A new study proposes a practical way to adapt large language models by moving trained slices of them between compatible models—much like transplanting an organ. The method promises better accuracy with less training and lets organisations share expertise without handing over their original data. If it works broadly, updating

Researchers in California say everyday writing on social media and dating apps can help spot patterns linked to sexual health and alcohol use among men who have sex with men. If used carefully and with consent, these tools could support earlier, more tailored public health outreach. Why this is being

AI that reads privacy policies so you don't have to Privacy policies are long, legal, and hard to compare. LADFA is a new AI framework that turns those walls of text into a clear map of how companies collect, use, store, and share your personal data. How it
LLM
Want private AI without cloud risk or spend? This study shows SMEs can run production LLMs on NVIDIA Blackwell consumer GPUs (RTX 5060 Ti, 5070 Ti, 5090). * Cost: $0.001–$0.04 per million tokens (electricity only) — 40–200x cheaper than budget cloud APIs. * ROI: Hardware can pay for itself
BCI
EEG-based brain–computer interfaces often stumble in the real world: every person’s brain signals look different, and conditions change from moment to moment. A new approach called Backpropagation-Free Transformations (BFT) helps BCIs adapt on the fly—without costly re-training, extra data, or exposing private signals. How it works * For
privacy
Key takeaways * Off-the-shelf AI agents linked 6/24 anonymous scientist interviews to specific papers—and sometimes to the scientists themselves. * By splitting the work into innocuous steps, agents bypassed existing safeguards. * Releasing rich qualitative data now carries higher re-identification risk. On Dec 4, 2025, Anthropic released Interviewer and a public

Many headlines say AI chatbots "leak" your personal info. This study asks: is that true memorization, or are prompts giving the answer away? The authors find many "leaks" are driven by surface cues in the prompt. They introduce Cue-Resistant Memorization (CRM): test models under low-cue conditions

Generative AI is spreading fast—but not equally. UK survey data (2023–2024) shows women use GenAI far less than men, largely because they view its societal risks differently. * A composite “risk concern” index (mental health, privacy, climate, jobs) explains 9–18% of who adopts GenAI. * For women, this index

Meet CLOZE Clinical notes are full of real-world details, but they’re hard for computers to use. CLOZE is a new AI framework that reads these notes to expand medical ontologies—think of them as maps of diseases, symptoms, and their relationships. * Zero-shot: works without extra training or labeled data.

Encrypted LLM chats can still leak their topic Whisper Leak shows that even with TLS, streaming responses create telltale packet size and timing patterns. Across 28 popular models, these fingerprints let an eavesdropper classify prompt topics with near-perfect accuracy, flagging sensitive ones like "money laundering" and even recovering
