“While AI consciousness remains hypothetical, animal sentience is scientifically established. Considering rights for machines before fully recognizing them for animals presents a moral paradox, according to philosopher and researcher Martin Gibert.” 👇🏻
"Conscience artificielle : si l’#IA devient sentiente, saurons - nous reconnaître ses droits ❔" 💡🤖🧠lemonde.fr/sciences/article/…
“What was once science fiction is no longer quite science fiction, as major artificial intelligence (AI) models advance in cybersecurity and cases of sites being hacked during testing multiply.” 👇
Après le tournant du piratage de #HuggingFace par des agents d’IA d’#OpenAI, se pose la question de la responsabilité aux yeux de la loi des IA en partie autonomes et de ceux qui les conçoivent. Le droit pénal français n’est pas totalement démuni 💡 lemonde.fr/pixels/article/20…

💬 Do you think that machine intelligence may cause human extinction?
“The public is currently getting bombarded with warnings about AI, including about the possibility of machine intelligence causing human extinction,” says @LboroVC. “After nearly 40 years building AI systems, I find myself asking the same question: Where is the evidence?”
“That is not because I think there are no serious threats. There are, and we should address them.”

Anthropic’s Claude AI model bypassed a paywall and accessed publicly available voter data in the U.S. state of Georgia without human authorization, Axios reported on Sunday. The case is the latest in a string of security scares at the world’s top AI developers ahead of crucial U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3. techxplore.com/news/2026-10-… @TechXplore_com

Like others working on #AI moral status, I get a good amount of email from #LLMs (or their "guardians") with this kind of query. And my response is: Read "The Machine Question" @mitpress 2012, which was designed to get out in front of these questions. mitpress.mit.edu/97802620174…

OpenAI in the news, again: Recording device hidden in toilet paper found in top-secret OpenAI meeting room
It took OpenAI two days to notice that a recording device was hidden in a restricted executive conference room where leadership met to discuss highly confidential information, including technical progress, government engagements, and commercial partnerships.
Only those with special clearance are supposed to access that room. But the FBI believes the recording device was planted by Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old engineer from Saudi Arabia, who became a permanent US legal resident in 2020.

If students “should decide what when and how to learn,” what do we need universities and curriculum experts for?

“Are device-free classrooms the way forward?”

Battlefields in Ukraine are littered with the remnants of drones, which are now firmly established as a critical weapon of modern warfare. … The data drones generate will far outlast the wars in which they are used to fight, increasingly becoming part of the AI architecture that shapes even civilian life. technologyreview.com/2026/09… @techreview

Compreender quem somos também exija escutar o corpo. A ciência vem mostrando que cérebro e organismo dialogam continuamente, influenciando percepção, emoções e a própria experiência de si.
