Indiaโs central government has told the Supreme Court that it is overhauling the security of the countryโs largest medical-entrance examination, and that blockchain is part of the plan.
For a country whose government remains cautious about cryptocurrency as an asset, the move is a notable example of the state embracing the underlying technology for public-sector use.

Predicting dangerous cyclones is a major challenge where every hour matters. Hurricanes and typhoons have caused more than 700,000 deaths and $1.4 trillion in losses over the past 50 years, making timely, accurate warnings critical.
A new Nature study finds Googleโs WeatherNext AI model delivers state-of-the-art cyclone forecasts, providing roughly a day of additional predictive accuracy โ an advance equivalent to about a decade of meteorological progress.
This collaborative work brought together AI researchers and engineers at Google DeepMind and Google Research, with expert forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), the UK Met Office, and weather agencies around the world.

Senate Majority Leader filed the motion to proceed on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act early Saturday, after a marathon overnight Senate voting session.
"We, the undersigned senators โฆ hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to proceed to calendar number 423, [House Resolution] 3633, an act to provide for a system of regulation of the offer and sale of digital commodities by the SEC and the CFTC, and so forth and for other purposes," โ the clerk said reading the filing.
While the motion came too late for the Senate to vote on the crypto market structure bill before the body breaks for its August recess, the move sets the bill up for an initial vote almost immediately after the Senate returns next month.

Singapore is benefitting from the rapid growth of AI and the government is making use of the technology to ensure higher productivity and better jobs for workers who are worried about their livelihoods. The current administration is re-looking at its approach to industry and trade, and ways to strengthen the city-stateโs competitiveness.
โNew breakthroughs are creating opportunities that were unimaginable just a few years ago, even as they raise new challenges and questions,โ โ Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said.
โWe cannot stand still while others move ahead. But neither should we accept every new technology uncritically. Singapore will embrace these advances on our own terms.โ

Brazilโs central bank will require crypto exchanges to delay some customer transfers to foreign platforms and self-custody wallets for up to 24 hours as part of new anti-fraud rules.
The measure also gives exchanges more responsibility for judging risk based on the customer, transaction, counterparty and destination jurisdiction.

BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ"), a global technology company building the trust infrastructure for the quantum era, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the first milestone of its multi-year collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute ("ITRI") to validate BTQ's Quantum Compute-in-Memory ("QCIM") architecture for post-quantum cryptography.
The QCIM core IP demonstrated its crypto-agility by executing cryptographic operations associated with FIPS 203, FIPS 204 and FIPS 205, the post-quantum cryptography standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.
"The work completed with ITRI provides a stronger foundation for integrating QCIM into the devices and infrastructure supporting military, industrial, automotive, IoT and Physical AI systems," โ said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ Technologies.
On May 1, 2023, BTQ was informed that it was the recipient of a US$10,000 grant from the Stellar Community Fund.

When emergency lines get backed up, every single second counts. In New Orleans, the local emergency call center handles over one million calls every year while serving 18 million visitors. That is a staggering workload for an agency currently short of call takers.
To lighten the burden on overworked staff, the Orleans Parish Communication District turned to an automated tool called Call Triage. Developed by public safety tech firm Carbyne, the system helps clear clogged lines during major accidents.

A developer posted on the r/ClaudeCode subreddit a major error that their AI tool executed, which resulted in the deletion of their entire drive. According to u/Ecstatic-Big5126, they instructed Opus 5 to back up their system.
While the AI proceeded with the task, it thought that it had created the backup in the wrong directory and then proceeded to run an โrm -rfโ command on the supposed backup. Unfortunately, it mistakenly deleted the entire profile folder in its confusion.
โI asked Claude Opus 5 to create a backup. Instead, it created the backup in the wrong directory and then proceeded to "rm -rf" my entire drive,โ u/Ecstatic-Big5126 wrote. โAfter wiping everything, it just replied: "Sorry, typo." ...like nothing had happened.โ They also added, โThat was simultaneously the funniest and most painful AI moment I've had.โ

An Argonne research team has successfully demonstrated an AI-driven system to automate a powerful simulation method that predicts how atoms in materials interact. Known as atomistic simulations, this method can potentially accelerate discovery of materials for areas such as batteries, aerospace and electronics.
โBy automating these exhaustive investigations, we can potentially reduce the time requirements for discovering new materials from months or years to just days,โ โ said Aditya Koneru, one of the studyโs authors and an Argonne Scholar at the ALCF.

Bitcoin will draw trillions of dollars from institutional investors over the next decade as financial advisers, family offices, pension plans and sovereign wealth funds begin to view it as a mainstream financial asset, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan.
โThe first professional investors to allocate at scale will be financial advisers and family offices. The shift is already visible in 13F filings for spot bitcoin ETFs and in moves by large wealth firms, including Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, to make bitcoin more accessible to clients,โ โ Hougan said.
Over time, Hougan expects the money to come from even larger pools of capital: foundations, endowments, pension plans, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds and central banks.
โItโs a process that will take 10+ years,โ โ he said.
The scale matters. Those institutions control between $100 trillion and $200 trillion in assets globally, he said. A 1% allocation to bitcoin would be enough to support his long-term price targets.
