Geoffrey Hinton warned that AI could trigger massive unemployment as tech firms invest trillions in data centres and chips. He said, "these guys are really betting on AI replacing a lot of workers." Many companies now use this technology to do work cheaper, potentially leaving millions of people without jobs.
A recent Bosch roundtable showed that 95% of enterprise generative-AI pilots delivered no measurable impact. Moderator Miloni Bhatt noted that only 5% scaled to production. Indian firms also struggle, as many allocate less than 10% of IT budgets to AI. Leaders said success depends on clean data and clear business ownership.
Aston Martin unveiled the Valen in Monterey, California, as the world’s most powerful front-engined production car. This V12 supercar packs 850bhp and 1,000Nm of torque.

India has become one of the fastest growing markets for Google Pixel phones. While Google says you should ask more of your phone, the devices remain rare outside tech circles. Analyst Yogesh Brar said, "Those felt like developer blueprints rather than consumer devices, but they had a cult-like following."
A Bengaluru engineer built an AI-powered app to detect potholes and identify responsible contractors. Using a dashcam, GPS, and an accelerometer, the system tracks road defects during his daily commute. Sen said he used Codex to develop the app, which checks 2,900 government contracts to find who must fix roads.
Kaspersky researchers said SilverFox hackers use fake Claude apps to target companies across Asia. The group started these attacks in December 2025, hitting sectors like manufacturing and finance. “SilverFox is one of the most active threat groups in the whole APAC region,” said researcher Ye Jin.

Many large asset managers still hold positions in semiconductor companies, as investors now view artificial intelligence as a broad, growing ecosystem.
A report supporting Australia’s under-16 social media ban contained AI-made errors. The ACCS initially denied using AI, but later admitted it helped rewrite paragraphs. The Guardian found six references with fake links and mismatched details. An ACCS spokesperson said, "I apologize if tn inadvertent error," despite the ongoing issues.
Anthropic released more information about its Claude AI watermarking after user confusion. The company said, “A watermark can only determine that Claude was likely involved with the content at some point.” This system uses patterns rather than hidden characters. It does not change the quality, speed, or price of models.
Engineers developed a drone called SonicFly that tracks other drones by listening to their rotor sounds. It works without GPS or cameras, using a four-microphone array to capture acoustic signatures. During outdoor tests, the system successfully followed targets with an average error of 1.34 metres, showing how machines can navigate using sound.
A new McAfee study found that AI tools can track your location from social media photos without GPS data. Models like Qwen 3 VL 30B identified the correct city and country 91 per cent of the time. Experts said, "This can help scammers move from generic phishing to more personalised fraud."
