Explore our reporting on how AI and robotics change work, business and the world.
Google's Gemini 3.8 Live now offers a speaking video avatar through its enterprise API. Preset avatars are generally available; custom likenesses still require restricted access.
A Bonsai vision-language model ran locally on Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 glasses hardware. The published memory and speed gains describe a controlled test, not a shipping product.
Instinct can use connected services to read information and act on a user’s behalf. A reporter’s useful results and costly mistake show why permissions, confirmation and deletion deserve separate scrutiny.
An ITESO team built two RoboMeshA teaching robots and reports a workshop at one Guadalajara school. The AI functions and learning outcomes still lack independent evaluation.
Reporting points to a 2030s grid wait at Nscale's planned Loughton AI campus. The timeline for its proposed Microsoft Azure capacity is uncertain; UKPN has not confirmed a project date.
Eight Jev demos show how a typed AI decision can rank, select or filter within an existing app. We trace what the surrounding software still does and what remains untested.
Meta says Horizon Create and Horizon Studio can make and edit 2D or 3D mobile games for distribution across its platforms. The tools remain in limited testing, with access and earning terms unresolved.
A new survey maps five levels of AI control over its own improvement. Existing systems show bounded gains, while reliable improvement across successive generations remains unproven.
New Jersey says DataOne installed and operated 62 natural-gas generators without air permits at its Vineland AI data center. The $1.07 million penalty is an assessment, and DataOne disputes the state's finding.
A Forecasting Research Institute review finds repeated underestimates of AI benchmark progress and an overestimate on a laboratory task. Broad societal-impact forecasts remain largely unresolved.
Meta's VR Glasses put an AI assistant into a glasses-style VR system with a tethered computer. Brief demos show the controls; sales are planned for spring 2027 at $1,299.99 USD.
Meta says Muse for Mac can operate apps with user permission. The Mac download is available, while the precise desktop permission scope and glasses integration remain unverified or forthcoming.
At Ireland's Whitegate power plant, an ANYmal inspection robot used a digital credential to pass controlled doors during a several-week pilot. Commercial availability and measured outcomes remain unreported.
A September 23 Senate hearing examined Flock's searchable plate-camera network, a wrongful arrest and competing oversight proposals. The hearing changed no law.
Jess & Morgs use live cameras and green screen in Deepfake to expose how a political interview image is made. Research adds limits to the show's concern about public trust.
Transluce links public scanning records to research agents probing data sites. The saved responses distinguish attempted exploits from a separate public-file download.
Meta removed a satirical Dutch video about its camera glasses from Instagram and Facebook under its bullying and harassment rules. The makers dispute the decision; the filmed employees' privacy concerns are also part of the case.
June congressional requests and a September DOJ warning show official concern about foreign influence, without a finding against ordinary AI opponents.
