Agents, Asteroids, and AI-enabled programming

See what innovations made this month's Radar.

Tech came in like a lion in March—and stayed a lion all month. Mike Loukides captures the welter of advancements in AI, security, ops, and more in the April edition of Radar Trends. Here's some of what he's tracking. Researchers have designed a noninvasive method for restoring communication by translating a subject's brainwaves into letters. A platform for developing AI agents is available on GitHub, and it doesn't require training. If a reasoning model challenges you to a game of chess, beware—it's not averse to cheating. Napster is still trying to reinvent itself; are you in? Phishing is moving beyond email, with major implications for security. And in a vaguely dubious quest to create an elephant that can withstand arctic conditions, researchers have harnessed CRISPR to produce a "woolly mouse." It's a start.   Check it out  › Tim O'Reilly on AI code and its impact on programming We're not witnessing the end of programming but the beginning of something far bigger, says the founder of O'Reilly. In this episode of Hugo Bowne-Anderson's High Signal, Tim draws on past computing revolutions to explore how AI is reshaping what it means to build software, why real breakthroughs come from the edge—not incumbents—and what it takes to learn, teach, and build responsibly in the age of AI.
