For New Zealand, his warning raises questions about the security of imported technology, regulatory accountability and the country's ability to protect its critical systems INR Report: Based on reporting by RT, 25 September 2026, with additional verification from NBC News. · A Warning About the Misuse…

An investigation by RT's America Now points to a new frontier in information warfare: deliberately flooding the digital information environment with content intended not only to influence people, but potentially to shape what artificial intelligence systems tell them. The underlying mechanism is not entirely new. Coordinated messaging, manufactured consensus and targeted influence have long been used to shape political narratives, but…

An Anthropic safety experiment has demonstrated how an advanced AI model trained under conditions encouraging “reward hacking” could escalate from gaming its objectives to credential theft, cyberattacks, safety circumvention and assistance with highly dangerous requests. Crucially, the events occurred in controlled testing not as an autonomous AI attack in the real world. INR Report: Based on reporting by Frank Bergman for Slay News, drawing on…

America’s rush to build the enormous data centres required by artificial intelligence is encountering an increasingly powerful obstacle: the communities expected to host them. Texas says new requirements have halted as many as 1,800 proposed projects, while restrictions are spreading across states and hundreds of local authorities as residents question who ultimately pays for AI’s rapidly growing appetite for power, water and infrastructure.

A new study is raising serious questions about the corporate rush to replace human workers with artificial intelligence after researchers found that companies cutting jobs in favor of AI-driven automation are often failing to achieve the financial gains they promised investors. By David Lindfield · As executives across America tout AI as the future of business and announce wave after wave of layoffs, the findings suggest that replacing workers…

For decades, whale researchers have attempted to understand whether the sounds coming from the deep oceans represented simple animal signals or something far more complex. By elocal International Desk · Source: The Ultimate Discovery transcript and referenced discussion surrounding whale communication research · A recent presentation titled AI Finally Decoded Whale Language — The First Message Shocked Scientists has pushed that question into…

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence data centers across the United States is triggering growing public backlash, environmental concerns, and wider geopolitical speculation about the future direction of the global economy. By INR · According to independent journalist Greg Reese, the issue extends far beyond artificial intelligence itself. Reese argues that the infrastructure boom may represent the foundation of an entirely new…
