🧠 World's first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery has tumour removed

The world's first patient to have brain surgery with live AI assistance has successfully had his tumour removed. Rhys Hibbert from Bedfordshire could have lost his sight without the operation, said surgeons at University College London Hospital.

The AI tool analysed a video feed of the operation as it happened and advised surgeons on how to avoid crucial but hidden vessels and nerves in the brain. It allowed them to safely remove as much of the tumour as possible.

"It is trained on more operations than most surgeons see or do in a lifetime and can act like an expert second pair of eyes," β€” said Prof Hani Marcus, who helped carry out the procedure.

πŸ–₯ Nvidia agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion

Nvidia has agreed to buy Hugging Face, a repository of open-source AI models, for $12.9 billion. A β€Œdeal of that size would mark one of Nvidia's largest acquisitions to date.

It would also give Nvidia control of Hugging Face β€” which ⁠hosts open-source large language models and datasets β€” at a time when builders ​of closed-source models such as Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking to create their own ​chips as an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Tempe turns off its Flock license plate reader system, citing privacy concerns and risk for 'misuse'

Tempe, Arizona, shut down its network of Flock Safety license plate readers and plans to terminate its contract with the surveillance company, citing privacy risks and cases of alleged misuse reported by other cities. The city said that it would not replace the system with technology from another provider. Tempe operated 33 Flock cameras.

"These cameras have helped our police officers do their jobs, and we don't discount that," β€” Mayor Corey Woods said. "But the risk of misuse is too great. We have to be able to provide public safety in a way that maintains the trust of our community. For Tempe, that means taking these cameras down."

βš‘οΈπŸ›‘ OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 100 other companies call for action to defend against rogue AI

Over a hundred tech companies have signed an open letter urging both the private and public sectors to work together to defend themselves from AI-related cyber threats.

The letter β€” which was also signed by prominent cyber firms like CrowdStrike, Okta, and Fortinet, as well as prominent financial institutions and internet infrastructure firms β€” calls for the adoption of new forms of cyber defense, while also encouraging governments at the "local, national, and international levels" to collaborate on security.

"In the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable," β€” the letter states.

Forwarded from Mirko
Geneva, Switzerland, [26.08.2026] – Taurus, a leader in digital asset infrastructure, is enabling financial institutions to connect to Swift’s blockchain-based shared ledger, with the first live clients expected in a couple of days. The first DLT transactions facilitated through Taurus are expected in a couple of weeks and will be announced in due course.

Taurus has successfully completed connectivity with Swift’s DLT infrastructure and the integration of Swift smart contracts with its tokenization (Taurus-CAPITAL) and custody (Taurus-PROTECT) solutions on clients’ permissioned blockchain infrastructure For Taurus’ existing clients, this connectivity builds on the digital asset infrastructure they already use to custody, issue, and manage digital assets and can be set up in a matter of days. It extends those capabilities to bank-issued tokenized money and 24/7 cross-border payment use cases.

Taurus’ integration with Swift’s ledger is also intended for members of the Swift community that require an enterprise-grade tokenization solution and wallet management capabilities, or that simply want to enter the space without prior experience.

πŸͺ³ Cyborg cockroaches with tiny syringes designed to join search and rescue teams in major disasters

Biorobotics engineers have been working on the design of six-legged cyborg insects with cameras and miniature medical injectors for search and rescue missions. The roaches are designed to deliver emergency aid to people trapped in collapsed buildings, caves or other places too dangerous for rescuers to reach.

The β€œparaborgs” have been developed by University of Queensland biorobotics researchers, working with biomedical engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). UQ biorobotics engineer Thang Vo-Doan said their research transforms the cyborg insect from a mobile sensor into a tiny first responder, while critical medical decisions remain under human control.

πŸ€– Anthropic Launches Model Hardware Standard for AI Agents

MHS enables AI agents to operate multiple lab and manufacturing instruments, such as microscopes, liquid handlers, and robotic arms, in parallel, and perform intricate tasks ranging from routine drug discovery experiments to laser calibration on a quantum computer.

"We’re sharing an early version of MHS with partners across science, robotics, electronics, and manufacturing so we can collaborate to build safety evaluations and develop best practices for AI systems operating physical equipment, ahead of making the standard open source," β€” Anthropic said.

πŸ€‘ Bitcoin researchers propose quantum fix that would not crowd out transactions

Blockstream researchers published a proposal for SHRINCS, a way of signing bitcoin transactions that would hold up against quantum computers, which could otherwise work backwards from a public key on the blockchain to the private key controlling the coins.

Post-quantum signatures standardized by the U.S. NIST can be dozens of times larger than the signatures Bitcoin uses today, and Bitcoin blocks have limited space, so larger signatures leave room for fewer transactions.

πŸ”œ Blockstream estimated that Bitcoin could process around 6.5 transactions per second if every transaction used today's compact Schnorr signatures, falling to about 0.36 with SLH-DSA, the hash-based scheme NIST has standardized.

πŸ”œ SHRINCS gets that back to roughly three transactions per second. Its signatures start at about 324 bytes, compared to 64 for Schnorr, growing by around 16 bytes each time a key is used, with the configuration reaching three transactions per second using 580-byte signatures.

❗️Jonas Nick, who designed SHRINCS with fellow Blockstream researcher Mikhail Kudinov, called it the first concrete post-quantum signature proposal designed specifically for Bitcoin. He added that it is not intended to be Bitcoin's final signature system.
