In computer science, there is a question that is so dangerous that it is impossible to answer it correctly. Neither hard, nor solved yet but just impossible. Before there was even an electronic computer, a 24 year old named Alan Turing asked if we can make a machine that reads any program and tells us if it will finish running or loop forever. He proved that the answer was no. And in proving it, he accidentally came up with the ideas that make up the basis of every computer that you have ever used. This is the Halting Problem.

This blog explores frameworks for embedding responsibility, security, and ethical governance in AI agents, drawing from ACM research to balance autonomy with human oversight for safe deployment.

Cyber threats have evolved beyond traditional password hacking into psychological manipulation. It explains how attackers now use social engineering, sentiment analysis, and AI-driven digital doppelgängers to exploit human behavior rather than technical systems. The piece highlights the rise of the “disinformation economy” and stresses the importance of building psychological firewalls, practicing digital minimalism, and fostering skepticism to stay safe in 2026.cyber threats have evolved beyond traditional password hacking into psychological manipulation.

A major theoretical breakthrough in computer science. Researchers at Tsinghua University developed a new algorithm for the single-source shortest path (SSSP) problem that is asymptotically faster than the 65-year-old Dijkstra's algorithm for large graphs. The new method bypasses the traditional "sorting barrier" but is currently too complex to replace Dijkstra's in everyday applications. Its significance lies in opening new avenues for research in graph algorithms and challenging long-held assumptions.

The dual role of artificial intelligence in the modern digital security landscape. It explains how AI is weaponized by hackers for faster, more sophisticated attacks (like personalized phishing and deepfake scams), while simultaneously being leveraged by defenders for real-time threat detection, automated response, and predictive security measures. The blog concludes that AI is a powerful tool whose effectiveness depends on responsible use, but cautions that human behaviour remains the weakest link in cybersecurity systems.

A new AI-driven technique called mind captioning. This approach converts patterns of brain activity, captured via fMRI scans, into detailed sentences describing what a person is seeing or imagining, even when recalling videos from memory. The article highlights that this breakthrough not only advances the understanding of how the brain forms meaning but also offers practical applications for communication in individuals with language impairments, while emphasizing the ethical need to safeguard mental privacy.

Discusses the shift in Large Language Models (LLMs) from large parameter counts to efficiency, introducing the "15% Rule", the concept that only a small fraction of an LLM's weights are actively used. It details strategies for creating "Compact AI," such as SparseGPT for one-shot weight pruning and Reinforced Context Pruning to streamline the thought process. The piece concludes by advocating for elastic models that can dynamically adjust their size based on the task, while also cautioning about the Matthew Effect, which is the risk of losing specialized knowledge when models are reduced.
