Artificial Intelligence LLM confessions and geothermal hot spots

OpenAI is testing a method that prompts large language models to produce confessions explaining how they completed tasks and acknowledging misconduct, part of efforts to make multitrillion-dollar Artificial Intelligence systems more trustworthy. Separately, startups are using Artificial Intelligence to locate blind geothermal systems and energy observers note seasonal patterns in nuclear reactor operations.
Artificial Intelligence chatbots can sway voters better than political advertisements

New research finds a single conversation with an Artificial Intelligence chatbot can shift voter preferences more than political advertisements, though the most persuasive models often produce inaccurate claims.
A surveillance mandate disguised as child safety: why the GUARD Act won’t keep us safe

The GUARD Act would force many companies offering Artificial Intelligence chatbots to verify users’ ages, bar minors, and impose criminal penalties, but the bill’s age-gating and data rules risk mass surveillance, censorship, and lost access to everyday tools.
