Research warns AI agents can be a self-churning propaganda machine

The study asks us to imagine a scenario where two weeks before a major election, thousands of posts flood X, Reddit, and Facebook, all pushing the same narrative and amplifying each other. It might seem like an organic movement created by humans. Instead, it’s a bunch of AI agents running the entire campaign. 

Google and Samsung built a tool to boost the gaming experience on your phone

The result is Sokatoa, a GPU profiler announced March 10 by Samsung's Austin Research and Development Center and Advanced Computing Lab. But Samsung didn't build it alone. The tool was developed in collaboration with Google and LunarG, a company deeply involved in Vulkan graphics development.

AI photo editing without the privacy trade off is almost here

Only the masked version gets uploaded, which means the tool sees the background and your clothes but never your actual face. After the edit comes back, the technology seamlessly blends the original masked region back in. The result is a fully edited photo that looks completely natural, with none of your biometric data exposed. It also works with any commercial generative AI model, so no retraining or special apps are required.
