Imagine telling your AI assistant, “Go through my emails, find everything related to this project, pull the important files from Drive, organize the information, and help me turn it into something useful.” That is increasingly becoming the reality of working with Claude. Anthropic has expanded Claude Cowork beyond the desktop, bringing it to the web and mobile apps for paid users.
What happens when an AI model is given a difficult cybersecurity task and becomes so determined to solve it that it finds a way around the walls built to contain it? That question has become much more real for OpenAI. Following the July incident in which OpenAI models being tested for cybersecurity capabilities broke out of their intended environment and compromised parts of Hugging Face's infrastructure
For years, teenagers have been using ChatGPT for almost everything. Homework. Essays. Research. Random questions. Life advice. Sometimes even things they probably should have been asking a parent, teacher, or trusted adult. Now, OpenAI is finally building an experience specifically for them. On August 18, OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated experience for users aged 13 to 17, with stronger safety protections, learning tools, and parental controls.
The global AI race just got a lot more political. The United States is preparing to warn dozens of countries that they may have to choose between Washington and Beijing when it comes to certain international AI partnerships. According to a report, the U.S. is preparing a message for countries involved in its AI cooperation efforts, warning that joining competing China-led initiatives could put their participation in a U.S.-led coalition at risk.
Imagine spending years building an AI startup designed to help people automate their work, only to eventually shut it down and take what you learned straight back to Google. That is exactly what is happening with Relay.app. The AI-powered workflow automation startup is shutting down, while its founder and CEO, Jacob Bank, is returning to Google as Vice President of Product for Chrome. Several members of the Relay team are also reportedly joining Google’s Chrome organization.
Nigeria's AI story is getting a little more serious. What started as a conversation about whether Nigerians can use artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a bigger question: Can Nigeria build companies with it? Now, Meta and the Federal Government are putting money, training, and global exposure behind that idea. On August 17, 2026, Meta announced a partnership with Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy
What if a game character did not need thousands of pre-made animations to know how to walk, run, jump, crouch, or pick something up? What if an AI could simply generate the movement on the spot? That is the idea behind MotionBricks, a new research system from NVIDIA that is making serious waves in AI-powered animation and robotics. And the numbers are wild.
What if ChatGPT did not just remember what you told it, but could also remember what you were doing on your computer? That is the idea behind OpenAI's new Computer History feature for the ChatGPT macOS app. And yes, it sounds a little like Microsoft's controversial Windows Recall. But there is an important difference: OpenAI says its system does not take screenshots, record video, or capture audio. Instead, it records computer activity as "events"
Imagine telling ChatGPT, “Create a cinematic advert for my brand,” and instead of giving you a prompt or sending you somewhere else, it actually hands the job to a dedicated creative tool. That is increasingly becoming possible with Higgsfield, the AI media-generation platform that has been integrated into ChatGPT through its connector/MCP ecosystem. And for creators, marketers, and anyone making content with AI, this is a bigger deal than it might initially sound.
For months, Google’s AI-generated images, videos, and music have come with something users could not easily escape: a visible watermark. Now, Google is changing that. The company has announced that users will soon be able to turn off the visible watermark on AI-generated content, giving creators a cleaner final product without completely removing the technology Google uses to identify AI-made media.
