- The Pentagon is setting up secure environments for AI companies to train generative AI models on classified military data, a move that could embed sensitive intelligence into the models themselves and brings AI firms closer to classified information than ever before.
- New nuclear reactor designs are emerging, introducing a wide range of materials and waste types that will require innovative engineering solutions for waste management.
- Nvidia has launched NemoClaw, an AI agent platform focused on privacy and security, which has led to a surge in Chinese AI stocks and secured Beijing's approval for Nvidia to sell its H200 chips.
- Uncrewed narco subs, leveraging off-the-shelf technology like Starlink and autopilots, are poised to transform the Colombian drug trade by moving more cocaine over longer distances without risking human smugglers, a development law enforcement is just beginning to address.
Why it matters: From AI in classified ops to nuclear waste and drug trafficking, tech is reshaping global security and industry.
