Prism: AI that asks smarter questions, so you think less

14 Jan 2026 — 1 min read

Meet Prism, a new way for AI assistants to handle messy, real-world requests—especially on social platforms where your goals can change mid-conversation.

Instead of bombarding you with random clarifications, Prism breaks your request into parts, maps what depends on what, and asks only the right follow-ups in the right order.

Decomposes your intent and its dependencies
Generates logically ordered clarification questions
Learns via simulated interactions and self-tuning to keep improving

Across benchmarks, Prism delivers: 34.8% faster task completion, 14.4% higher user satisfaction, and logical conflicts down to 11.5%—with state-of-the-art consistency.

Why it matters: lower cognitive load for you, smoother conversations, and better outcomes when your goal is ambiguous or evolving.

Meet GRACE: a moral governor for safer, more transparent AI

AI agents are getting powerful—so how do we make sure they do the right thing, not just the effective thing? Meet GRACE, a reason-based moral governor that keeps AI behavior aligned with human norms by separating moral reasoning from goal-driven decision-making. * Moral Module: uses deontic logic and explicit reasons

Why some fine-tuned LLMs miss phishing—and how to fix it

Why some fine-tuned LLMs miss phishing—and how to fix it

Not all fine-tuned LLMs spot phishing equally. A new study tests Llama 3.1 8B, Gemma 2 9B, and Mistral on high-stakes phishing detection—and uses SHAP and mechanistic interpretability to reveal why models do (or don’t) generalize. * Architecture × data diversity matters: Gemma 2 9B hits state-of-the-art performance (F1

AI that explains itself—by following the science Black-box AI can be powerful, but it often can’t tell us why it made a decision. Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) try to fix that by predicting human-understandable concepts first, then the final answer. The catch: standard CBMs ignore domain-specific cause-and-effect and

Meet GenomAgent: A Team of AI Specialists for Smarter Genomics Q&A

TL;DR: Finding reliable answers in genomics is hard. GenomAgent turns one big AI into a coordinating team of specialists—and beats the current leader by 12% on a key benchmark. Genomic facts live across many databases. Standard chatbots struggle because they can’t flexibly query those sources. GeneGPT added
