The real danger isn’t that machines will act without oversight; it’s that human overseers have no idea what the machines are actually “thinking.” Thankfully, science may offer a way forward.

Microsoft today pushed software updates to fix a staggering 167 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and related software, including a SharePoint Server zero-day and a publicly disclosed weakness in Windows Defender dubbed “BlueHammer.” Separately, Google Chrome fixed its fourth zero-day of 2026, and an emergency update for Adobe Reader nixes an actively exploited flaw that can lead to remote code execution. Redmond warns that attackers are already targeting CVE-2026-32201, a vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server that allows attackers to spoof trusted content or interfaces over a network. Mike Walters, president and co-founder of Action1, said CVE-2026-32201 can be…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Sometimes story pitches are sent to my personal email address, and some are not at all appropriate. Recently, someone sent some nonsensical information about how the transition to electric vehicles from gas and diesel vehicles will take 100 years or more because installing public EV chargers takes too long. Such a view is both false and overly pessimistic.  For example, it was just announced that 2,926 new public EV chargers will be installed in Belgium in the next two years. Two years, not 20, not 200 — 2 years. That…

What we like about it: The Dream Duo 2 includes the Owlet Smart HD monitor and the Owlet Dream Sock. The Owlet is the only FDA-cleared infant health monitor on this list. The Dream Sock is the first and only over-the-counter medical pulse oximetry solution for infants. The package came with four different-sized socks that are meant to fit healthy infants weighing 6 pounds to 30 pounds. The socks contain a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, similar to what hospitals use to measure your heart rate. The sock has velcro straps so you can easily adjust it around your child’s foot. One thing…

The President’s 2026 Budget requests $1.45 billion for the NNI, with key investments in foundational research that will fuel new discoveries and in application-driven R&D to advance technologies of the future and address national priorities. Cumulative NNI funding since its inception in 2001 totals nearly $47 billion (including the 2026 request). The President’s 2026 Budget supports nanoscale science, engineering, and technology R&D at 10 agencies. See the graph at right for funding trends since the inception of the NNI. The NNI Supplement to the President’s 2026 Budget documents progress of the NNI participating agencies in addressing the goals and objectives…

This article is for leaders who want honest plans from teams without pressuring them into false certainty. Most teams do not need a leader to pressure them into overcommitting. They’ll usually do it on their own. That may sound surprising. We often think of software developers as skeptical or cynical. But in my experience, developers are often deeply optimistic. They believe in making things better. They’ve seen how technology can improve lives and change businesses. That optimism is part of what makes them good at what they do. It also shows up in their estimates. Ask a team how much…

“The short-term fix is fairly straightforward. Microsoft could add stronger code integrity and process protections to AIXHost.exe, the process that renders the Recall timeline. Right now, it has none, which makes the injection path possible. That would block the specific technique I demonstrated and materially raise the bar,” he said. The longer-term problem runs deeper, he said. “Microsoft should rethink how decrypted data is handled after it leaves the enclave. The cryptography and enclave design are genuinely well done, and I want to be clear about that. The problem is that plaintext screenshots and extracted text end up in an…

Louisiana lawmakers are pressing ahead with a push to rein in illegal online sweepstakes-style gaming, after the state House overwhelmingly backed House Bill 883 and sent it over to the Senate this week. Rep. Laurie Schlegel’s proposal cleared the chamber on April 14 with virtually no opposition, winning final votes of 99-0 and 98-0. By April 15, the Senate had taken it up, giving it a first reading and placing it on the calendar for debate. The language in the bill itself spells out that, “Gambling by computer is the intentional conducting, or directly assisting in the conducting as a…

Press Release Nokia and Orange today announced a new collaboration focused on developing and evaluating artificial intelligence radio access network (AI-RAN) technologies powered by Nokia’s anyRAN 5G software and NVIDIA AI infrastructure. The initiative aims to explore how emerging AI-RAN capabilities can enhance network performance, energy efficiency and enable new services for Orange customers. Through a structured co‑innovation framework, Nokia and Orange will jointly identify, design and evaluate new AI‑RAN capabilities. The collaboration aims to explore how a GPU-based radio processor can boost radio performance with more advanced receivers, and how AI can be tightly integrated into the RAN to…
