Amazon is pushing deeper into warehouse automation with a new version of its Proteus robot, a machine designed to respond to workers using normal conversational language. Instead of needing technical commands or a programming interface, employees can simply tell the robot what needs to be moved, and Proteus will figure out the priority, route, and timing. The robot was introduced at Amazon’s Delivering the Future event in England, showing how quickly AI-powered machines are b

Meta and Microsoft are the latest major technology companies to show how deeply artificial intelligence is reshaping the industry. Meta announced that it will cut about 8,000 workers, which is around 10 percent of its workforce, as the company continues pouring money into AI infrastructure and expensive AI talent. The cuts are being presented as part of a larger effort to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and create more room for new investments in other parts of the business

Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it can already perform work equal to nearly 12% of the U.S. labor market, according to a new set of studies from MIT. Using a large scale simulation model called the Iceberg Index, researchers created a digital twin of the American workforce by mapping 151 million workers, their occupations, and more than 32,000 skills against what today’s AI tools can already do. The result shows that current systems have the technica

OpenAI is urging the United States government to dramatically expand its electricity generation, warning that without a massive increase in power supply, America risks losing its lead in artificial intelligence to China. In a letter to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the company called for the construction of 100 gigawatts of new energy capacity each year, nearly double the total that the U.S. added in 2024, to meet the growing demands of AI infrastru
