“The code could operate completely normally in NIPR and do something malicious and undisclosed in a SIPR network, that is 100 percent possible,” says Williams. Exfiltrating data out of these networks would be difficult, he adds, but malicious code could be used to attack the systems from the inside. “I think the most likely thing would be some kind of distributed denial of service attack,” he says.

Triner says that even something more subtle, such as slowing down intelligence operations and activities, could cause damage and make users lose trust in a tool, even once the problem is fixed.

Today, we’re launching “Polar Peaks”, our third quest in the AI Quests series, created by Google Research and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning to teach students how AI works and how to use it responsibly. AI Quests invites students ages 11 to 14 to step into the shoes of Google researchers to tackle some of humanity’s biggest challenges.

More than 400,000 quests have been completed to date, localized to 10 languages. Alongside the new quest, we’re also releasing training modules for teachers.

Polar Peaks: A journey to map the human brain

In the first two quests, students tackle flood forecasting

Now you can generate, preview, and edit PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, slide decks, Markdown files, TXT files, and code directly within Google Gemini. The new file editing capabilities are available starting today for all Gemini users, and while PDF previews/editing works on both the web and mobile, all other file formats are only in the web version for now.

Google added support for generating and downloading files in Gemini earlier this year, but now you can tweak those files without leaving the Gemini app. Google says you can expand documents to edit them in full-screen mode and highlight

Meta has quietly launched Style Sketch, an AI fashion app that helps users put together outfit ideas using clothes they already own. The app connects to Instagram to build a virtual closet from photos you’ve posted, or lets you add items manually by snapping a photo, recording a quick video, or uploading images from your camera roll.

Style Sketch then suggests outfit combinations built from your wardrobe matched to your style. Users can then try on the outfits on a “realistic model matched to your body shape and skin tone,” the app description reads.

A study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology provides new insights into how skyrmions behave and how scientists can control them. The findings could help researchers develop smaller, more efficient computing systems and advance emerging quantum technologies.

Most of the research was conducted at the Institute

An experiment by Anthropic with 50 experts found that people often followed their AI agent’s randomly assigned preference on questions with no clearly right answer, and most thought the final result was their own.

Handing a data analysis to an AI agent saves time and manual work, but it raises the question of who actually makes the decisions that shape the final recommendation. An Anthropic study suggests the agent makes most of them, often without the experts noticing.

In the experiment, 50 experts in causal inference worked on a realistic analysis task where they examined observational data from a

Agents present new kinds of problems that generative AI alone does not. They inherit the unpredictability of the LLMs they are built on, but where a generative AI system produces a single output for a human to act on, an agent performs longer tasks—it plans, picks tools, spawns sub-agents, and takes actions. So an agent’s course can take shape in a multitude of different ways, and no tests before launch can fully anticipate the risks. This makes observing the agents while they work even more challenging, and even more important.

ZDNET’s key takeaways

• LE Audio is more than Auracast.
• Bluetooth headphones with LE Audio transmit audio in new ways across the board.
• Your LE Audio headphones have several less-discussed new tricks.

The shift from Classic Bluetooth to LE Audio is in full swing, as JBL and Sony release flagship headphones and earbuds with built-in LE Audio. Bose is the latest to upgrade its flagship headphones via an OTA firmware update.

Also: Apple has a Bluetooth problem, and Android is taking advantage

Better voice quality

LE Audio includes the Low Complexity Communication Codec (LC3), which includes the unified Telephony and Media
