Artificial General Intelligence, AGI, has always been the holy grail of AI but unfortunately it has still not been able to get over the mirage threshold. Big AI companies once promised that scaling up large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT would quickly lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI as smart as humans. But leaders like […]

Google is supercharging Chrome with Gemini AI upgrades, turning the world's top browser into an intelligent co-pilot. No need to switch apps or tabs—Gemini now embeds deeply, handling tasks autonomously while respecting user control. Auto Browse brings true agentic browsing: it navigates sites, clicks links, fills forms, and completes multi-step actions like booking flights or

The pace and expanse of AI is breathtaking. Moltbot, once called Clawdbot, is an open-source AI helper that's blowing up online. It runs right on your phone or computer and links up with apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and iMessage. Created by Peter Steinberger last December, it shines in cool demos like bargaining for a

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, drops a bombshell essay titled "The Adolescence of Technology." He argues AI is surging into a volatile teenage phase —raw power without maturity. Picture a "country of geniuses locked in a data center": it could unlock cures for diseases and endless abundance, but unchecked, it risks unleashing bioterrorism, killer drones,

Moonshots have remained Elon Musk’s DNA for quite a long time now. The latest has been from Davos, when he painted a future where humanoid robots like Tesla's Optimus outnumber humans. He predicts these bots will handle factory jobs first, then "saturate all human needs" by decade's end—think cooking, cleaning, and more. Already, Optimus manages

Runway's Gen-4.5 model has shattered expectations, with over 90% of participants in a study unable to distinguish its AI-generated image-to-video clips from real footage—especially tricky nature scenes and buildings fooled viewers most. Topping text-to-video benchmarks, this model delivers hyper-realistic physics, fluid motion, and stunning details like flowing liquids or expressive faces, now rolling out to

Amazon is gearing up for its second major layoff wave as early as next week, targeting around 16,000 corporate jobs to hit CEO Andy Jassy's goal of slashing 30,000 roles overall. This follows 14,000 cuts in October 2025, affecting teams in AWS, retail, Prime Video, and HR, marking the largest workforce reduction in the company's

Mira Murati's AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab (TML), founded in 2025 by former OpenAI leaders, fell apart last week. Key executives clashed with Murati over direction and control, leading to firings and mass exits to OpenAI. Nine staffers left or got offers, amid failed Meta buyout talks and fundraising struggles at a $50B goal. Behind

Anthropic has unveiled Claude's "Constitution," a groundbreaking document that doesn't just dictate rules for its AI— it speaks directly to Claude, outlining a clear priority: safety first, then ethics, compliance, and user helpfulness. Unlike rigid lists of dos and don'ts, this philosophy-driven guide explains the "why" behind each principle, empowering Claude to apply values wisely

The World Economic Forum in Davos this week spotlighted AI as the dominant force reshaping economies and societies, with top leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella dominating discussions. Amodei warned against U.S. President Trump's policy easing AI chip sales to China, comparing it to "selling nuclear weapons to

Claude Code is the “software magician” igniting the selfware revolution—software you build yourself with AI, not buy from vendors. It empowers non‑coders to create complex tools like MRI viewers or automation scripts just by describing needs, turning users into instant builders. Markets are reeling: the Morgan Stanley SaaS index is down 15% YTD, with Intuit,
