Some consumer detection tools claim to identify hidden cameras, microphones or trackers through methods such as signal-strength readings, infrared lens detection and scanning for wifi or Bluetooth devices.

However, new research from UCL Computer Science found that many of these detection fail to adequately help users identify hidden surveillance devices, which can give domestic abuse victims a false sense of security.

Lead research author Akhil Polamarasetty and co-author Leonie Tanczer share more insights in The Guardian ➡️ https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/aug/23/spying-device-detectors-may-give-domestic-abuse-victims-false-sense-of-security-study-finds?

Many tools fail to help victims find hidden cameras, microphones and trackers, leaving them at risk of ongoing surveillance

We’re excited to announce the launch of the AI Research Foundations Toolkit, created by UCL and the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), with Google.org’s support.

Built on the no-cost Google DeepMind: AI Research Foundations curriculum, this toolkit enables universities to embed Large Language Model (LLM) education directly into classroom teaching, balancing advanced technical skills with ethical responsibility.

Co-designed with African educators to fit real classroom environments, Project Manager at AIMS Michael Alummoottil shares:
“By combining this technical expertise with an on-the-ground understanding of African STEM education, we have developed resources that are built around the practical realities of our classrooms.”

The result is a flexible, modular resource featuring over 50 hours of lesson plans, classroom activities, and interdisciplinary learning that educators anywhere can adapt to their context.

One of the best things about studying in London? 💡

The talks, exhibitions, festivals and events happening every week.

Sometimes the most interesting part of your degree starts after you've left the lecture theatre.
