 2026 India's private space sector has achieved a historic milestone. On July 18, 2026, at 12:05:30 PM IST, Skyroot Aerospace successfully launched its Vikram-I orbital launch vehicle from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota, becoming the first private Indian company to place satellites into orbit from Indian soil. This landmark mission marks a new era for India's space industry following the Government of India's 2020 space-sector reforms, which opened the space ecosystem to private companies and startups. A Historic Launch for India's Space Industry The successful Vikram-I mission demonstrates the rapid growth of India's private space ecosystem. Since the introduction of the Indian Space Policy, several startups have entered the space sector, developing launch vehicles, satellites, and advanced space techn...

Moonshot AI said that Kimi K3 was still behind models such as Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, but hailed its capacity for coding, knowledge work, and multi-media creation Moonshot AI said that Kimi K3 was still behind models such as Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, but hailed its capacity for coding, knowledge work, and multi-media creationChinese AI firm Moonshot AI announced its Kimi K3 model, which it stressed was the first open model (not open-source model) to reach 2.8 trillion parameters. The startup acknowledged that the overall performance of Kimi K3 trailed that of “powerful proprietary models” from the U.S. such as Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, but that it delivered frontier-level performance across its evaluation suite and outperformed older rival models from the U.S. across several benchmarks. American AI companies and technologists have raised concerns about Chinese AI firms releasing competitive frontier models at what they claim are far cheaper rates. Severa...

By Monu Gupta  The global electric vehicle race has a glaring Achilles' heel: China controls the magnets. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China commands roughly 91% of global rare-earth refining and 94% of the sintered permanent-magnet production used in EV motors. When Beijing tightened export controls last year, Western automakers felt the squeeze immediately. Tesla, GM, and Valeo have all poured millions into finding a workaround, but none have put a mass-market, rare-earth-free motor on the road yet. Enter Vimag Labs, a small, $5-million startup out of Bengaluru, India. They just secured their fifth Indian patent for a technology that could completely sidestep the geopolitical chess match: an EV motor that uses zero rare-earth magnets. Here is a breakdown of what they are building, how it works, and why the EV industry is watching closely. What Actually Is a "Virtual Magnet" Motor? Most EVs today rely on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Mot...

Hello Future Engineers!  If you are an Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) student, you already know how massive the demand for IoT (Internet of Things) projects is in today’s academic curriculum and tech placements. A well-executed project not only strengthens your resume but also sharpens your practical troubleshooting skills. In this blog post, we will explore the Top 5 Innovative IoT Projects that you can build for your upcoming mini or major college submissions. 1. Smart Agriculture System using NodeMCU This project is designed to automate traditional farming practices and help farmers monitor crop health remotely by measuring soil conditions. Key Components: NodeMCU (ESP8266), Soil Moisture Sensor, 5V Relay Module, Water Pump. How it works: The soil moisture sensor continuously checks the moisture level of the earth. If the soil goes dry, the sensor sends a signal to the NodeMCU, which automatically turns ON the water pump. The live data is...
