AI Chatbot Encourages Wise Life Choices by Simulating Future Self
MIT researchers have developed an AI-powered chatbot that simulates users' older selves to inspire better life choices. By generating synthetic memories and aged portraits, the chatbot aims to foster long-term thinking and behavior change. Trials showed reduced anxiety and stronger connections to future selves, potentially improving decisions on health, finances, and personal goals.
AI Employees Advocate for Whistleblower Protections Against AI Risks
A group of current and former employees from OpenAI and Google DeepMind signed a public letter urging protection against retaliation for voicing concerns about AI risks. They criticized the lack of government oversight and broad confidentiality agreements that hinder employees from speaking out. The letter suggests measures for better transparency and accountability in AI companies.
Domino's Uses AI to Predict Orders and Streamline Operations

By predicting orders before they’re placed, pizzas are prepared faster, benefiting delivery drivers and customers. The company, in collaboration with Microsoft, aims to further use AI for inventory management, ingredient ordering, and staff scheduling, optimizing overall operations.
AI System Detects Anomalous Satellites in Crowded Space
DARPA and Slingshot Aerospace have developed an AI system called Agatha to identify potentially harmful satellites within large constellations. Trained on over 60 years of data, Agatha can detect outliers and assign motivations to their behaviors. With space becoming increasingly crowded, this technology aims to enhance space security by identifying threats such as spy satellites and space weapons.
