Brain-to-Vehicle, in Real Time

What if your car knew you were about to turn before you moved the wheel? This study turns EEG brainwaves into steering intentions using deep learning, hinting at faster, more intuitive driver assistance.

Task: Predict left, right, or straight intentions while people “drove” in a simulator.
How: A convolutional neural network processed raw EEG with minimal pre-processing.
Result: 83.7% accuracy overall; right turns were easiest to detect, suggesting a spatial bias in brain activity.

Why it matters: Real-time brain-to-vehicle communication could cut reaction time, support safer assistance features, and open new options for drivers with limited mobility.

What’s next: Test outside the lab, reduce bias across directions, and refine comfort, safety, and reliability.

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

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

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
