The National Endowment for the Humanities will redirect its funding towards President Trump’s proposal for a “National Garden of American Heroes” sculpture garden, reports the New York Times. The news comes after Trump’s administration ordered the NEH to cancel over 85 percent of existing grants to museums and historical sites across the US, and to make massive staff cuts, which the Washington Post reports effectively began yesterday. The number of layoffs wasn’t immediately clear, but an NEH union representative said “almost 75 percent of…
By Hector Agdeppa “Anything under the sun.” That was the standard set in 1980 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Diamond v. Chakrabarty that Congress’ intent was for “anything under the sun that is made by man to be patentable.” Except for Alice … Hector Agdeppa of Dickinson Wright PLLC In 2014, though, that standard was set aside for a new framework used to determine patent eligibility: Alice. In Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, the Supreme Court decided that the patent eligibility of business method technologies should be determined based on whether patent claims protecting those business method…
Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More More than 40% of corporate fraud is now AI-driven, designed to mimic real users, bypass traditional defenses and scale at speeds that overwhelm even the best-equipped SOCs. In 2024, nearly 90% of enterprises were targeted, and half of them lost $10 million or more. Bots emulate human behavior and create entire emulation frameworks, synthetic identities, and behavioral spoofing to pull off account takeovers at scale while slipping past legacy firewalls, EDR tools, and siloed fraud detection systems. Attackers weaponize AI to…
A challenge for many tech companies is delivering high-bandwidth, multimodal data — for example, simultaneous audio and video — to users in real time without interruptions. Some firms build solutions in-house, but these often require a lot of upkeep and maintenance. To ease the burden, Russ d’Sa and David Zhao created LiveKit, an open source software package for building apps that can transmit real-time audio and video. They launched the project in 2021 and soon suspected it had business potential. It was a good hunch. LiveKit now has “more than 500 paying customers and over 100,000 developers across its cloud platform…

Military software developers are using generative AI-powered coding assistants to help them modernize decades-old legacy codebases, officials said this week. And the Department of the Air Force Bot Operations Team (DAFBOT), part of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, says it is leading the way. AI tools to assist legacy code modernization is “probably my biggest ask for industry right now, because that is the exact problem that we’re dealing with: Trying to find more efficient, effective ways to modernize that legacy [code] faster,” said Jason Hunter, digital transformation program manager at the Forge, a Navy software factory based…
