Industrial cameras have traditionally done one job: capture images and send them somewhere else for processing. Whether that destination is a local server or the cloud, the camera has largely been responsible for collecting data rather than interpreting it. This solution works; however, it also introduces latency. When a camera is responsible for inspecting products on a fast-moving assembly line, protecting worker safety, or keeping a facility secure, those delays may be unacceptable.A new edge AI camera platform called NeoEyes NE503, recently launched by CamThink, was designed to change this paradigm. NeoEyes NE503 doesn’t just stream images to a remote…

Apple Notes in iOS 27 adds a variety of new features, including one I just discovered that power users are sure to appreciate: section links. Apple Notes lets you link to specific sections of your note in iOS 27 There’s no shortage of third-party notes apps on the App Store. You can find everything from barebones note-takers to powerhouse productivity suites. Apple Notes has long excelled at offering a minimalist, user-friendly interface while also providing tools that power users love. And in iOS 27, Notes has an exciting new addition coming in the latter category: section links. Whenever you select…

Is it possible for a law firm to use an LLM when client confidentiality matters more than speed? Many law firms answer this question with a cautious “no”: case files, contracts, privileged information, transaction materials, and litigation documents are too sensitive to be shared with public AI services without careful review. And this concern is justified. However, this does not mean that law firms have to reject LLMs altogether. The real question is not whether to use AI, but where the data is processed, who controls access to it, and what review processes are built into the system. In this…

A voltage-controlled gelation strategy programs ion flow inside individual nanopores, opening a route to high-permeability membranes for salinity-gradient power and advanced ion separation. Paper: One-pore synthesis of ionic nanogel osmotic power generators. Image credit: AI-generated image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI  A recent study in the journal Communications Materials introduces a novel nanofabrication strategy for creating ultrathin ionic hydrogels inside individual solid-state nanopores. The resulting ionic nanogels exhibit tunable ion selectivity, exceptional ion permeability, and high pore-area-normalized osmotic power density. The technology offers a potentially scalable platform for next-generation nanofluidic devices, salinity-gradient energy harvesting systems, and ion-separation technologies, although membrane-scale performance still depends…

The Google Home Speaker goes on sale (finally, after nine months) tomorrow, and I’ve got one pumping out tunes as I type. I’ve only had it for 24 hours, so nowhere near long enough to bring you a full review, but I do have some initial feelings of note. So, was the six-year wait since the Nest Audio worth it? Let’s take a look. The design is nice, but it has quirks Out of the box, the Home Speaker is exactly as I expected it to be. A slightly squashed orb covered in mesh fabric which fits in the palm…

A proposed change to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina constitution has been defeated by voters, stopping plans that could have opened the door to future tribal gaming projects and a possible casino resort in Robeson County. The result followed months of discussion inside the tribe about whether gaming should become part of a broader economic development strategy after federal recognition was secured in 2025. BREAKING: Lumbee Chairman John Lowery says that the Tribe’s gaming amendment has failedNo official numbers from the Tribe’s election board, but some unofficial numbers floating around also suggest the “no” vote has won pic.twitter.com/oDWqIHa2gJ— Chris…

At the recent AI and Society Forum at MIT, experts from across the Institute discussed the potential benefits and dangers of technological innovation on labor, the nature of work, civil discourse, election administration, and other topics.The event featured individual research presentations and panel discussions, as well as a musical performance exploring the use of generative artificial intelligence in the arts.The forum was co-organized by the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS) and the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC). It was presented in collaboration with two of MIT’s strategic initiatives: the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium (MGAIC) and the MIT Human Insight Collaborative…

Enterprises are rapidly deploying agentic applications at scale, from back-office micro apps that automate routine tasks to agents that power customer experiences across industries and departments. But general-purpose foundation models, disconnected from enterprise data and lacking centralized governance controls, can’t deliver the accuracy, compliance, or business context these agents and applications demand. Equally critical, they introduce risk: uncontrolled model and data access, inconsistent policies, lack of observability, and fragmented audit trails.We believe Gartner’s decision to reclassify this category from “Data Science and Machine Learning” to “AI Platforms for Data Science and Machine Learning” confirms our longstanding view: AI is no…

Microsoft has signed a 20-year power agreement with Chevron for a planned AI data centre in West Texas.Chevron’s wholly owned subsidiary, Energy Forge One LLC, signed the power purchase agreement with Microsoft. The agreement covers dedicated electricity for a Microsoft-operated data centre through Project Kilby, a co-located power facility and data centre complex.Chevron is working with Joulent, an energy company launched by investment firm Engine No. 1, to build approximately 2.67GW of generating capacity in Reeves County. The project will use a phased, modular approach to add generation in stages.The site will cover more than 2,000 acres in the Permian…

At Black Hat, every new data source is a trade-off. More telemetry means better visibility – but also more data for threat hunters to sift through. From SMA to SAA: Same Need, Different Problem Recently, Splunk Attack Analyzer (SAA) superseded Secure Malware Analytics (SMA) as the official malware threat analysis platform at Black Hat.  With SMA, we had a simple and effective pattern:  Submissions exceeding a score threshold Automatically surfaced to the Threat Hunters’ incident queue on Cisco XDR It worked well. So naturally, we wanted the same outcome with SAA. SAA provides granular data across multiple sourcetypes, allowing for significant flexibility in how information is presented. By mapping these data streams together, we…
