Dead Internet Theory edges closer as 35% of new websites are now AI-generated, study reveals

Researchers from Stanford University, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive analyzed 33 months of web data and found that 35% of newly published websites by mid-2025 are AI-generated or AI-assisted. The study confirms the internet is becoming less diverse in ideas and increasingly cheerful in tone, though concerns about factual accuracy weren't validated.

Archaeologists at Pompeii use artificial intelligence to reconstruct victim of AD 79 eruption

Archaeologists at Pompeii have used artificial intelligence for the first time to create a digital reconstruction of a victim from the AD 79 Mount Vesuvius eruption. The AI-generated image shows a man fleeing with a terracotta mortar held over his head for protection, carrying an oil lamp and 10 bronze coins. The project, developed by the Pompeii Archaeological Park with the University of Padua, aims to enhance classical studies and make archaeological research more accessible to the public.

David Silver raises $1.1B for AI that learns without human data, challenging LLM dominance

Former DeepMind researcher David Silver has secured $1.1 billion in record-breaking seed funding for Ineffable Intelligence at a $5.1 billion valuation. The London-based startup aims to build a 'superlearner' AI using reinforcement learning rather than human-generated data, directly challenging the large language model paradigm that currently dominates the AI industry.

AI predicts ADHD in children by age 5, years before most get diagnosed

Duke Health researchers developed an AI tool that analyzes routine electronic health records to predict ADHD risk in children as young as 5, years before typical diagnosis. By mining hidden patterns in medical data from over 140,000 children, the model identifies developmental and behavioral markers that clinicians might miss, offering a clinical safety net for early intervention.

AI model designs new antibiotic in early tests, accelerating drug discovery against resistant bacteria

McMaster University researchers developed SyntheMol-RL, a generative AI model that explores 46 billion possible compounds to design antibiotics. In early tests, the AI created synthecin, a novel antibiotic that proved highly effective against drug-resistant staph infections in mouse models. The breakthrough demonstrates how AI can accelerate the slow, costly search for new antimicrobial medicines.

AI agent designs complete RISC-V CPU from scratch in 12 hours using autonomous workflow

Chip design startup Verkor.io claims its agentic AI system, Design Conductor, autonomously produced a complete RISC-V CPU core in just 12 hours—a process that typically takes 18 to 36 months. The resulting VerCore processor achieved 1.48 GHz on a 7nm process and scored 3,261 on CoreMark, though it remains unverified in physical silicon.

Princeton creates 3D neural network that computes with living brain cells to tackle AI energy crisis

Princeton University researchers have developed a groundbreaking bioelectronic device that merges tens of thousands of living brain cells with a 3D electronic mesh. The system successfully recognizes complex patterns while consuming just one-millionth the power of conventional AI systems. Monitored over six months, the device was trained to differentiate electrical patterns, demonstrating biocomputing capabilities that could reshape artificial intelligence and advance neuroscience research.

Elon Musk takes the stand in OpenAI lawsuit that could reshape the company's future

Elon Musk testified in a California federal court this week, alleging that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman deceived him into funding OpenAI as a nonprofit, only to pivot toward a for-profit entity. The high-stakes trial could result in up to $134 billion in damages and force major governance changes at OpenAI, potentially derailing its IPO plans while raising fundamental questions about AI safety and corporate accountability.
