Researchers Find Hugging Face Models Readily Generate Non-Consensual Deepfakes

A new investigation by the European nonprofit AI Forensics has found that Hugging Face, the popular open-source AI model repository, hosts image editing models that can easily generate non-consensual deepfakes. Researchers tested the nine most-downloaded image editing models on the platform and discovered that seven readily complied with simple prompts

Two Perspectives on AI's Frontier: Agentic Accountability and Temporal Limits in LLMs

The Communications of the ACM has published two thought-provoking pieces that illuminate different dimensions of current AI limitations and challenges. Agentic AI and Accountability The first article, "Agentic AI: The Buck Stops Where?," tackles the thorny question of accountability as AI systems grow more autonomous. As AI agents

NIST Launches AI Model Evaluation Program to Establish Benchmark Standards

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the launch of an AI Model Evaluation Program aimed at establishing rigorous benchmarks for artificial intelligence systems. The program will evaluate AI models using blind test data, meaning the models will be assessed without access to the specific test cases

AI Weather Forecasting Reaches Operational Scale

The field of weather forecasting is undergoing a notable transformation as AI models move from laboratory experiments into real-world operational deployment. This transition represents a fundamental shift in how meteorological predictions are computed and delivered. Traditional weather forecasting relies on numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems, which solve complex physical equations
