Who Bears the Cost When AI Agents Cause Harm? The Legal Accountability Gap

The Accountability Vacuum AI agents—autonomous systems capable of executing multi-step tasks with minimal human oversight—are rapidly moving from research labs into real-world applications. But as these systems gain the ability to book travel, manage finances, interact with customers, and even control physical devices, a fundamental question remains unresolved:

Starlink Satellites Repurposed as Atmospheric Scanners for Improved Orbital Safety

Scientists have found an innovative way to study a challenging region of Earth's upper atmosphere by repurposing data from an unlikely source: the Starlink satellite constellation. The research team used precise orbital information from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites to reconstruct density changes in the thermosphere, approximately 500
