Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has spoken out against formal government regulation of artificial intelligence. He argued that AI is not a fundamentally alien or unknowable technology, but rather a combination of hardware and software.

He contends that individual companies are better positioned than regulators to engineer and manage AI safety standards.

Canon EOS R8 Mark II adds in-body stabilization, retro design at $1,899

Canon has announced the EOS R8 Mark II, the successor to its 2023 entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera. The most significant upgrade is the addition of in-body image stabilization, a feature notably absent from the original R8. The new model also features a retro-inspired exterior redesign, though it is slightly heavier than its predecessor at approximately 1.2 pounds. Despite the added weight, it remains lighter and more affordable than the recently released EOS R6 Mark III. The Canon EOS R8 Mark II is priced at $1,899 and is expected to go on sale in late October.

Most US Voters Oppose AI Data Centers, Poll Finds, With No Party Gaining Edge

A New York Times and Siena University poll released Tuesday found that 61 percent of likely voters oppose the construction of data centers to power AI technology. The survey covered 1,503 likely voters and was conducted in early September, before recent discussions around AI safety slowdowns. Only 14 percent of respondents said they strongly support data center construction. Trump voters were nearly split at 49 percent support versus 45 percent opposition, while Harris voters and non-voters leaned more strongly against. The findings suggest AI infrastructure is broadly unpopular across the political spectrum, with neither major party holding a clear advantage on the issue.

NASA's Roman Telescope Carries Fuel for 22 Years, Twice Its Expected Lifespan

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been found to carry enough fuel to operate for approximately 22 years, double the agency's original expectations. The telescope holds the distinction of being the first NASA observatory specifically designed to support in-space refueling. This extended fuel capacity significantly increases the potential scientific lifespan of the mission. The surplus propellant offers NASA greater operational flexibility and the possibility of prolonged astronomical observations beyond the planned mission window.
