Earlier this year in Beijing, a humanoid robot crossed a half-marathon finish line in a blistering 50 minutes, 26 seconds. The feat immediately lit up global headlines for shattering the human world record by almost seven minutes.Earlier this year in Beijing, a humanoid robot crossed a half-marathon finish line in a blistering 50 minutes, 26 seconds.

A research team led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed a novel integrated all-optical signal processor (OSP) to address the massive data transmission demands of next-generation AI systems, particularly for high-speed links between multiple data centers.A research team led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed a novel integrated all-optical signal processor (OSP) to address the massive data transmission demands of next-generation AI systems, particularly for high-speed links between multiple data centers.Engineering[#item_full_content]

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges for the free and open-source software (FOSS) community, a global network committed to creating and maintaining publicly available software that anyone can use, modify and share. Many AI models have been built on open-source software but do not reciprocate the transparency that the FOSS community’s principles require, leaving open-source developers uncertain about how these AI tools are using their code.The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges for the free and open-source software (FOSS) community, a global network committed to creating and maintaining publicly available software that anyone can use, modify and share.

The human brain is the ultimate supercomputer. It uses a highly branched and interconnected network of neurons and synapses to achieve massive computational power with extreme efficiency. In the age of AI, the brain, a paradigm of efficient neuromorphic computing, is providing inspiration for scientists.The human brain is the ultimate supercomputer.

Some technology and policy watchers were surprised when President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 2, 2026, establishing a framework for AI security. It seemed to move in a different direction from a December 2025 executive order that sought to create a “minimally burdensome” national framework for artificial intelligence and supersede state laws the administration saw as restrictive.Some technology and policy watchers were surprised when President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 2, 2026, establishing a framework for AI security.

A new AI system can convert social media discussion about a product into a new design that takes into account user needs more accurately than earlier approaches, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology.A new AI system can convert social media discussion about a product into a new design that takes into account user needs more accurately than earlier approaches, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

A Korean research team has developed the “intelligent core” of a 6G network capable of autonomous control through artificial intelligence (AI). This achievement marks the first realization of an “intelligent 6G core” in Korea and represents a significant milestone in advancing next-generation network infrastructure.A Korean research team has developed the “intelligent core” of a 6G network capable of autonomous control through artificial intelligence (AI).

The Social Robotics Group of the Robotics Lab at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has developed an AI-based methodology that allows a pet-type assistive robot to recognize the people it interacts with. The prototype, named Mía, is being tested in Madrid City Council day centers for the personalized affective stimulation of elderly people with cognitive decline.The Social Robotics Group of the Robotics Lab at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has developed an AI-based methodology that allows a pet-type assistive robot to recognize the people it interacts with.
