Today's News
Today, Japan’s highest court drew a firm line on AI inventorship, ruling that only humans can be named on patents, while Salesforce fired a major salvo in the workplace AI war by unleashing a new thinking Slackbot. These twin developments underscore the accelerating tension between legal frameworks built for human creators and the commercial reality of autonomous AI systems.
- AI can't be listed as inventor on patent applications, Japan's top court rules — Japan’s Supreme Court ruled on March 6, 2026, that artificial intelligence cannot be listed as an inventor on patent applications, settling a pivotal legal question as generative AI increasingly produces commercially viable outputs. The decision aligns Japan with the U.S. and Europe, reinforcing the principle that only natural persons hold inventorship rights. This ruling leaves companies scrambling to determine how to protect AI-generated innovations without naming the AI itself.
- Salesforce rolls out new Slackbot AI agent as it battles Microsoft and Google in workplace AI — On July 3, 2026, Salesforce officially deployed a new AI-powered agent for Slack, marking its most aggressive move yet in the three-way workplace AI war against Microsoft and Google. The agent, dubbed “The Slackbot That Thinks,” can autonomously summarize threads, draft replies, and trigger workflows based on conversation context. Salesforce is betting this deep integration will give it an edge as enterprises race to adopt AI assistants that don’t just respond, but proactively manage daily operations.

- Grounded autonomous research: a fault-tolerant LLM pipeline from corpus to manus — Haonan Huang. Autonomous-research agents have demonstrated end-to-end LLM automation in machine-learning sandboxes where execution provides calibration.
- A Hippocampus for Linear Attention: An Exact Memory for What the Recurrent State — Wanyun Cui. Linear-attention and state-space language models compress the prefix into a fixed-size recurrent state, yielding O(1) memory at the cost of a lossy exact memory: when many key--value associations comp...
- Generalization in offline RL: The structure is more important than the amount of — Max Weltevrede, Matthijs T. J. Spaan, Wendelin Böhmer. While pessimism counteracts overestimation bias in offline reinforcement learning (RL), being overly conservative has been associated with hindering certain forms of generalization.
