Google Introduces AI Co-Scientist System to Aid Scientific Research

Google has announced the development of an AI co-scientist system designed to assist scientists in generating hypotheses and research proposals. Built using Gemini 2.0, the system aims to accelerate scientific and biomedical discoveries by emulating the scientific method and fostering collaboration between humans and AI. The AI co-scientist is a multi-agent system designed to mirror the scientific method. It consists of a coalition of specialized agents, including Generation, Reflection, Ranking, Evolution, Proximity, and Meta-review, which work together to generate, evaluate, and refine hypotheses. This iterative process is informed by feedback loops, enabling the system to improve its outputs over time.

Microsoft apologizes for removing VSCode extensions used by millions

Microsoft has reinstated the ‘Material Theme – Free’ and ‘Material Theme Icons – Free’ extensions on the Visual Studio Marketplace after finding that the obfuscated code they contained wasn’t actually malicious.

WinRing0: Why Windows is flagging your PC monitoring and fan control apps as a threat

On Tuesday morning, some PC gamers woke up to discover their computers were seemingly under threat. A “HackTool” called WinRing0 had suddenly started triggering a Windows Defender alert, as if their PCs were under attack. Some of those computers even began behaving oddly ​​— like blasting their fans at high speed — once the HackTool had been quarantined. I know, because it happened to me. But my computer wasn’t actually under attack — at least, not yet. When I checked where Windows Defender had actually detected the threat, it was in the Fan Control app I use to intelligently cool

Epic Games is addressing one of Windows-on-Arm’s last big app compatibility gaps

Using a Windows PC with an Arm-based Snapdragon processor in it feels a lot like using a regular-old Intel or AMD PC these days, thanks to the work developers have put in to get their apps running natively on Arm chips and the work Microsoft has done on Windows’ Prism technology for translating x86 apps to run on Arm processors. But some of the old compatibility gaps remain. For example, while many PC games will run well enough on an Arm PC without any changes from the game’s developer, online multiplayer games that rely on kernel-level anti-cheat software generally don’t

Anthropic CEO Says Spies Are After $100 Million AI Secrets In a ‘Few Lines of Code’

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei is worried that spies, likely from China, are getting their hands on costly “algorithmic secrets” from the U.S.’s top AI companies — and he wants the U.S. government to step in.
