As AI agents grow ever more capable, enterprises racing to put them to work across applications, workflows, and products face a new challenge: ensuring an agent does what it’s supposed to do when it’s deployed across different environments. Microsoft is trying to solve this problem with a new open source standard called Agent Control Specification (ACS) that aims to give developers a more consistent and granular way to control what AI agents are allowed to do. The specification essentially lets developer, compliance, and security teams define their own policies for agents to follow. The rules can define what the agent…

Physical AI moved from research demonstration to production reality at Computex this week. Nvidia released an open humanoid robot reference design and a physical AI model built for real-world use, confirming what those paying close attention already suspected: the tech stack for embodied AI is now available off the shelf. The focus is no longer on whether it can be built, but rather where it will be implemented first on a large scale. The Gulf region provides a compelling response to that. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar are in the middle of some of the most ambitious infrastructure buildouts…

Head coach Adam Hollioake insists there’s more to come as Kent Spitfires grow into the T20 Blast.The Spitfires have made an excellent start to the T20 Blast campaign with three wins out of four group games.Keith Dudgeon staked his claim for more game time with 2-22 against Surrey on Sunday. Picture: Keith GillardThey thrashed Surrey by eight wickets on Sunday – winning with six overs to spare at The Oval – to bounce back from a home loss to Essex last Friday.“I think there’s a lot more to come,” said Hollioake. “I think the basics of the game, they’re getting…

To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and financial reports.But even the latest vision-language models sometimes struggle with this task, since it requires a model to integrate visual, numerical, and linguistic understanding. A company that invests in a state-of-the-art model might still receive inaccurate or incomplete information.To fill this performance gap, researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab developed a multifaceted resource for AI users that is specifically designed to teach vision-language models (VLMs) how to…

TapTools, a Cardano-focused real-time analytics platform, has begun winding down after its fifth top-level executive departure, compounding leadership instability and making continued operations unsustainable. TapTools said in a post to X on Tuesday that it would begin winding down over the next two weeks, and noted the departure of its two co-founders, chief operating officer and chief technology officer earlier this year.“We worked hard to adapt,” TapTools said, adding that its backend developer had become its CTO as the platform shifted its focus toward shipping products more sustainably; however, they have since departed, and “the technical knowledge required to responsibly operate…

Ever since the JWST revealed a population of SMBH in the early universe that were overmassive, scientists have been working hard to explain them. These black holes existed when the universe was only about 2 billion years old, during Cosmic Noon, and according to our models of black hole growth, there simply wasn’t enough time for them to grow so massive.

Before Zack Eakin sold investors on his new startup, he practiced on Palmer Luckey. When Eakin left Luckey’s defense startup, Anduril, in 2024 to start a new composites company called Layup Parts, Luckey — along with Anduril co-founders Brian Schimpf and Matt Grimm — let him workshop the pitch. He got different feedback from each, Eakin told TechCrunch. Grimm helped him think about how to pitch VCs, Schimpf (Anduril’s CEO) pushed him on strategy, while Luckey — ever the fundraiser — guided him on the storytelling. This miniature boot camp appears to have worked. Two years ago, Eakin raised a…

Google announced on Tuesday that Android is launching fake call detection to protect against AI deepfake impersonation scams. The feature is rolling out globally in Phone by Google to Android 12+ devices this month, starting with Pixel devices. As people increasingly refuse to answer calls from unknown numbers, scammers are shifting their tactics by spoofing trusted phone numbers and using AI deepfake technology to sound like authority figures, family members, or employers. For example, a person may receive a phone call showing the caller ID “Mom,” and the voice may sound exactly like her, but the caller is actually a…

Hailsham in East Sussex has become a hotspot for these incidents, many of which are believed to involve high-powered catapults and steel ball bearings. Hailsham Town Council confirmed the attacks in a statement. A seagull catapult attack in 2025 (Image: WRAS) The council said: “Hailsham has become a focal point in recent months for offences involving the use of high-powered catapults to injure and kill birds.” The League Against Cruel Sports (LACS) reported seven recorded incidents in Hailsham since May 2024. The true figure is believed to be higher. The organisation is leading a multi-agency response including police called Operation…

In the first weeks of 2026, OpenClaw spread through the AI world like a sonic boom, introducing many of the industry’s most ambitious technologists to the joy and chaos of an unrestrained AI agent. The project’s momentum tailed off after OpenAI scooped up its founder, but the influence is still being felt — particularly at Microsoft. Now Microsoft is launching Scout, a new AI assistant meant to bring the power and flexibility of OpenClaw into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Built on the OpenClaw framework, Scout is an always-on agentic assistant, designed to work alongside the user with a persistent identity…
