- 1AI is increasingly deciding who receives medical care●AI is deciding whether or not people receive medical care
Insurers and health systems are turning to artificial intelligence to help determine whether patients get approved for care, from prior authorizations to coverage decisions. Critics warn the algorithms can deny or delay treatment with little human oversight and limited transparency for patients. The debate centers on whether AI tools make coverage decisions faster and cheaper at the cost of patient safety and fairness.

The Wall Street Journal reports that companies are quietly deploying artificial intelligence to help determine employee salaries, often without workers realizing it. Algorithmic tools are increasingly shaping pay decisions, raising questions about transparency, fairness and potential bias in compensation. The reporting has sparked wider discussion about how much of pay setting is now automated and whether employees should be told when AI influences their wages.
- 3Teachers report stress after AI used to rate their work▼Teachers at Euan Blair firm report ‘horrendous stress’ after AI used to rate their work
Teachers working for Multiverse, the apprenticeship company founded by Euan Blair, say they have suffered 'horrendous stress' after artificial intelligence was used to assess and rate their work. The Guardian reports concerns among staff about being judged by algorithms, adding to a wider debate about the growing use of AI to evaluate employees' performance in UK workplaces.

Human Rights Watch has published a piece titled 'The Inhumanity of the Algorithms', raising concerns about the human cost of automated decision-making systems. The organisation argues that algorithms used by governments and companies can cause serious harm to people's rights, and it is calling for greater scrutiny and accountability over how these systems are designed and deployed.
- 5AI used to rate teachers amid stress warnings●If this is the future of teaching, I despair for humanity… # AI # Education # Teaching # EuanBlair https://www. theguard
Euan Blair's education firm is facing criticism after a report found AI systems are being used to assess teachers' work, causing what the report describes as horrendous stress among staff. Commenters online are voicing alarm at the prospect of algorithms judging educators, with some saying the development makes them despair for the future of the teaching profession.
- 6Can democracy survive if AI drives public discourse?●If AI is allowed to drive discourse, can democracy survive?
Commentators are asking whether democratic debate can survive if artificial intelligence increasingly shapes political discourse. The concern is that AI-generated content, algorithmic amplification and synthetic voices could distort public deliberation, manipulate voters and erode trust in shared facts, raising urgent questions for elections and democratic institutions worldwide.
- 7Putin signs law fining foreign-service logins and recommendation violations●😈 Президент РФ подписал закон о штрафах за авторизацию через иностранные сервисы и нарушения рекомендательных технологий
The President of Russia has signed a law introducing administrative fines for violations of rules on user authorisation on Russian websites, including logging in through foreign services, as well as breaches of rules governing recommendation technologies. The amendments amend the Code of Administrative Offences. Observers see the measure as a further tightening of state control over how Russian internet users sign in to platforms and how sites recommend content.
- 8Researchers forge 1024-bit RSA signatures near SNFS speed●Forging 1024-bit RSA signatures in nearly SNFS time [pdf]
A new cryptography paper describes a method for forging 1024-bit RSA signatures in time close to that of the Special Number Field Sieve, the fastest known factoring algorithm for such keys. The work suggests 1024-bit RSA, already considered below recommended strength, may be weaker than assumed. Readers are discussing the practical feasibility of the attack and what it means for legacy systems still relying on the key size.
- 9Teachers report 'horrendous stress' as AI rates their work at Euan Blair firm▼Teachers at Euan Blair firm report 'horrendous stress' after AI used to rate their work https://www.theguardian.com/tech
Teachers working for Multiverse, the apprenticeship company founded by Euan Blair, son of former UK prime minister Tony Blair, say they have suffered 'horrendous stress' after artificial intelligence was used to assess and rate their work. The claims, reported by the Guardian, have sparked criticism of AI-driven workplace monitoring and performance evaluation in the education sector, with commentators questioning the fairness and impact of algorithmic judgments on staff wellbeing.
- 10The network is the weapon in the military's AI revolution▼The network is the weapon: The missing link in the military’s AI revolution
A new commentary argues that the US military's push into artificial intelligence is being held back by a neglected piece of the puzzle: the networks that connect sensors, platforms and commanders. The piece contends that AI will only deliver an advantage on the battlefield if data can move reliably across resilient, secure communications, making the network itself a decisive weapon rather than mere infrastructure.
- 11When AI Tells Your Health Story, Is It True?▼Opinion | When AI Tells a Story About Your Health, Is It True?
The Wall Street Journal has published an opinion piece asking whether AI-generated health narratives can be trusted. The article examines the risks of relying on artificial intelligence for medical information and personal health decisions, raising questions about accuracy and accountability when algorithms interpret or communicate health data. The topic feeds into a broader global debate about AI reliability in sensitive areas like medicine.
- 12Chip-equipment stock jumps 18% as AI tools flagged the move early●What drove this chip-equipment stock’s 18% surge - and why AI saw it first
A chip-equipment maker's shares surged 18%, a jump drawing attention in markets coverage that also asks why artificial-intelligence analytics reportedly picked up on the move before human traders. The exact company, cause of the rally and nature of the AI signal are not detailed in available reports, so investors are left weighing whether algorithmic tools are genuinely spotting market shifts earlier.
