ACL 2026 Rejects Over 100 Accepted Papers for Hallucinated Citations

ACL has desk-rejected more than 100 papers accepted to its 2026 annual conference

The decision by ACL exposes a growing integrity problem in AI research publishing, where the use of large language models in literature review is producing fabricated references that survive peer review.

Huawei says New Chip Design Law Can Ease AI Compute Constraints

Huawei said Kirin chips due in fall 2026 will be the first to use its LogicFolding architecture.

Huawei said Kirin chips due in fall 2026 will be the first to use its LogicFolding architecture. It also claimed its Tau Scaling based high-end chips could reach transistor density comparable to 1.4 nm processes by 2031.

EU’s Google Fine May Decide Who Controls AI Search in Europe

European Union is all set to impose its biggest penalty on Google under the digital markets act.

European Union’s reported fine against Google is formally about search self-preferencing. However, the larger fight is over whether Google can carry its search dominance into AI search as Gemini and AI-generated answers become part of how users find information online. The case also shows that while Europe may be slowing parts of the AI Act rollout, it is still willing to use competition law against Big Tech gatekeepers.

Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus agent autonomously solved nine open problems associated with Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős — two of them open for 56 years. The announcement, days after OpenAI claimed to have disproved an Erdős conjecture from 1946, signals a shift in how AI labs are testing mathematical reasoning.

Trump Pulls Back on AI Executive Order After Pressure from Sacks and Industry

US President Donald Trump postponed signing an executive order on artificial intelligence on Thursday, May 21, after last-minute lobbying from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and former White House AI adviser, David Sacks

The executive order would have required AI companies to share first-tier models with the Federal government at least 90 days before public release under a voluntary framework.

Taiwan Arrests 3 in NVIDIA Chip Smuggling Probe Tied to China Export Ban

aiwanese prosecutors have arrested three people on suspicion of forging documents to ship advanced NVIDIA AI chips to China, Macao, and Hong Kong. 

Taiwan has arrested three people for allegedly forging documents to smuggle Nvidia AI servers to China, Macau, and Hong Kong. The servers, made by Super Micro Computer, contain chips the US has banned from sale to China since 2022.

The executive order arrives one week after Trump concluded a 36-hour state visit to Beijing on May 14th and May 15th and is a reversal of the Trump administration’s earlier stance on AI oversight.

METR Report Says Frontier AI Agents Can Go Rogue Without Human Supervision

A report by METR has claimed that frontier AI agents of four major AI/tech companies-OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic and Google, were found to have capabilities to go rogue.

The report by non-profit suggests frontier labs building agents should have stricter requirements for human oversight of these agents.
