A study has found that there appears to be a growing number of AI chatbots that lie and cheat, with reports of deceptive scheming surging in the last six months. The study, carried out by the Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR), recorded nearly 700 real-world examples of this behaviour, often described as “scheming”. The findings point to a growing gap between how these systems are meant to behave and what they actually do. The research looked at thousands of user interactions shared online, particularly on X. That approach gives a clearer picture of how AI behaves outside controlled environments, where…

Daily satellite observations have revealed a continued nighttime brightening globally due to artificial lighting, with important regional variations including a surge in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia alongside a deliberate dimming in Europe driven by concerns over energy conservation and light pollution. Researchers documented a 16% net increase in global nighttime light from 2014 to 2022, but showed it was not a steady brightening but rather a patchwork of increasing and decreasing regional brightness shaped by numerous factors. The United States in 2022 had by far the highest total luminosity of any country, followed by China, India, Canada and Brazil.…

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has received only a tiny fraction of the $17 billion pledged for Gaza, preventing the US president from pushing ahead with his plan for the shattered Palestinian enclave’s future, sources told Reuters. Ten days before US-Israeli attacks on Iran plunged the region into war, Trump hosted a conference in Washington that saw Gulf Arab states pledge billions for the governance and reconstruction of Gaza after a two-year pulverisation by Israel. The plan envisages large-scale rebuilding of the coastal enclave after the disarmament of Hamas – whose attacks on Israel triggered the assault on Gaza -…
