Breakthrough Hydrogen-Based AI Chip Mimics Human Brain for Self-Learning A research team from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has developed the world’s first two-terminal artificial intelligence semiconductor that utilizes hydrogen ions for self-learning and memory. This innovative technology precisely controls hydrogen ion injection and discharge with electrical signals, emulating the human brain’s ability to perform computation and storage simultaneously. Unlike conventional oxide-based memory devices that suffer from stability issues due to oxygen vacancies, this hydrogen-based approach resolves speed degradation and high power consumption in modern AI data processing. The neuromorphic semiconductor operates by changing its conductivity based on electrical signals and maintaining that state, similar to an artificial synapse. This breakthrough was achieved in a two-terminal vertical structure, which is advantageous for high-density AI chips due to its potential for high integration and simple manufacturing. The device has demonstrated high reliability, successfully running for over 10,000 repetitive operations. ...

Nuro Tests Self-Driving Cars in Tokyo, Marking First International Expansion U.S. self-driving startup Nuro has commenced testing its autonomous vehicles on public roads in Tokyo, representing the company’s first international deployment. The vehicles are currently operating with safety drivers present. This expansion is notable as Nuro claims its system did not require pre-training on local Japanese driving data, a capability it refers to as “zero-shot” autonomy. The company’s technology is designed to learn the fundamental principles of safe driving, allowing it to adapt to new environments like Tokyo’s dense and complex streets, which feature left-side driving and different traffic patterns from the U.S. Backed by investors including Nvidia and Toyota, Nuro has established a local office and deployed a small number of test cars to begin data collection. The company is also partnered with Uber and Lucid Group. ...

AI News: Anthropic Alleges Data Theft & Samsung Unveils Gemini-Powered S26 The AI sector is buzzing with significant developments, led by a serious accusation from Anthropic. The company has identified and taken action against coordinated campaigns by three Chinese AI labs to improperly access and learn from its Claude AI. The labs allegedly involved are: DeepSeek Moonshot AI MiniMax These labs reportedly created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts to generate more than 16 million interactions with Claude. The efforts were aimed at ‘model distillation,’ a technique used to transfer the capabilities of a more advanced model to a new one. Anthropic noted the campaigns specifically targeted Claude’s key strengths in agentic reasoning, coding, and tool-use. ...

Critical Security Flaws in Anthropic’s Claude Code Expose Users to Remote Code Execution Cybersecurity researchers have discovered critical security vulnerabilities in Anthropic’s AI-powered coding assistant, Claude Code. The identified flaws could potentially allow for remote code execution (RCE) and the theft of sensitive API credentials. These vulnerabilities reside in configuration mechanisms like Hooks and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary shell commands and exfiltrate Anthropic API keys when a developer clones and opens an untrusted repository. One significant issue is a code injection vulnerability that bypasses user consent when initializing Claude Code in a new project directory. ...
