The conference kicked off with a keynote by Sundar Pichai, who recapped the tech giant’s progress to date and charted the course for the coming years. A key element of this new strategy is full synergy across hardware, software, and advanced language models. Google is no longer treating artificial intelligence as a standalone feature or a novelty – it is becoming the invisible architecture that binds all the company’s services together, from operating systems to daily information retrieval.

South Korea’s AI Basic Law, which went into effect at the start of this year, is already facing its first major revision attempt. While the original legislation requires tech providers to notify users when an image, video, or audio clip is computer-generated, the rules have proven inadequate in practice. Lawmakers have identified a legal loophole they are openly calling a “blind spot” in transparency regulations.

The NATO DIANA Demo Day recently took place in Warsaw as part of Defence24 Days. At the FORT Kraków event, companies developing strategically significant technologies for security and defence were showcased: autonomous systems, communications solutions, sensors, counter-drone technologies, and data integration tools. DIANA stands for Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic — NATO’s defence innovation accelerator.

The problem with today’s chatbots is that they almost never communicate their doubts. The latest research proves that the lack of clear uncertainty indicators in AI interfaces leads to a highly dangerous phenomenon: users ascribe far more confidence to language models than the system’s actual, technical calculations warrant. The truth is, the machine is rarely sure of its answer, but we project infallibility onto it.

Artificial intelligence infrastructure, while primarily associated with Nvidia’s GPUs, is entirely dependent on advanced memory chips. Samsung, which produces roughly a third of the global DRAM supply, controls nearly two-thirds of the market alongside its domestic rival, SK Hynix.

Digital health tools have earned their permanent residency in healthcare. Most hospitals today offer patient-facing applications — and roughly two-thirds of US patients have accessed a health portal at least once. Yet more than 95% use it passively – checking notifications, but never initiating contact with the service. Is bad user experience to blame? Which engagement tactics are even ethically acceptable in healthcare?

Meta is openly signaling that its top priority is aggressively developing artificial intelligence, a pivot that demands colossal infrastructure investments. The latest example is Project Hyperion – the construction of a massive data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana, carrying an estimated $10 billion price tag. The tech giant has reportedly negotiated unprecedented terms for the build.

In the age of advanced algorithms, flashing a classic peace sign for the camera is no longer just innocent fun. Asian media are sounding the alarm over the growing threat of biometric crime risks directly linked to photos uploaded to social media. The scale of the problem was recently exposed by Chinese security expert Li Chang during a live television broadcast. He demonstrated how artificial intelligence tools can efficiently extract and clone fingerprints from a celebrity selfie.

For years, iPhone users had to accept that they could only unlock the system’s full capabilities by buying same-brand accessories. As reported by MacRumors, the iOS 26.5 operating system finally tears down this “walled garden,” introducing unprecedented interoperability changes across the European Union. The new features allow for deep integration between third-party wearables and Apple smartphones.

Large language models (LLMs) were designed to be neutral assistants, objectively synthesizing global knowledge. A breakthrough study published on May 13, 2026, in the journal Nature (led by a team from universities including Princeton, UC San Diego, and NYU) challenges this notion. Through a series of six independent experiments, researchers proved that state censorship and media control directly impact what algorithms ultimately generate.
