- 1ICE arrests hit record levels amid 'invisibilized' tactics●Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting more people than ever, with operations often over in about 90 seconds. Agents increasingly wear plain clothes and unmarked vehicles, a tactic critics call 'invisibilized' enforcement that leaves immigrants and bystanders unsure who is detaining whom. The Guardian's report has drawn wide attention, with civil liberties groups raising alarm about due process and accountability in the sweeping arrest campaign.
- 2New physics-grounded AI framework targets testable material predictions●Physics-grounded AI framework aims to make predictions about new materials more testable
Researchers have introduced an AI framework for predicting new materials that is grounded in physics, with the aim of making its predictions more testable. By building physical principles into the model, the approach is intended to improve transparency and allow experimental scientists to verify predictions of novel materials more reliably than with conventional black-box AI methods.
