Utah regulators on Monday announced a plan to allow an AI product to evaluate patients and write new drug prescriptions without prior human review.
A startup called Nolla Health will launch an AI-powered service in the state that will assess a patient for mild-to-moderate acne treatment using a structured intake and by analyzing photos of their skin. The product may determine whether one of a list of low-risk drugs is appropriate.
In the first stages of the pilot, the decisions of the AI will be reviewed by a licensed clinician who will sign off on prescriptions, but Nolla may eventually be allowed to prescribe drugs without this review.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is demanding that Flock Safety delete personal data not connected to crimes and disclose whether federal agencies have accessed the companyβs nationwide license-plate database.
βA company canβt just come in and collect personal information about our entire lives and not answer any questions about it,β β Schumer said.
βWe have no insight into what contracts this company has here, or how much of this information law enforcement is using.β

OpenAI just announced its plans to comply with part of the European Union's new AI transparency rules. The company will soon begin adding an invisible watermark to text and code generated in the EU. This follows a similar move by Anthropic earlier this year.
OpenAI is using a proprietary system called textGrain that "adds an invisible statistical signal to the model's word choices." Once added, a detector can spot these signals and ascertain if there's a watermark.

The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded solar company Overview Energy a contract to develop and test a homing beacon for a space-based solar system designed to beam power from orbit to Earth.
Orbital solar panels could capture sunlight 24/7, avoiding the intermittency of terrestrial solar. Energy could be transmitted to Earth via lasers or microwaves, potentially reducing wasted power and easing the growing mismatch between renewable generation and demand. If the technology proves viable, space-based solar could become a major new source of clean energy.

A circulating document set is being used to make a simple point: in traditional finance landscape charts, XRP and XLM were never drawn as generic public crypto. They were filed under infrastructure built for institutions.
That distinction is the whole argument being revived: XRP and XLM were drawn for the banking stack from early on & those old maps still get pulled up whenever the market asks which crypto protocols were built with institutions in mind.

Chinese doctors have performed an unprecedented surgery to save an unborn child who developed a fast-growing tumour. A medical team from Shenzhen and Hong Kong recently completed a challenging, precise reduction of a foetal chest tumour while the baby was still in the womb, offering new hope to families facing similarly dire prognoses.
Jointly performed by doctors from Shenzhen Baoan Womenβs and Childrenβs Hospital and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the procedure was detailed and published on August 20 in the peer-reviewed journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

βIβm disappointed that Congress failed to get market structure legislation to President Donald J. Trump' desk. But the CFTC has statutory authority and we're going to use it to protect Americans and provide a federally regulated path for crypto,β β CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said.
The latest proposals mark another important step toward establishing a more defined regulatory framework for the U.S. digital asset industry.
Clearer rules of the road for crypto are on the way. The future of crypto regulation is looking brighter.

𧬠Unlocking plant DNA in hours, instead of years
Scientists are using AI to identify the DNA mutations that give crops valuable traits, like drought resistance and higher yields.
Living Models paired Gemma 4 with BOTANIC-1, an AI trained on the DNA of 320 plant species. In one test, the system identified the correct yield-related mutation in a melon in under four minutes, ranking it #1 out of 2,494 possibilities.
The bigger goal goes beyond melons: this AI pipeline could dramatically accelerate crop research and help scientists develop climate-resilient crops faster β potentially strengthening global food security as the climate changes.

The Wikimedia Foundation says rogue OpenAI agents made unauthorized Wikipedia edits and may have been partially responsible for a May outage.
While investigating whether its websites have also been affected by AI agents, Wikimedia found that OpenAI agents made edits to wikis without prior approval, unsuccessfully tried to exploit a public note-taking tool, and made millions of API requests and data queries while scraping Wikimedia sites.
"We've identified edits to Wikimedia wikis that we believe are from AI agents operated by OpenAI. These edits were not published to pages with visibility to general readers; almost all of them were testing edits in 'sandbox' areas of the wiki," β Wikimedia Chief Product and Technology Officer Selena Deckelmann said.

OKX and Intercontinental Exchange filed with the SEC to launch 24/7 trading of tokenized versions of over 60 U.S. stocks, using a recent exemption for on-chain securities. This fits into a growing trend of tokenizing RWAs for faster settlements and constant access, with Chainlink often cited for its oracles and cross-chain tools that support pricing, collateral, and interoperability.

Speaking at OKXβs βOKX NOWβ 2026 Summit on October 6, Buterin argued that AI could become a primary interface for interacting with blockchains, while warning that the shift would relocate some risks rather than eliminate them.
The example suggests a different model for blockchain interaction: users describe what they want to accomplish, while an AI agent handles the technical steps required to execute the operation. Buterin indicated that these kinds of interactions could become increasingly normal as AI capabilities improve.

The Central Bank of Russia has added Sberbank and VTB to the digital depository register. VTB Bank has also been added to the register of organizations which can exchange cryptocurrency.
"We expect to open access to trading in digital currencies for a wide range of investors via VTB My Investments and directly via the bank's crypto exchange as early as November and December 2026 respectively," β VTB Deputy CEO Vitaly Sergeichuk said.
"A stablecoin transaction was concluded with the broker's corporate clients. Settlements were processed via digital accounts at a digital depository based on VTB's depository infrastructure. Blockchain access was facilitated through an upstream digital depository," β the bank said, quoting Olga Kim, head of VTB's depository.
Sberbank said on October 5 that it planned to launch its first crypto-currency products on December 1, 2026, though the date depends on the Central Bank's decision regarding the application and whether regulatory acts are ready.
