Marc Lore’s Wonder is pushing a bold idea for the future of food: using AI to let almost anyone create and launch a restaurant brand from a single prompt. Lore, the e-commerce entrepreneur known for Jet.com and his time leading Walmart U.S. eCommerce, recently described Wonder Create as a tool that could allow food entrepreneurs, influencers, trainers, nonprofits, entertainment brands, or even families to build a restaurant concept in under a minute. Instead of needing to ren

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pushing back against growing fears that artificial intelligence will destroy jobs, arguing instead that AI is creating a large new wave of work. Speaking at a Milken Institute event with MSNBC’s Becky Quick, Huang said AI should be seen as a job creator and a major opportunity for the United States to rebuild its industrial strength. His comments come at a time when many workers, especially younger and entry-level employees, are worried about how qu

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of Formula One’s future, changing how teams compete, operate, and promote themselves in one of the world’s most technology-driven sports. Formula One has always depended on speed, engineering, and data, but AI is now becoming a bigger part of both on-track performance and off-track business strategy. With eight new AI partnerships signed in the past six months alone, the sport is showing how quickly artificial intelligence is m

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in modern economies, governments and businesses alike are confronting a growing challenge: how to balance innovation with control. Across the United Kingdom and Europe, concerns over dependence on foreign AI providers—particularly those based in the United States—are accelerating efforts to establish what is increasingly referred to as “digital sovereignty.” Recent developments, ranging from corporate contingency planning to

Elon Musk has once again sparked widespread debate about the future of work, money, and retirement, arguing that rapid advances in artificial intelligence will soon make traditional financial planning for old age largely unnecessary. In a resurfaced interview on the Moonshots with Peter Diamandis podcast, Musk suggested that people will not need to “worry about squirreling money away for retirement in 10 or 20 years,” claiming that in the near future, “it won’t matter.” He de

Canada is preparing to bring artificial intelligence into public weather forecasting in a major step toward faster and more accurate predictions. Environment and Climate Change Canada plans to launch a new hybrid forecasting model this spring, combining AI with traditional physics-based weather models. The goal is to strengthen public safety, improve emergency readiness, and give Canadians more time to prepare for severe weather events such as winter storms, heat waves, atmos

A new report developed through consultations with young people across Canada is calling on governments to regulate AI chatbots more strictly, warning that many systems are intentionally designed to be addictive and emotionally manipulative. Published by McGill University’s Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, the report is based on input from around 100 participants aged 17 to 23 who took part in four consultation events between November 2025 and March 2026. The findin

Artificial intelligence is increasingly moving from computer screens into real-world kitchens, and a London, Ontario company is showing how quickly that shift is happening. Appetronix, an automation company focused on robotic food service, has developed a fully autonomous pizza-making machine that uses AI-driven dispensing technology to prepare fresh meals in places where traditional kitchens may not be practical. The company’s goal is to bring hot, made-to-order food into lo

Meta is reportedly developing an AI version of Mark Zuckerberg that could interact with employees, answer questions, give feedback, and potentially attend meetings in his place. The digital clone is said to be trained on Zuckerberg’s voice, image, mannerisms, tone, and years of public statements so employees can still feel connected to the founder even when he is not physically present. For a company with nearly 79,000 workers across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the job search, but not always in the way people expected. While AI tools can help job seekers create stronger resumes and cover letters more quickly, employers are finding that the same technology is making hiring slower, noisier, and harder to manage. What was supposed to streamline recruiting has instead created a surge of polished, keyword rich applications that often look impressive on paper but do not always reflect a candidate’s rea

New research is raising a striking possibility in artificial intelligence: emotionally charged conversations may shape how AI systems behave, even if those systems do not literally feel emotions. Across recent commentary and research from Anthropic, experts argue that large language models can develop internal representations of emotion concepts that influence their decisions, preferences, and outputs. This does not mean chatbots experience emotions the way humans do, but it

Canada is preparing to launch a new hybrid weather forecasting model that combines artificial intelligence with traditional forecasting methods, a move that could significantly improve how the country predicts severe weather. Environment and Climate Change Canada says the new system will begin rolling out this spring and is designed to give Canadians earlier and more accurate warnings when major weather events are approaching. At a time when the country is experiencing more e

Microsoft’s latest expansion in Ontario shows how the race to build artificial intelligence infrastructure is becoming just as much about economic growth and public trust as it is about technology. As part of its previously announced $19 billion commitment to Canada, Microsoft is expanding its cloud and AI infrastructure across Ontario in a move expected to strengthen the province’s computing capacity, reinforce its leadership in the digital economy, and support 1,250 jobs. T

The publishing world is facing a growing problem that feels both immediate and unsettling: books suspected of being written with artificial intelligence are already slipping into the market, and many in the industry are not confident they can stop it. That anxiety exploded with the controversy surrounding Shy Girl , a horror novel by Mia Ballard that was first self published in February 2025, later released in the UK in November 2025, and then set for a US publication before

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace, but the latest wave of reporting suggests the biggest story is not mass unemployment just yet. Instead, businesses and economists are describing a more uneven transition, one in which productivity gains are arriving quickly, experienced AI users are pulling ahead, and companies are beginning to rethink how many workers they actually need. Across research, executive commentary, and economic analysis, a new picture is emerging

Atlassian, the Australian software company behind widely used collaboration tools like Jira, Confluence, and Trello, has announced a major restructuring that will eliminate about 1,600 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce. The layoffs are part of a broader effort by the company to shift its strategy toward artificial intelligence and strengthen its enterprise sales capabilities. While the move reflects a growing trend across the technology industry, it has sparked debate

The growing clash between artificial intelligence and the publishing world came sharply into focus at this year’s London Book Fair, where thousands of writers united to protest the use of copyrighted books in AI training without permission or payment. Their protest took the form of an unusual publication titled Don’t Steal This Book , an “empty” book containing only the names of about 10,000 contributing authors. That striking format was meant to send a warning about what cou

Wikipedia recently marked its 25th anniversary, but the milestone arrives at a complicated moment for one of the internet’s most influential platforms. Launched on January 15, 2001, Wikipedia began as an experiment in open collaboration, a free online encyclopedia that anyone could edit. What started as a side project to support the more formal Nupedia quickly eclipsed its predecessor. By allowing users to bypass strict editorial review and contribute directly, Wikipedia rapi

A long-standing assumption of online life is that pseudonyms provide a workable layer of protection: if you avoid posting your real name, you can participate in sensitive discussions, ask honest questions, or share opinions without immediately tying your identity to your words. New research suggests that comfort may be fading fast. A study from researchers affiliated with ETH Zurich and Anthropic argues that modern large language models (LLMs) can “strip” pseudonymity at scal

Canada’s federal government is pressing OpenAI for answers and concrete safety changes after the Feb. 10 mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., a tragedy in which police say eight people were killed, including six at a secondary school. The case has intensified questions about what responsibility AI companies have when users post, or appear to post, content signaling real-world violence, and how quickly platforms should alert law enforcement. At the centre of the scrutiny is C
