Artificial Intelligence

What if AI could not just give you step-by-step instructions but actually perform those steps for you? A new device called Violoop is designed to follow your commands and handle the most boring, repetitive work tasks.

Meta just wrapped up its Connect event, and one product that caught my eye was a little gadget in Mark Zuckerberg's hand – small enough to fit on a keychain. It's coming this December, but don't wait up.

Chinese tech giant Huawei has made a bold move in the AI "race," announcing that its next-gen AI chip to rival Nvidia will be out as early as the start of 2027. This could release China from the restrictions the US has imposed on its AI development.

The PiLY is an anti-distraction fitness tracker that can capture voice notes and record meetings – which you can then have transcribed and summarized to digest later. It's perfect for thinking on your feet.

Engineers used adversarial inverse reinforcement learning to train robots to respond dynamically to uneven terrain and loss of limbs, a training system transferrable to dissimilar robots. And they did so using a stick insect as a role model.

I have issues with AI in general, but the biggest gripe is with being forced to interact with the LLM from Google, a company with enough money and talented staff to do something great – but has instead produced a model the AI hates too.

Can you imagine walking into an open-plan office on a busy weekday, seeing people at their desks – and hearing practically nothing? Like not even the staccato rhythm of fingers on a keyboard? That might be where AI-powered technologies lead us.

One of AI's many promises is that it will help us do everything better. Work faster, research more seamlessly, and perhaps be more financially prudent? Well, not exactly. Research suggests that AI-assisted shopping may end up making you spend more.

This cute little robot duck isn't actually a toy. It's actually a platform for budding roboticists to train on and develop skills. But heck, this might be the most fun design for a hackable machine we've seen yet.

AI-generated content, which has proliferated the internet, has become so good that it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish, raising transparency and security concerns. To address this, Claude has begun marking its output for detection.

Insta360 is calling the X6 the biggest leap in its X-series yet, bringing 8K50fps 360-degree video, larger sensors, AI-powered editing that works while charging, longer battery life, built-in storage, and tougher replaceable lenses.

AI-equipped helicopters went on the offensive off the islands of Hawaii as the US Navy and Lockheed Martin set two modified Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to hunt submarines using a new AI sonar system as part of the RIMPAC 2026 naval exercises.
