Not long ago, self-driving cars felt like something out of a Spielberg film. Today, Waymo robotaxis are giving millions of rides in San Francisco and Phoenix without a human hand on the wheel. Aurora launched its first commercial self-driving truck service in Texas in May 2025. And at CES 2026, Uber announced plans to roll out its autonomous ride service in San Francisco before the end of the year. The technology has quietly crossed from science fiction into the morning commute. But how does it actually work? What stops a car traveling at 100 km/h from mistaking a plastic bag…
Let’s be honest — the question isn’t really if AI will replace certain jobs anymore. It’s which ones, how fast, and what happens to the people doing them. The numbers coming out in 2025 and early 2026 are hard to ignore. A Resume.org survey found that nearly 3 in 10 companies have already replaced workers with AI — and by the end of 2026, 37% expect to have done so. A separate MIT study found that AI can already replace 11.7% of the entire U.S. workforce, covering roles across finance, healthcare, logistics, and office administration. That’s not a future prediction.…
We carry our entire lives in our pockets — bank accounts, private messages, work emails, personal photos. That makes your smartphone one of the most valuable targets for cybercriminals today. And the scary part? A 2025 cybersecurity report found that nearly 1 in 5 mobile devices had some form of malware installed. Most people had no idea. The good news is that hackers almost always leave clues. Here are 10 signs you should never ignore. 1. Your Battery Is Draining Way Too Fast If you’re charging your phone twice a day without doing anything different, pay attention. Malware running quietly…
Amazon is broadening the reach of its artificial intelligence healthcare assistant, making it available directly on its main website and mobile app. The feature, known as Health AI, was previously limited to users of One Medical, the healthcare provider Amazon purchased in 2023 for $3.9 billion. By integrating the assistant into its primary platform, Amazon aims to make digital health guidance more accessible to a wider audience. Health AI functions as a virtual health companion designed to answer medical questions, help users understand their health data, and assist with everyday healthcare tasks. The system can explain lab reports, schedule appointments,…
Google has introduced a range of new artificial intelligence features powered by its Gemini model, bringing smarter tools to Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. These updates aim to help users work more efficiently by allowing them to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets directly within Google Workspace using information from their existing files, emails, and chats. One of the most notable additions appears in Google Docs. A new feature called “Help me create” allows users to describe what they want to build, and Gemini will generate a structured first draft based on that description. The AI can pull relevant details from…
Security agencies in the Netherlands have issued a warning about a widespread cyber campaign aimed at users of popular messaging apps such as Signal and WhatsApp. According to the Dutch Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) and the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), the attacks are believed to be carried out by Russian state-linked hackers and are affecting individuals around the world. The campaign reportedly focuses on high-profile targets including government officials, military personnel, journalists, and other individuals who rely on secure communication platforms. Instead of using traditional malware, the attackers are primarily relying on phishing and social engineering…
X, Elon Musk’s social platform formerly known as Twitter, is expanding its ecosystem with a new payments service called X Money, and it’s taking an unusual approach to invite early users. Instead of traditional beta invitations, actor William Shatner teamed up with Musk to offer access to the service through a charity auction. Participants could secure a beta invite by donating $1,000 to Shatner’s charity supporting children and veterans. Shatner has been actively sharing details about X Money on the platform, highlighting how users could participate in the auction. Musk also promoted the initiative by resharing Shatner’s posts, signaling the…
OpenAI is making a notable shift in how ChatGPT interacts with users. Its newest update, GPT-5.3 Instant, aims to reduce the overly cautious, condescending tone that many users found frustrating in previous versions. Gone are the constant reassurances like “Take a breath” or “You’re not broken,” phrases that have become infamous for their “cringe factor” online. According to OpenAI, the GPT-5.3 Instant update emphasizes conversational quality over benchmark scores. The improvements focus on tone, relevance, and flow, creating responses that feel more natural without the preachy disclaimers that annoyed users of GPT-5.2. On social media, the company explained that this…
Smart glasses and other wearable tech with built-in cameras pose a growing privacy concern, largely because they often resemble regular eyewear, making it easy to be recorded without knowing. To address this, developer Yves Jeanrenaud has created a new Android app called Nearby Glasses, which alerts users when someone nearby is wearing smart glasses or other Bluetooth-enabled recording devices. The app constantly scans for Bluetooth signals emitted by devices such as Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses and Snap’s Spectacles. When it detects a nearby signal from these devices, it immediately sends an alert to the user, allowing them to be aware…
Instagram is introducing a new feature that will alert parents if their teenagers repeatedly search for terms linked to suicide or self-harm. The company announced the update on Thursday, stating that the notifications will start rolling out in the coming weeks to families using Instagram’s parental supervision tools. Although Instagram already blocks searches for harmful content, these new alerts aim to keep parents informed if their teen shows repeated interest in such topics. Searches that could trigger notifications include terms like “suicide” or “self-harm,” as well as phrases suggesting that a teen may be at risk of hurting themselves. Parents…
