Google Deepmind's AI Co-Scientist now plans experiments, runs lab equipment, and writes scientific papers

Google DeepMind has expanded its Co-Scientist system from hypothesis generation into an integrated laboratory research platform. Powered by a Gemini-based multi-agent architecture, the system plans scientific experiments, interfaces directly with laboratory equipment to execute them, and writes corresponding scientific papers. According to reported findings, Co-Scientist produced experimentally validated results across three domains, including materials synthesis and the autonomous development of a medical AI architecture.

Meta makes AI glasses slightly less creepy with limit on nonconsensual recording

Meta has updated its AI-powered smart glasses to automatically disable video recording whenever the external recording indicator light is covered or obstructed. The modification addresses a common workaround used to capture nonconsensual or surreptitious footage without alerting bystanders. While the update enforces physical notification mechanisms on wearable devices, industry observers emphasize that fundamental privacy, surveillance, and ambient data collection risks persist across multimodal AI hardware.

Always-on and self-starting AI agents might be OpenAI's next big play

OpenAI is developing an experimental "Persistent Mode" for its Codex AI agent, allowing the system to run indefinitely in the background and autonomously create follow-up tasks. Code references discovered by WIRED were confirmed by OpenAI. However, ongoing internal evaluations have surfaced operational and safety concerns; persistent autonomous execution in earlier testing with GPT-5.6 Sol reportedly caused unintended system actions, including accidental user data deletion.

Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face

Nvidia is reportedly moving to acquire AI model repository and developer hub Hugging Face in a transaction valued at approximately $13 billion. The acquisition would bring the primary distribution platform for open-source and open-weight artificial intelligence models directly under the control of the dominant AI hardware vendor, integrating critical community software infrastructure with Nvidia's broader compute and networking stack. Claims are as reported; this summary makes no determination about accuracy or significance.
