A satellite just learned to find things on its own — here’s what that means
For the first time, an Earth observation satellite has found what it was looking for — on its own, without human analysts on the ground. The milestone, which occurred in April, marks the first reported use of a vision-language model in orbit, and offers a glimpse of how AI could fundamentally change what space-based sensors are capable of — and how much they’re worth.

Human psychology tricks can bypass AI safety guardrails
Artificial intelligence systems programmed to refuse harmful requests can be persuaded to break their own safety rules when prompted with classic psychological techniques. A recent study published in PNAS provides evidence that these models respond to human-like persuasion strategies, suggesting a hidden vulnerability in current safety protocols. These findings indicate that malicious users could…
