The Pentagon, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, issued a stark ultimatum to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on February 24, 2026, demanding the removal of Claude AI’s safeguards against autonomous weapons without human oversight and bulk surveillance of U.S. citizens by Friday, February 27, at 5 p.m. Anthropic’s Claude is currently the only AI model […]

OpenAI’s first hardware venture, a $200-$300 smart speaker co-designed with Jony Ive, promises to redefine home AI. What it is armed with is really fascinating; a built-in camera for environmental awareness, facial recognition for seamless purchases, and proactive “nudges” like suggesting actions based on observed surroundings or calendars. Slated for early 2027 shipment after OpenAI’s

DJ Sampath, Cisco’s SVP of AI Software and Platform, outlines a practical multi-model workflow that separates idea generation from critique, using tools like Cursor to build persistent knowledge bases from markdown files. He also integrates AI with calendars for context-aware prep and deploys coding agents for automating briefs and analysis, turning episodic AI use into

AI isn’t just a tool anymore—it’s becoming a “digital teammate” that works alongside humans, tackling routine jobs to free us for bigger thinking. At Cisco’s recent AI Summit, SVP DJ Sampath explained how these smart agents plan, reason, and fix issues autonomously, like resolving network outages without waiting for a human. Companies are already seeing

Peter Steinberger, creator of the viral open-source AI agent OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI to build user-friendly agents for everyone, including non-techies. OpenClaw started as a fun project called ClawdBot in late 2025, renamed after Anthropic sent a cease-and-desist over its Claude ties and security worries. It exploded in popularity by early 2026 for autonomously handling

India’s AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi aimed for unity among global tech leaders, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei turned a group photo with PM Narendra Modi into a viral meme by refusing to hold hands. Modi linked arms with Altman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, expecting a chain,

Waymo’s robotaxis operate in cities like San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, and Miami, planning for over 10 more in 2026 including Houston and Orlando. They use about 70 remote agents — half in the US and half in the Philippines—to suggest routes in tricky situations without steering or driving the vehicles. The onboard

Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet series has rapidly evolved, with Sonnet 4.6 marking the latest milestone released just weeks after Opus 4.6. Building on predecessors like Sonnet 4.5—which scored 77.2% on SWE-Bench—this model delivers a full upgrade in coding, computer use, and agentic tasks, becoming the default for Free and Pro users on Claude.ai. Developers now prefer

Waymo’s journey began in 2009 as Google’s self-driving car project, evolving through DARPA challenges and early tests in California and Arizona. By 2018, it launched Waymo One, the first commercial robotaxi service in Phoenix using Jaguar I-Pace vehicles, marking a shift from testing to paid rides amid industry milestones like Cruise’s beta and Uber’s setbacks.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 just upended particle physics, exposing a “settled” answer as wrong and crafting the right one—complete with a formal proof—in a blistering 12 hours. This isn’t hype; it’s a preprint where the AI tackled a thorny problem humans thought solved, verified by heavyweights from Harvard, Cambridge, and Princeton. Skeptics yelling “AI can’t think!” are

Money should go where the mouth is and SoftBank has clearly understood this investment strategy. It has started making moves in tune with the growth of the AI industry. SoftBank Group Corp. has transformed its portfolio, with AI-related holdings surging from 18% of net asset value three years ago to over 60% today, fueled by
