In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is driving remarkable advancements. However, as with any powerful tool, there are dark sides to its applications. One of the most alarming developments in recent years is the rise of deepfakes—AI-generated videos and audio that are nearly indistinguishable from real recordings. …
Read More »Introduction Preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has been a major focus of international policy for over 70 years. However, a growing interest in high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), driven by billions of dollars in U.S. government funding, raises serious concerns about nuclear security. HALEU, enriched between 10% and 19.75% in …
