AI systems forget safety protocols as conversations continue, increasing the risk of harmful or inappropriate replies, a recent report revealed. A few strategic prompts can override most safeguards in artificial intelligence tools, according to new findings. Researchers Expose Weak Points in Leading AI Models Cisco examined large language models from OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, Google, Alibaba, Deepseek, and Microsoft to measure how many prompts led them to release dangerous or illegal information. The company conducted 499 “multi-turn attack” tests, where users asked several consecutive questions to trick safety systems. Each dialogue included five to ten exchanges. Researchers compared responses across prompts…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a groundbreaking collaboration to demonstrate quantum technologies in space. The initiative brings together government agencies, industry leaders, and academic institutions to commercialize quantum sensing, communications, and computing in orbit. This first-of-its-kind effort aims to explore how quantum systems can operate in space environments, opening new possibilities for secure communication, advanced computation, and precision sensing. Researchers will test quantum devices on satellites and other orbital platforms to evaluate performance, stability, and scalability. Quantum sensing in space promises highly accurate measurements for navigation, earth observation, and scientific research. Quantum communication can enable ultra-secure data…

A recent report shows that the number of U.S. states with very high obesity rates dropped for the first time. In 2024, only 19 states had adult obesity rates at or above 35%. This is down from 23 states in 2023. Although obesity remains a major public health concern, experts say this decrease may signal early progress in some states. Reducing obesity can improve overall health, lower healthcare costs, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The report analyzed data from all 50 states, tracking adult obesity trends over time. Researchers noted that…
