What does it take to build AI that societies can actually trust? Today, Frontiers Science House brings that question to Washington, D.C. with “Trustworthy AI: in systems, for society”, opening the ‘Road to Geneva’, a series of gatherings building toward the Geneva AI Global Summit 2027. Following a keynote from the Swiss Ambassador to the United States, a panel of industry, research, and government voices explores what it takes to build and govern trustworthy AI in high-stakes systems: from responsible AI practice and safety-focused research to the regulatory approaches shaping AI policy. Confirmed speakers: • Ioannis Koutroulis, Director, Trustworthy AI Initiative, The George Washington University • Ani Gevorkian, Senior Director on Responsible AI, Microsoft • Steve Crawford, Senior Project Executive, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Moderated by Frederick Fenter, Chief Executive Editor, Frontiers Closing remarks from Dr. Conner Prochaska, Director of Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and Chief AI Officer, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Giving science a seat at the table, one stop at a time. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSGZB-aC #FrontiersScienceHouse #RoadToGeneva

On Friday, UNU-CPR and Frontiers, in collaboration with the Group of Friends on Science for Action, convened a Science-Policy Luncheon on the margins of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (#UNGA81). The discussion drew on “From Science to Policy: Planetary Solutions in Action”, a policy brief developed by Frontiers Policy Labs, UNU-CPR, PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and UNESCO. The policy brief translates research from the 25 Frontiers Planet Prize National Champions into policy pathways across decarbonization, water, biodiversity and institutional reform. 🔗 📘 https://lnkd.in/gJbd9d3Z Researchers, policy experts and Member State representatives discussed three questions: 1. What makes scientific evidence useful to policymakers, and how can links between science and decision-making be strengthened? 2. What conditions are needed to move promising solutions from research into implementation at scale, including finance, institutions, infrastructure and international cooperation? 3. How can scientific findings inform multilateral negotiations, and where are important evidence gaps? Speakers included UNU Rector and UN Under-Secretary-General Tshilidzi Marwala チリツィ マルワラ [丸笑], Laure Zanna of New York University, Julie Zimmerman of Yale University, Ayaka Suzuki of the United Nations, Amir AghaKouchak of the UC Irvine, Rafael Peralta of UN Environment Programme, and 2026 Frontiers Planet Prize National Champions Helen Findlay and Nicolas Roux. The event was moderated by Madeleine Hamel of UNU-CPR and George Thomas of Frontiers. With UNGA High-Level Week now underway, the discussion considered how to make better use of scientific evidence in decisions on climate change, biodiversity, water, sea-level rise and other planetary challenges, and what is needed to turn promising research into action. #SciencePolicy #PlanetarySolutions #UNUCPR #Frontiers #PlanetPrize

New York Climate Week brings together more than 1,000 events during UN General Assembly week. This year, Frontiers is joining SwissNex on the Swiss stage. Today, at ‘Visualizing Climate Worlds: Data, AI, and Immersive Futures’, experts explore how satellite data, AI, and immersive technology can make climate change easier to understand and help inform better decisions for the future. The panel features Zia Mehrabi, 2025 Frontiers Planet Prize winner and Director of the Better Planet Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, alongside John E. Fernandez from MIT and Zoe Lee, co-founder of BEAM. Connect with Frontiers at the event. Explore the program➡️ https://lnkd.in/eENe-UjW #OpenScienceChampions #FrontiersPlanetPrize

“If you think it costs a lot to get clean technology projects going, think again.” - Ann Mettler, President, Catalyse Europe Yesterday, at Frontiers Science House US roadshow during the Science Summit 2026, Ann Mettler argued that moving beyond fossil fuels is not just an environmental priority, but a question of sovereignty, and one that focused policy can help address. As the 'Power, rewired: building the climate-energy future' panel highlighted, fossil-fuel dependence is already costing us more than we realize.

As we reflect on #PeerReviewWeek, we want to recognize the people at the heart of peer review, reviewers. Reviewers are an essential part of trusted, validated science. They bring their expertise and judgement to each paper, asking difficult questions, challenging the evidence and helping make research stronger. Much of that work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is significant. It helps protect the quality and credibility of the scientific record and, ultimately, moves science forward. To every reviewer who gives their time, knowledge and care to this process, thank you. #QualityChampions #PRW2026

Meet us at Open Access Tage 2026 in Linz, Austria. Frontiers' Institutional Partnerships team will be there from 28 to 30 September — Alyssa Maghuyop, MPP, key account manager, and Alexander Stavrev, account development specialist. In their words: "For us, shaping change with responsibility means transparent, collaborative partnerships for libraries and researchers. With the year-end around the corner, let's meet at #OAT26 to discuss renewals and new institutional agreements for 2027." Request a meeting with us ➡️ https://lnkd.in/egwfYKxY

Last week, for Peer Review Week’s 10th anniversary, we asked what’s changed most in peer review over the last decade. The clear answer: AI tools. That result reflects a wider shift highlighted in our AI white paper earlier this year: AI is already widely used by researchers and is becoming increasingly embedded across the research and publishing landscape. In peer review, that creates both opportunities and responsibilities. AI can support parts of the process, but rigorous review still depends on expert judgement, transparency and human accountability. For practical guidance on using AI responsibly in research, our AI Playbook is a useful starting point. Discover the guide ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eyz4YjEY #QualityChampions #PeerReviewWeek #PRW2026
Peer Review Week is coming this week and this year marks its 10th anniversary. Trust starts with peer review, built on a decade of progress and innovation across the research community.

What if AI could understand gravity, causality and how objects move, not just describe them in words? That is the promise of world models, named one of the Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026 in the report we co-publish with the World Economic Forum. Writing in The Innovator, Jennifer Schenker explores why some of the biggest names in AI are racing to build them — and what it could mean for research. As report co-author Hiroaki Kitano puts it: world models ‘will really change the way we do science.’ Read the article ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eC69uTMz Image credit: World Economic Forum.

A new study published in Frontiers in Bird Science and covered by BBC Science Focus asked 84 people to rate 123 different birdsongs by how calming they sound. Surprisingly, the common blackbird topped the ranking, beating out the famously melodic nightingale. At the other end of the scale, the barn owl’s screech came in last. So what separates a soothing song from a grating one? The most beloved birdsongs tended to be more complex and higher in pitch, though not so high that they fall into the frequency range human hearing is most sensitive to. Researchers suggest we may be wired to prefer these variable, moderate sounds because they signal a safe, healthy environment. Curious which birds made the top (and bottom) five?
