Artificial intelligence is increasingly moving beyond cloud data centers and into cameras, drones, vehicles, industrial machines, aerospace systems, and other devices that must make decisions locally. This shift toward edge AI promises lower latency, greater privacy, reduced dependence on network connectivity, and potentially lower operating costs. Yet deploying sophisticated AI models onto specialized hardware remains one of the industry's most persistent engineering challenges. Lola Vision...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from a software development story into a broader question of public safety, national security and government oversight. As frontier AI systems become more capable of coding, conducting research, operating digital tools and assisting with complex tasks, concerns about how those capabilities could be misused are becoming increasingly prominent. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has now added his voice to that debate, arguing that voluntary self-regulation...

Google’s completed talent deal with AI startup Mechanize marks a significant shift in the technology industry’s race toward autonomous artificial intelligence. The transaction, valued at more than US$1.5 billion according to previously reported deal discussions, brings Mechanize co-founder Tamay Besiroglu and more than a dozen former employees into Google DeepMind, while the final financial terms have not been publicly disclosed. The significance of the deal extends beyond the acquisition of...
