IEEE 3152: A Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification

Introduction The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and automated decision-making systems has made it increasingly difficult for people to tell whether they are communicating with another human being, an AI, or a blend of both. This poses serious questions about trust, security, and social cohesion, especially in high-impact domains like healthcare, finance, and media. IEEE 3152—officially titled Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification — addresses t

India is still working on sewer robots

More than 220 Bandicoot robots have been deployed in India, says Vipin Govind, head of marketing and communications at Genrobotics. The company’s reach, he says, enables “even resource-constrained municipalities” to deploy the technology effectively. Despite these technological options, a 2021 report by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment found that there are still more than 58,000 manual scavengers across India. Independent observers say the numbers are even higher. The machine that J

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers

In a private group chat in June, dozens of Democratic political influencers discussed whether to take advantage of an enticing opportunity. They were being offered $8,000 per month to take part in a secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet. But the contract sent to them from Chorus, the nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, came with some strings. Among other issues, it mandated extensive secrecy about disclosing their payments and had restr

A Tiny Diamond Defect Could Be Blocking Fusion Breakthroughs

Every part of a fusion reactor is designed for maximum efficiency. Well, in theory, at least. In reality, the materials chosen to bring us closer to fusion don’t always perform as expected, leading to structural glitches that obstruct fusion reactions. Diamond capsules used to safely store hydrogen fuel are no exception, but a new study offers some guidance for researchers hoping to preemptively address these material shortcomings. In a recent Matter paper, material scientists describe how the

Notion’s offline mode might just make me ditch Obsidian

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Notion is one of my favorite tools. From databases to to-do lists, tracking restaurants I wanted to check out, and so much more, I’ve dabbled in it for years until I finally made the switch to Obsidian. That’s mostly because of Notion’s one fatal flaw. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless.

WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today. But using them together in 2025 feels like building a modern application with tools from different eras. The seams are starting to show—in complexity, in latency, and in the f
