Google has removed some of its AI Overviews for specific health related searches after an investigation by the Guardian found that the feature was providing misleading and potentially dangerous medical information.  AI Overviews are generative AI summaries that appear at the top of Google Search results and are designed to give users quick snapshots of information. While Google has repeatedly described these summaries as helpful and reliable, the investigation raised serious

A viral Reddit post alleging widespread fraud inside a food delivery app briefly captured the internet’s attention before unraveling into a sophisticated AI-generated hoax.  The post, which appeared in the r/confession subreddit, was written by a user claiming to be a whistleblower developer for a major food delivery platform. The author alleged the company exploited both drivers and customers through manipulated algorithms, stolen tips, and deceptive fees, presenting the cl

Nvidia has reportedly begun requiring Chinese customers to pay the full amount upfront for its H200 artificial intelligence chips, reflecting heightened uncertainty around regulatory approvals in both China and the United States.  According to Reuters, the U.S. chipmaker has implemented unusually strict terms that leave no room for refunds, order cancellations, or configuration changes once a purchase is placed, even though Beijing has not yet formally approved shipments of

At CES 2026, Nvidia made a decisive move to position itself as the foundational platform for generalist robotics, unveiling a full stack of open AI models, simulation tools, and edge hardware designed to power robots that can reason, plan, and act across diverse real-world environments.  Much like Android became the default operating system for smartphones, Nvidia aims to provide the underlying intelligence layer for robotics as artificial intelligence moves out of the cloud

A recent incident involving DoorDash has drawn widespread attention after a driver allegedly used an AI-generated image to falsely claim a delivery, raising new concerns about how emerging technologies can be misused on gig economy platforms.  The situation came to light after Austin resident Byrne Hobart shared his experience on X, describing how a DoorDash driver accepted his order, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted what appeared to be an AI-generated photo

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is once again under scrutiny after repeatedly spreading misinformation about a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia, raising renewed concerns about the reliability of AI generated information during breaking news events.  The incident occurred during a festival marking the start of Hanukkah and has reportedly left at least 16 people dead, according to early reports. As users on X turned to Grok for information, the chatbot delivered a mix of

Google has officially launched Gemini 3 Flash, a faster and more cost efficient version of its Gemini 3 large language model, and is making it the default AI model across the Gemini app and Google Search’s AI Mode worldwide.  Built on the same foundation as Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash is designed to deliver strong reasoning and multimodal performance while prioritizing speed, lower latency, and affordability. The release comes six months after Gemini 2.5 Flash and reflects

Adobe is significantly expanding the capabilities of its Firefly platform, shifting AI video creation from simple generation toward precise, director-style control.  The latest update introduces prompt-based video editing, allowing users to refine specific elements within an AI-generated clip rather than starting over each time something looks wrong. This change addresses one of the most common frustrations with generative video tools, where even a minor unwanted detail prev

Shopping for groceries may be the next everyday task to disappear into a chat window as on December 8, OpenAI and Instacart announced a new grocery shopping experience built directly into ChatGPT, letting customers brainstorm meal ideas, generate a grocery list, browse items, and complete checkout without leaving the conversation.  Instead of hopping between recipe sites, notes apps, and a delivery service, the pitch is one continuous flow: ask what to cook, get suggestions,

Google and OpenAI escalated their rivalry at the forefront of artificial intelligence on the same day, with Google unveiling its most advanced AI research agent yet just as OpenAI released GPT 5.2, codenamed Garlic.  Google’s announcement centered on a major upgrade to Gemini Deep Research, which it described as a reimagined agent capable of long form reasoning, complex analysis, and enterprise grade investigation rather than simply generating research reports. The closely t

Google is expanding its experimentation with AI in news delivery, rolling out a pilot program that brings AI-powered article overviews to select publications’ Google News pages.  Participating outlets include major international publishers such as Der Spiegel, El País, Folha, Infobae, Kompas, The Guardian, The Times of India, The Washington Examiner, and The Washington Post, all of whom have agreed to test how AI might surface more context for readers before they click throu

Figma is making a clear push to keep designers inside its own ecosystem by rolling out new AI powered image editing tools that reduce the need to hop into Photoshop or other dedicated editors.  Announced on December 10, the update introduces fast, targeted edits that are meant to feel more like practical “fix it right here” controls than open ended text prompting, especially for the common moments when a design is almost done but an image needs one precise adjustment (TechCr

ChatGPT users who pay for premium tiers recently found themselves doing a double take when the chatbot began surfacing “app suggestions” mid conversation that looked a lot like ads.  Screenshots shared by Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscribers showed promotional style messages pointing to recognizable brands like Peloton and Target, prompting a blunt question: why does a paid AI service appear to be selling something while you are trying to work?. As complaints spread, OpenAI

Google’s latest Android 16 rollout is not just a bundle of new features, it is also a signal that Android updates are changing pace.  Instead of relying on one big release each year, Google says it is moving toward more frequent drops, starting with eligible Pixel devices receiving the first wave beginning Tuesday. The headline additions focus on reducing notification overload and making phones feel more personal, while also expanding safety and accessibility tools across th

At AWS re:Invent this week, Amazon Web Services signaled that the next phase of enterprise AI is less about picking a single “best” chatbot model and more about tailoring models to a company’s exact data, language, and use cases.  Coming right after AWS announced Nova Forge, a service for training custom versions of its Nova AI models, the company introduced new features in Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI meant to make custom large language model work faster and less

The generative AI boom is not only reshaping software and Silicon Valley balance sheets, it is also remaking the job market for the people building the physical backbone of AI.  As tech companies race to expand the data centers that train and run large AI models, construction workers who can help deliver these massive projects are seeing unusually large jumps in pay, along with benefits that were rare in the trades just a few years ago. In many regions, moving into data cent

James Cameron, long celebrated for advancing cinematic technology through groundbreaking visual effects, has drawn a sharp line between the innovations behind his “Avatar” films and the rise of generative artificial intelligence.  In a recent CBS Sunday Morning interview promoting “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” the director emphasized that while his movies often appear at the cutting edge of computer-driven filmmaking, the philosophy behind them is fundamentally at odds with curren
