When a phone is lost or stolen, reporting it to a cellular carrier is supposed to prevent unauthorized use. Michigan State University researchers have found that weaknesses in the reporting system itself could potentially be exploited to block legitimate devices from cellular networks.
More than 200 researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and government partners gathered in East Lansing on Aug. 11 for the 2026 Mobility Summit, themed “Michigan Moves: Building the Next Mobility Economy.”
As AI models evolve, we’ve seen how they harness the power of immense volumes of data. However, sometimes they tap into data they shouldn’t. When this happens, the system owner may be ordered by a regulatory agency or court to remove the data. Traditionally, when AI models needed to stop using data, the only reliable option was to rebuild the entire model from scratch. A new learning paradigm contributed by MSU researcher Sijia Liu allows AI models to selectively forget, or “unlearn,” specific data sets without the need to scrap the whole model.

MSU Amateur Radio Club traces its roots to 1919, when students used radio to broadcast weather reports and farm market prices with the call letters 8YG. In 1925, that early station became part of the history of WKAR, MSU’s public broadcasting station, while a separate amateur radio station was formed as 8XBU and later renamed 8SH.
Today, W8MSU and W8SH make up MSU Amateur Radio Club, giving students hands-on experience with radio communication, technical operations and community service.
Spartan Engineers are among the top researchers at Michigan State University for producing commercialization and innovative discoveries. Two new grants, totaling more than $1 million, are adding to MSU’s ability to build the economy and generate jobs for Michigan and the Midwest.
