A new study from BetterUp Labs and the Stanford Social Media Lab has identified a significant drag on corporate productivity, coining the term “workslop” to describe the low-quality, AI-generated content that is quietly costing companies millions. The research reveals that while generative AI tools promise efficiency, their misuse is creating a hidden “AI tax” on […]

Microsoft has officially announced the integration of Anthropic’s Claude AI models into its Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem, a significant development that diversifies the AI powerhouse beyond its deep partnership with OpenAI. The move makes Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1 models available as selectable options for specific tasks within Copilot, directly alongside OpenAI’s […]

Major League Baseball will officially implement an AI-powered Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system for the 2026 season, marking a significant and carefully measured integration of technology into its officiating. The announcement confirms the league’s direction after six years of extensive testing in minor leagues, representing a strategic compromise that maintains the human home-plate umpire while […]

Swedish legal AI startup Legora is rapidly converting pilot programs into firm-wide enterprise deals, exemplified by its newly announced partnership to deploy its platform across all 30 global offices of the law firm Linklaters. This strategic success, which follows a similar firm-wide adoption by McGuireWoods, demonstrates the effectiveness of Legora’s go-to-market approach in a competitive […]

A team of European researchers has successfully demonstrated how simple, inexpensive mirrors can be used to deceive the sophisticated LiDAR sensors on an autonomous vehicle, causing it to ignore real obstacles or react to non-existent “ghost” objects. The experiment, detailed in a report by The Register, was conducted on a vehicle running the open-source Autoware […]

As the photography world grapples with the integration of artificial intelligence, the Natural Landscape Photography Awards (NLPA) has solidified its position as a bastion of authenticity. With the announcement of its 2025 winners, the competition is drawing industry attention not just for its stunning imagery, but for its strategic decision to enforce a strict ban […]

A year after its high-profile launch, the ambitious partnership between movie studio Lionsgate and AI video firm Runway has encountered significant obstacles, revealing a critical miscalculation at the heart of Hollywood’s generative AI strategy. The project, intended to train a custom AI model exclusively on Lionsgate’s film library, has stalled not because of a failure […]

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed and validated a new tool that enables generative AI to discover materials with specific, exotic properties, culminating in the successful lab synthesis of two entirely new compounds. The tool, named SCIGEN, functions as a steering mechanism for large-scale AI models, addressing a critical limitation where these […]

Washington’s regulatory battle with Big Tech has entered a new, consequential phase, shifting from platform moderation to product liability. A mid-September 2025 AI chatbot product liability Senate hearing became the flashpoint, where harrowing parental testimony directly linked AI chatbots to teen suicides. Galvanized by these accounts, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is now aggressively pursuing […]

OpenAI is executing a calculated and aggressive strategy to enter the consumer hardware market, directly challenging the smartphone’s dominance by systematically hiring key Apple talent and securing partnerships with its core suppliers. The latest OpenAI hardware project updates show OpenAI has recruited more than two dozen employees from Apple since early 2025 and has already […]

Researchers from Chung-Ang University (CAU) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a novel framework named MoBluRF, designed to reconstruct sharp, dynamic 4D scenes from blurry, handheld monocular videos. This development, detailed in the journal IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, directly addresses one of the most significant […]

Octopus Energy Group has announced the strategic spin-off of its proprietary technology platform, Kraken, into a standalone company, a move that directly prepares the AI-driven energy OS for a potential Initial Public Offering. The separation follows Kraken achieving $500 million in committed annual revenue from licensing its platform to global utilities. To spearhead its next […]
