Photon framework scales AI vulnerability discovery
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryOak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed Photon, a scalable framework that uses exascale computing to rapidly identify vulnerabilities in artificial intelligence systems. Created by ORNL’s Center for AI Security Research, Photon enables automated, large-scale testing of AI models to uncover risks such as adversarial attacks and system failures before they can be exploited. By combining high-performance computing with advanced AI techniques, the framework significantly accelerates vulnerability discovery and strengthens the security and reliability of AI used in critical applications.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityTeaching robots to fly like birds
Rutgers UniversityA bird banking in a crosswind doesn’t rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment.
Engineers at Rutgers University have taken a major step toward building bird-like drones that move the same way, flapping their wings like real birds, using electricity-driven materials instead of conventional electromagnetic motors to power them.
