EU accused of leaving ‘devastating’ copyright loophole in AI Act
An architect of EU copyright law has said legislation is needed to protect writers, musicians and creatives left exposed by an “irresponsible” legal gap in the bloc’s Artificial Intelligence Act.
Mapping AI ethics narratives: evidence from Twitter discourse between 2015 and 2022
Through cross-level fine-grained mining, this study uncovers information hidden beneath the noise interference, which helps policymakers make targeted adjustments or improvements to policies. In addition, this research framework provides a reference for fine-grained mining of other specific issues in social media data.
Regulate or stagnate: Why the EU must lead on AI
While the US administration dodges regulation in the name of innovation, the real problem is the lack of common rules. Europe has an opportunity to set the standard—if it’s bold enough to take it

Research
Biggest-ever AI biology model writes DNA on demand
The model — which was trained on 128,000 genomes spanning the tree of life, from humans to single-celled bacteria and archaea — can write whole chromosomes and small genomes from scratch. It can also make sense of existing DNA, including hard-to-interpret ‘non-coding’ gene variants that are linked to disease.
A robust and adaptive controller for ballbots
In a recent study, a team has proposed a novel proportional integral derivative controller that, in combination with radial basis function neural network, robustly controls ballbot motion. This technology is expected to find applications in service robots, assistive robots, and delivery robots.
Screening Mammography and Artificial Intelligence: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
A total of 13 studies were analyzed, with data extracted on study characteristics, population demographics, artificial intelligence algorithms, and key outcomes. Artificial intelligence-assisted readings in screening mammography were found to be comparable or superior to traditional double readings by radiologists, reducing unnecessary recalls, improving specificity, and in some cases increasing cancer detection rates.
