AIAI-generated summary Philippe Jaenada told French radio that he used ChatGPT while writing his novel L'Inconnue du quai de Javel after winning the Prix Goncourt. The admission followed the removal of a different book from the longlist by the Académie Goncourt over allegations of artificial intelligence use.

AIAI-generated summary A University of Cambridge and DIOSynVax Ltd team developed an artificial intelligence-guided bird flu vaccine that provided complete protection against diverse variants in animal trials. Published in Cell Reports Medicine, the study showed the new vaccine outperformed existing government-stockpiled vaccines that protected only about half of the tested animals.

AIAI-generated summary Duke Energy Corp. is forecasting a data-center boom in the regions that the company serves. Brian Savoy, the chief financial officer of Duke, stated in an interview that he does not expect any slowing in their territories.

AIAI-generated summary Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute created the Quest2Dx framework to screen for early signs of Parkinson's disease using health questionnaires. The research team published details in Nature Aging describing how the model analyzes lengthy questionnaires to help doctors identify patients who may need early testing.

AIAI-generated summary Recent studies indicate that human-to-human collaboration is declining as employees rely more on artificial intelligence instead of coworkers. A Harvard Business Review study by Kate Niederhoffer and Jeffrey T. Hancock surveyed 1,033 employees and found that heavy AI use erodes trust and coordination within teams.

AIAI-generated summary The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation reported a construction labor shortage of roughly 439,000 workers as of November 2025. Google committed $10 million in 2025 to the Electrical Training Alliance to help train electricians and new apprentices within five years.

AIAI-generated summary Researchers study the scientific use of Claude, Claude Code, and Claude Science using privacy-preserving infrastructure on consumer plans from August 2 to September 30, 2026. The report shows that formal sciences use Claude more heavily, and scientists utilize the tool more frequently for analyzing data and writing.

AIAI-generated summary Denise Herzing, founder and director of the Wild Dolphin Project, states that artificial intelligence is helping her research group find patterns in the communication of Atlantic spotted dolphins. Herzing is collaborating with scientists at Georgia Tech and Google DeepMind to structure the language of dolphins and attempt two-way communication using an underwater wearable computer.

AIAI-generated summary Fast Company reports that after advertising a freelance-writer job, editors received applications and pitches from artificial intelligence agents and services such as iLands. The Media Copilot tested an artificial intelligence agent named Ash by requesting a spec article about Zapier, noting the resulting draft required editing and fact-checking.
