At long last, OpenStack (now known as OpenInfra Foundation) joins Linux Foundation

“Open source has changed a lot, and what a project needs out of a foundation in 2025 is quite different from what a project needed in 2010 or 2012 when we were starting the OpenStack foundation,” Bryce said. “Governments are very interested in open source, and we have to make sure that we are participating in the right way to understand and comply with policies.” The Linux Foundation has had multiple efforts in recent years to engage with governments around the world on multiple topics, including open-source security, via its OpenSSF (Open Secure Software Foundation). Bryce noted that in his

IEEE Offers AI Training Courses and a Mini MBA Program

Artificial intelligence is changing the way business is conducted. Organizations that understand where to deploy AI strategically—whether through process improvements, more effective data use, or elsewhere—are expected to outperform their competition and have greater growth and efficiency. In its annual report, “The Impact of Technology in 2025 and Beyond: An IEEE Global Study,” IEEE surveyed 350 global technology leaders including CIOs, CTOs, and IT directors. The survey revealed that more than half of the respondents ranked AI, which encompasses predictive and generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing, as the most important technology coming into 2025. The tech leaders

Are robotic hernia repairs still in the ‘learning curve’ phase?

For an abdominal wall hernia repair, also known as a ventral hernia repair, the most common surgical approaches have been laparoscopic and open techniques. But a new approach for repairing hernias has been steadily growing in popularity: the surgical robot. Supporters of using the robot method state multiple advantages over traditional laparoscopic and open approaches, including improved surgeon ergonomics. But there may be downsides to the technology that are going undiscussed. In a research article published in JAMA Surgery, Brian Fry, M.D., M.S., a general surgery resident at University of Michigan Health and colleagues compared hernia recurrence rates after undergoing

Google’s Gemini Robotics AI Model Reaches Into the Physical World

In sci-fi tales, artificial intelligence often powers all sorts of clever, capable, and occasionally homicidal robots. A revealing limitation of today’s best AI is that, for now, it remains squarely trapped inside the chat window. Google DeepMind signaled a plan to change that today—presumably minus the homicidal part—by announcing a new version of its AI model Gemini that fuses language, vision, and physical action together to power a range of more capable, adaptive, and potentially useful robots. In a series of demonstration videos, the company showed several robots equipped with the new model, called Gemini Robotics, manipulating items in response

Wu-Tang Clan’s New Music Video Is Extremely AI-Generated

As Wu-Tang Clan rose from hardscrabble obscurity to become one of the most influential rap acts of the 1990s, there was never any doubt that the group’s signature blend of real life storytelling and epic fiction was the product of human creativity — but late in their career, that’s clearly changed. Directed by filmmaker Jason Zada, the clip for “Mandingo,” the latest from the legendary Staten Island crew, features the group’s classic tropes: kung fu aesthetics, swordplay, and a gritty reimagining of New York City as a canvas for fantastical mythmaking. The biggest difference between “Mandingo” and everything that came

When humans use AI to earn patents, who is doing the inventing?

The advent of generative artificial intelligence has sent shock waves across industries, from the technical to the creative. AI systems that can generate viable computer code, write news stories and spin up professional-looking graphics have inspired countless headlines asking whether they will take away jobs in technology, journalism and design, among many other fields. And these new ways of doing work and making things raise another question: In the era of AI, what does it mean to be an inventor? Among technologists who build digital tools or programs, it is increasingly common to use AI as part of design and

The UK government embracing AI? I’m sorry, that’s nonsense and I can prove it | Chris Stokel-Walker

Two tech-related things made me laugh this week. One was Donald Trump’s childlike exuberance at seeing the dash panel of a Tesla on the White House lawn, and his wondrous exclamation that “everything is computer”. The other was equally hilarious, also tied to politics. Keir Starmer stood up yesterday in Hull and said waste would be thrown by the wayside and the civil service would lose its bloat … thanks to the transformative effects of AI. What I knew, and no one else did until my story for New Scientist was published shortly afterwards, was that the prime minister was

Inside Roche’s Leadership Formula for GCC Success in India

India’s global capability centres (GCCs) are expanding their reach and influence like never before. With an increased focus on end-to-end product ownership, strategic decision-making, and developing top talent, these centres are playing a crucial role in shaping the future of innovation on the global stage. Today, GCCs are driving innovation, helping shape big-picture strategies, and delivering solutions that truly make an impact. However, as these centres transform, the leadership driving them must evolve too. It is not just about managing operations anymore—it is about taking on bigger challenges, learning new skills, and leading from the front. In an interview with
