Meta Platforms, Inc. launched its Muse personal AI agent after CEO Mark Zuckerberg identified AI agents as a potential new source of products and revenue. Zuckerberg Sees AI Agents as Meta’s Next Growth Driver During Meta’s second-quarter earnings call in...
As Amazon blocks AI agents from shopping on its site, Walmart is taking the opposite approach, introducing new technology that lets AI agents make purchases on customers' behalf, with controls over spending and transaction approvals.
By Alexandre Kech, CEO at GLEIFAI agents can discover services, negotiate terms, analyze data, and initiate transactions for people and organizations. In financial services, this creates a governance challenge: how can other parties determine which organization stands behind an agent, who authorized it, and whether an action falls within that authority?As GLEIF’s most recent working paper on agentic payments observes, existing legal frameworks can generally allocate responsibility. The immediate
Six themes cover agent security, logging and who counts as controller, feeding a statutory code on AI and automated decisions. What will the ICO expect next?
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is a minor update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete…
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol discovered a critical PHP vulnerability as part of the Patch the Planet initiative that could affect millions of websites. Security firm Wiz independently found the same flaw using Google's Gemini 4 Argon. OpenAI warns that the same AI capabilities that…
Chain-of-thought (CoT) can sound plausible yet be unfaithful to the model's underlying reasoning. Most prior work probes CoT faithfulness through input--output behavior or input attributions, leaving internal computation largely underexplored. We instead cast faithfulness as…
Understanding the physical world requires more than object recognition, scene description, and short-term visual prediction, as real-world physical systems involve multiple continuous fields, latent causal mechanisms, partial observations, and intervention-sensitive dynamics.…
Small-object detection in UAV imagery is challenged by weak visual evidence, ambiguous boundaries, dense object distributions, and complex backgrounds. Effective detection therefore requires long-range contextual information for target-background discrimination while preserving…
Current agent runtimes that plan before acting generally execute a step once it becomes ready. We present LazyAgent, a unified execution framework for agent-authored programs organized around a live, goal-derived demanded set. LazyAgent refreshes a backward closure from…
