Waymo, the self-driving car company owned by Google’s parent Alphabet, plans to start fully driverless taxi services in Tokyo in 2027. This will be its first commercial robotaxi operation in Asia, running without any safety driver behind the wheel. The move marks a major step in Waymo’s global expansion beyond the U.S. Waymo robotaxis are Level 4 autonomous
The call for a slowdown in the race to build powerful AI is losing support. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has argued for greater caution, but Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has rejected the idea of a coordinated pause. He believes AI companies should compete while independently building safety into their systems. Zuckerberg says every AI company already has its
Diogo Almeida, the researcher who helped build the methods behind ChatGPT, has launched a new kind of AI called Jev from his startup TypeSafe. Unlike chatbots, Jev does not generate text at all; it makes preset decisions inside software with confidence scores attached. Jev is built for speed and low cost: it responds in 70–500 milliseconds
The argument over AI is no longer only about technology. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has asked frontier companies to slow down, allow independent safety checks and give governments time to prepare. Sam Altman, Elon Musk and other technology leaders have supported parts of this proposal. But the proposal also calls for tighter restrictions on advanced chips and
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged the AI industry to “pace the frontier” — slowing capability gains so safety research can catch up, without halting progress. His three-step plan seeks embedded third‑party evaluators inside labs, common safety standards among democratic nations, and eventual coordination even with authoritarian governments. But outside Silicon Valley, the debate is shifting from “how fast” to
Three of the world’s most powerful AI leaders—Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and xAI’s Elon Musk—have publicly agreed that the breakneck speed of AI development must be slowed. This rare unity follows Anthropic’s disclosure that its chatbot Claude was misused for bioweapons research, espionage, and large-scale fraud, raising alarms that “swarms of rogue AI agents”
Modern notetaking began with paper notebooks, but the digital shift came with apps such as Microsoft OneNote and Evernote in the 2000s. Later, Notion, Google Keep, Apple Notes and Microsoft’s AI tools turned notes into searchable, shareable workspaces. These services succeeded because they moved notetaking from simple typing to cloud storage, collaboration and automatic organisation. The next step
After days of extinction-level warnings from AI researchers, Anthropic has released a 150-plus-page threat report that reads less like reassurance and more like evidence that misuse is already happening at scale. Between December 2025 and August 2026, it disrupted malicious use of Claude across seven areas: cyber operations, influence campaigns, surveillance, scams, biological misuse, conventional weapons development, and
Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon has resigned, warning that leading AI companies are “gambling with our lives” by racing towards self-improving artificial intelligence. He said many people building these systems seriously believe that AI could threaten humanity by the end of this decade. The warning became far more serious after Evan Hubinger, Anthropos’s Alignment Science lead, publicly said
OpenAI says an unreleased internal model — stronger than GPT-6 Astra—produced a proof that 3D Navier–Stokes flows can form a finite-time singularity, a Millennium Prize problem. The claim is big, but it remains a proposed solution until independent mathematicians verify the proof. The method was not a single chatbot answer. OpenAI says about 10,000 AI

The AI race has no single winner; leadership shifts depending on whether you measure raw model capability, enterprise adoption, user scale, or geopolitical reach. In September 2026, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta are trading model releases every few weeks, with benchmarks showing photo-finish margins rather than clear knockouts. On capability, Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 and
