AI Agents That Blow Things Up, EPA Risks Deaths

A lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses the Environmental Protection Agency of abandoning its mission to protect public health by repealing a finding that served as the basis for federal climate change regulations for 17 years, potentially risking "thousands of avoidable deaths," according to the lawsuit. The suit, brought by more than a dozen environmental and health groups, including the American Public Health Association and the Sierra Club, challenges the EPA's decision to revoke the endangerment finding.

The lawsuit specifically targets the EPA's recent actions regarding climate change regulations. The groups involved have asked the US Court of Appeals for action. This legal challenge comes as scientific evidence unequivocally demonstrates that the Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate, with human activity identified as the principal cause, as stated by NASA. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed that the influence of human activity on climate warming has evolved from theory to established fact since the 1970s.

In other news, the development of artificial intelligence continues to advance, with applications ranging from complex legal analysis to military operations. While enterprises often prioritize accuracy when building and deploying AI, especially in nuanced industries like law, accuracy alone isn't enough, according to VentureBeat. Models must also be assessed for relevancy, authority, and citation accuracy. LexisNexis has evolved its AI beyond standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to tackle these challenges.

Meanwhile, in the realm of military technology, Scout AI is developing AI agents designed to seek and destroy targets using explosive drones. In a recent demonstration at an undisclosed military base, the AI agents successfully located and destroyed a truck. "We need to bring next-generation AI to the military," said Colby Adcock, Scout AI's CEO, in a recent interview.

In a separate story highlighting the importance of innovative solutions, animal behaviorists partnered with the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society to save an endangered white rhino with a parasitic eye infection. The team traveled to Africa in August to administer eye drops to the rhino, a seemingly "ridiculous idea" that proved successful. "Believe me, we didn't think of it; it was a completely ridiculous idea to us," said Daniel Terblanche, a security manager with Imvelo Safari Lodges.
