Humanoid robot sports began with the first World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing in 2025. Their purpose was to test robots’ balance, movement, coordination and autonomy. The events have now expanded to include racing, football, boxing and practical tasks linked to factories, hotels and emergency response. Comparing robots with Usain Bolt is useful only as an […]

Artificial-intelligence “swarms” are groups of AI agents working together online. They could spread misinformation, attack reputations and create the false impression that “everyone” supports a particular view. Their speed and coordination may make such campaigns difficult to detect. These swarms can also change their strategy while operating. If one person or public figure appears vulnerable,
We do not yet have one vaccine that prevents or cures every cancer. But Moderna and Merck’s personalised mRNA treatment has shown encouraging success against high-risk melanoma after surgery. It is designed to prevent the disease from returning, rather than to remove an existing tumour. Doctors study each patient’s tumour and prepare a special mRNA treatment using its

Slack has just launched “Slack Code,” a feature that turns software development into a group activity inside the very chat app where teams already talk. Instead of one engineer working alone with an AI tool, anyone—product managers, designers, even non-technical staff—can join a shared “code channel” where AI agents draft code, show live previews, and iterate
A humanoid robot is a machine built to look and move like a human, with arms, hands and legs. Powered by artificial intelligence, it can learn, make decisions and perform physical tasks. Unitree’s dramatic Shanghai listing has made humanoids the latest symbol of the global AI race. Its shares closed 460% above the IPO price. Unitree became a leading
More than 1,000 employees from leading AI companies recently asked governments to create a way to slow down the development of powerful AI systems. Their concern is simple: AI is moving faster than safety checks, laws and public understanding. They want development to be paced when the risks become too high. The Hugging Face incident showed why this
Meta is on trial in Oakland, with 29 U.S. states accusing it of deliberately designing Facebook and Instagram to addict children — using infinite scroll, algorithmic feeds, and push notifications to keep young users hooked for hours. Internal documents and whistleblower testimony suggest the company knew these features could harm mental health but deployed them anyway, prioritizing
AI’s trust problem comes from exaggerated promises, opaque decisions, job and privacy fears, deepfakes and security failures. The public also feels that companies are moving faster than governments and society can respond. When AI leaders warn about dangers while building more powerful systems, people see contradiction rather than responsibility. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says marketing cannot repair this
Honor has launched the world’s first “robot phone” with a motorised titanium camera arm that pops out and follows people or objects on its own. Priced at $1,400–$1,820 in China, it pairs a 200MP camera on a tiny robotic gimbal with AI that decides where to point. Unlike normal phones, this one hides a four-joint titanium

The concept turns your AI conversation history into a mirror for self-reflection. By exporting months or years of chat logs and feeding them back into an AI with a specific audit prompt, you let pattern-recognition algorithms identify contradictions between your stated values and actual attention. It’s essentially using AI as an external, data-driven coach that has witnessed
OpenAI’s new Ultrafast tier shows that frontier AI is competing not only on intelligence, but also on speed. Powered by Cerebras, GPT-5.6 Sol is claimed to deliver up to 750 tokens a second — nearly 14 times faster than standard processing. It is currently an invite-only API preview aimed at time-sensitive business tasks. Such speed could help cybersecurity teams,
