NASA and IBM have unveiled the open Lunar Foundation Model AI, trained on petabytes of LRO data collected over 17 years. The system is more accurate than existing algorithms in searching for lunar ice and mapping craters.

Ukrainian companies are integrating artificial intelligence into missile systems: over 200 manufacturers are developing AI components for missiles, drones and radars, stated the head of Brave1.

OpenAI’s chief scientist Jakub Pachocki warned in his essay “An Alien Mind” that AI may surpass human intelligence while reliable control methods remain absent, and called for a voluntary slowdown of scaling.

China's Ministry of Commerce refuted US intelligence agencies' allegations of AI model theft and declared its readiness for negotiations with the United States. In Beijing, officials warned of "resolute countermeasures" in the event of suppression of Chinese AI companies. The statement came against the backdrop of preparations for Xi Jinping's visit to the White House.

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside have proposed the "substrate flexibility" hypothesis: consciousness may arise in non-biological forms and on the basis of different chemistry. The work is theoretical in nature and is not evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Using deep learning, scientists analyzed more than 2 million seismic records from 1990–2024 and discovered six anomalous bands at Earth's core–mantle boundary, at a depth of 2,900 km. The results were published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.

OpenAI has introduced an "automated research intern": AI agents under human control perform scientific tasks, and their total working time is 3.14 times greater than that of all the company's employees combined.

Mathematics proves that no AI will become omnipotent. The theorems of Turing and Rice set a limit on the development of superintelligence and refute the myth of the technological singularity.

A Google Gemini-based AI system proposed in 48 hours a hypothesis about the mechanism of genetic element transfer between bacteria that matched the conclusions of ten years of laboratory research.

French researchers linked daily ChatGPT use to impaired memory and social isolation among young people, but noted that selective use of AI conversely boosts creativity.

UCAB and UCABevent have unveiled the LFM 2026 programme — the XVII 'Effective Management of Agro Companies' conference, which will take place in Kyiv on September 8. The focus is on rebuilding business models, European integration, and the role of AI.

Three leading AI services — ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok — simultaneously became unavailable to users worldwide. The developers have not yet explained the cause of the outage or the expected recovery time.

A study in the journal AI & Society describes the phenomenon of “robotoid humanness”: regular communication with chatbots quietly teaches people to simplify their language and copy algorithmic reactions.

Harvard historian Jill Lepore warned on the Hard Fork podcast about the formation of an 'artificial state,' where AI algorithms and corporations are displacing democratic institutions. She develops these theses in her book 'The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State.'
