The International Space Station (ISS) has been orbiting Earth since 1998, housing groups of astronauts in the microgravity environment around 250 miles above the surface of the planet. All of that time in space has taken a toll on its aging hardware, and the space station is due to retire within the next few years. Until then, however, safety experts are warning of long-running issues that threaten the safety of the ISS, and the crew on board. During a meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory P

On Thursday, weeks after launching its most powerful AI model yet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google published a technical report showing the results of its internal safety evaluations. However, the report is light on the details, experts say, making it difficult to determine which risks the model might pose.

We articulate a vision of artificial intelligence (AI) as normal technology. To view AI as normal is not to understate its impact—even transformative, general-purpose technologies such as electricity and the internet are “normal” in our conception.

Over the past decade, airlines have spent millions of dollars on safety videos featuring tropical islands and celebrities. Why? My 55-minute flight from Geneva to Zurich didn't land on its first attempt. The A220-100, caught in strong winds, trembled side to side as we descended. And instead of lowering its wheels as we approached the runway, the airplane accelerated high into the sky at the last second. My heart pumped. Thirty minutes later, the pilot tried again.
