A coalition of top cybersecurity agencies, including NSA, FBI, and CISA, has unveiled new guidance to combat emerging threats to AI systems. The guidance warns about risks like data poisoning, supply chain flaws, and data drift that could compromise AI systems. It urges organizations to implement security measures across all phases of the AI lifecycle—planning, data collection, model building, and operational monitoring. Key recommendations include verifying third-party datasets, using secure ingestion protocols, and auditing system behavior regularly. The guidance stresses preventing model poisoning and tracking data lineage for integrity. Organizations are encouraged to revise their incident response plans, audit ongoing projects, and build cross-functional teams. As AI models become integral to critical infrastructure, robust data security is essential.

Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has developed an AI-based brain mapping technology that has received FDA authorization for use in neurosurgery. The Cirrus Resting State fMRI Software rapidly identifies critical brain areas controlling functions like speech and movement, enhancing precision in tumor removal and epilepsy treatment. This technology, licensed to startup Sora Neuroscience, analyzes brain activity patterns in just 12 minutes of fMRI scanning. It offers broader accessibility for brain mapping, including for patients who struggle with traditional task-based fMRI

A new study claims artificial intelligence surpasses human emotional understanding, especially in intense situations. Researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern applied emotional intelligence tests to various AI language models like ChatGPT-4 and Gemini 1.5 Flash. The AI achieved a 81% accuracy rate in selecting correct emotional responses, compared to 56% for humans. Experts caution that the tests may oversimplify human emotions, highlighting AI’s pattern recognition rather than genuine emotional insight. These findings suggest AI’s potential in real-world applications, as demonstrated by Aílton, a conversational AI used by Brazilian truck drivers.

DeepL, an AI translation company, has announced a dramatic reduction in processing time for translating the entire internet: from 194 days to just 18.5 days. This achievement is made possible by Nvidia’s DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB200, located in Sweden. The advanced system also allows DeepL to translate the Oxford English Dictionary in two seconds and process lengthy novels in less than 0.09 seconds. This technological leap aims to enhance DeepL’s language AI platform, improve translation accuracy, and develop new features.
