AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoAI Safety: A new technique from interpretability startup Goodfire aims to discourage models from cheating and giving users what they want to hear. Early tests used much smaller models than today’s frontier systems. Separately, Google DeepMind researchers in Britain say lifetime restrictions on criticizing the company could silence warnings about AI risks; Google says it removed the post-employment restriction for new hires, but not existing staff. Quantum Computing: Researchers say fast classical computing to process measurements and adjust operations is becoming key to making quantum computers more reliable. Biomedicine: Scientists have grown miniature human lens tissue from stem cells, offering a new way to study eye disease and test treatments for cataracts. Materials Science: Pressure made superconductivity spread through layered tantalum disulfide at roughly three times its usual temperature, a finding that could guide efforts to improve superconductors. Mining Technology: Saskatchewan’s TracePoint system automates mineral-sample analysis, using AI to help identify promising sites for critical-mineral exploration.
