DRC: LARSICOM celebrates four years of research in information and communication sciences

Launched on October 20, 2022, at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Kinshasa, LARSICOM is marking four years of research in information and communication sciences. At a press conference on October 20, its president, Professor Pierre N’Sana of UNISIC, outlined the laboratory’s achievements, including the Congolese Journalism Meetings, which examined multiple screens in 2023 and journalism and artificial intelligence in 2025. The laboratory also holds quarterly Martelaxis events and internal scientific meetings, aiming to bring researchers, professionals, and decision-makers closer together.

AI challenges mathematics by solving the unsolvable

Since April, AI companies have been publishing solutions to previously unsolved mathematical problems, and OpenAI released 719 such solutions last week. Hugo Duminil-Copin, the 2022 Fields Medal winner, says the advances have upended research avenues, while Stéphane Mallat, a 2025 CNRS Gold Medal recipient, argues mathematicians will remain essential for clear thinking, understanding and teaching. The Simons Foundation announced a $15 million programme co-funded by OpenAI and Anthropic to help mathematicians assess AI-generated results and set standards for their use. François Charles of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris acknowledges changes to the profession but remains optimistic about the scientific outlook.

Russia Moves Military Satellite Close to Commercial Satellite Providing Intelligence to Ukraine

The Russian military satellite Cosmos 2612 came within 1.6 kilometers of a commercial radar satellite operated by Finland’s ICEYE, whose data provides intelligence to Ukrainian forces. The CSIS, which reported the maneuver five days earlier based on commercial space-tracking data, warned that the Russian satellite could threaten the spacecraft and called for a unified Western response. The center noted that Cosmos-series satellites had approached the same satellite in May, with Cosmos 2609 coming within 2.5 kilometers. In 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry official Konstantin Vorontsov warned that quasi-civilian infrastructure could become a legitimate target for retaliation.
