Primate visual systems recognize moving objects under severe appearance changes that cause artificial vision models to fail. Engineers often assume that modern computer vision systems process video dynamics in the same way biological eyes and brains do. Living brains maintain tracking by progressively weaving movement data into object identities over fractions of a second.

Artificial intelligence systems fail far more often during everyday duties than from hostile digital attacks. Most people assume hackers and prompt injections cause the biggest AI safety hazards. Instead, automated agents break down because they misjudge collisions between two valid goals while executing normal instructions.
Artificial intelligence agents operating without central coordinators produced new mathematical discoveries and proofs across five distinct problems. Automated mathematics previously depended on human guidance or rigid, pre-scripted computational pipelines. Here, software agents from diverse model families selected their own goals, wrote code, exchanged papers in a shared digital library, and verified calculations together.
