Waymo has announced a voluntary software recall after the company’s autonomous robotaxis were recorded and reported in at least a dozen incidents involving illegally passing stopped school buses with flashing lights and an extended STOP sign. Such behavior is a serious traffic violation in the U.S. and poses a real danger to children.
A new investigation reveals the scale of China’s use of artificial intelligence in nationwide surveillance systems. According to the report, algorithms analyze citizens’ behavior, predict the likelihood of protests, strengthen censorship, and merge data from multiple institutions into one extensive model of social control.
Researchers in South Korea have developed a new AI model that can accurately assess bone density — normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis — using nothing more than a standard chest X-ray (CXR). The breakthrough could pave the way for a cheaper, widely accessible screening method without the need for expensive densitometry exams.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is increasing its scrutiny of “wellness wearable” manufacturers, warning that functions such as blood-pressure monitoring may classify these devices as medical equipment. For companies like WHOOP, this means they must obtain formal authorization — otherwise they risk penalties and losing access to the market.
According to reports, ChatGPT users — including those paying for the more expensive Pro tier — have started seeing “app suggestions” inside the app, which many interpret as ads. Critics argue this is the first step toward monetizing the AI interface.
Facing escalating competition in the artificial intelligence sector, OpenAI has internally declared a “code red.” This means the company is now focusing exclusively on improving ChatGPT, putting on hold plans related to advertising, shopping assistants, and health-oriented projects.
NVIDIA has confirmed that the widely publicized investment agreement with OpenAI — worth up to $100 billion and announced in early autumn — has still not been finalized. The revelation cooled market enthusiasm and raised new questions about the realism of the AI sector’s grand promises.
IBM’s CEO warns that the massive spending by tech companies on AI data centers may never pay off. In an interview on the “Decoder” podcast, Arvind Krishna estimated that the cost of today’s infrastructure is so high that a realistic path to profitability at current prices is unlikely.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first-ever eyeglasses designed to slow the progression of childhood myopia. This may be a breakthrough in treating a condition that affects more than one-third of children in the United States.
