Imagine a financial analyst preparing a deal. There are market reports to read, internal documents to search, spreadsheets to compare, and a mountain of information that needs to make sense before a decision can be made. Now imagine a lawyer doing something similar, reviewing hundreds of pages of contracts, checking regulations, and searching through years of case material. Google thinks Gemini can help with all of it.
For years, the AI boom has had a familiar supporting character: Nvidia. Every time AI models get smarter, companies need more computing power to run them. And for much of that journey, Nvidia’s powerful GPUs have been the hardware behind the scenes. Now, OpenAI wants to change that. On August 25, OpenAI revealed the first public benchmark results for Jalapeño, its custom AI inference chip developed with Broadcom.
Imagine heading into the new academic session and suddenly having access to a powerful AI study assistant, research tools, extra cloud storage, and interactive learning features without paying for the subscription. That is now a reality for eligible students in Nigeria. Google has launched its Gemini Student Offer, giving students at Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education 12 months of Google AI Plus at no cost.
For years, the AI revolution in medicine has sounded almost too good to be true. Give AI enough biological data, the thinking goes, and perhaps it could help researchers discover drugs faster, predict which treatments will work, and eventually tackle diseases that have frustrated medicine for decades. Cancer is the obvious prize. But there is a problem: AI can only be as good as the biology it learns from.
Remember when saying “Hey Google” was enough to set an alarm, call someone, play music, or ask a quick question? That familiar voice assistant is now approaching its final goodbye on Android phones. Google has confirmed that Google Assistant will begin disappearing from Android phones and tablets from September 4, 2026, as the company completes its transition to Gemini. The rollout is expected to take several weeks, meaning users may not all lose access on the same day.
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.
