Tsinghua University unveils MedMPT — a multimodal medical AI integrating CT scans, reports, and clinical data to support diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. https://t.co/xVtGBRM1On

China is testing AI school robots that escort children, assist in class, mediate conflicts, and offer basic psychological support. A new norm where childhood unfolds alongside machines. https://t.co/WtQR7P2pGD

Switzerland delays automatic crypto tax data exchange under OECD CARF until at least 2027. Reporting rules start in 2026, but partner-country approval and data protection checks slow the rollout. A cautious, strategic pause by Bern. https://t.co/JVGGBlQZqa

Harmonic, founded by Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, raised $120M to build “verifiable AI” — systems that check their own logic and accuracy. A shift from powerful models to trustworthy intelligence. https://t.co/RQTh9MCfsH

AI may soon run on light. Tsinghua University unveiled OFE2 — an optical AI chip performing ML tasks in picoseconds with near-zero heat loss, using photonics instead of transistors. https://t.co/XPez98UYrE

South Korea expands the crypto Travel Rule. Now even small transfers under ₩1M require full sender and recipient identification — a major step against money laundering. https://t.co/2Iy5YQMmN3

Tesla changes how humanoid robots learn. Optimus is now trained from video of real factory work — not motion capture — applying Tesla’s vision-only AI philosophy to embodied robotics. https://t.co/LQJs1qDvaV

Europe is building its own SpaceX rival. The Exploration Company prepares a new major funding round to scale Nyx — a reusable spacecraft restoring Europe’s autonomous access to orbit. https://t.co/lgzD7G6h0t

USC researchers built artificial neurons that compute using real brain-like electrochemistry — not code. A step toward neuromolecular AI hardware and a new path to AGI. https://t.co/aGn9k2I8kH

China is moving humanoid robots beyond factories. CSGC’s “Fuxi” signals a shift toward security, surveillance, and public control — where robotics meets state power. https://t.co/VGdeV7wrXz

AI is no longer just analyzing markets — it’s entering them. Crypto and DeFi are becoming the core infrastructure of the machine economy, where autonomous agents manage real financial flows. https://t.co/yyj0WQqAbs

Google Maps is evolving into an AI assistant. With Gemini, it can plan routes, find parking, suggest places along the way, and handle multi-step requests in one conversation. https://t.co/S6fcQWOEyE

Scientists show that screen materials can be made from wood waste. Using lignin and amino acids, researchers created metal-free light emitters — a step toward sustainable, recyclable displays. https://t.co/pPiANfrcvB

EcoG raises €16M to build an “operating system” for fast EV charging. The platform already manages 25,000+ charging stations worldwide — connecting fleets, energy grids, and operators into one digital layer. https://t.co/bmM3WyZ5ZI

Turkmenistan legalizes crypto mining, storage & trading from 2026 — but bans crypto as a payment method. Digital assets = property, not currency. State crypto-capitalism in action. https://t.co/BTYhgSTs5M

Sony AI introduced FHIBE — the first global benchmark to measure fairness and bias in computer vision models. A step toward ethical AI where accuracy is no longer enough. https://t.co/gx0SDzuKX6

Canadian researchers built a soft magnetic microrobot that dissolves kidney stones without surgery or shock waves. A major step toward painless, minimally invasive urology. https://t.co/ytYlhf1ufR

South Africa pauses retail CBDC plans and doubles down on wholesale infrastructure. Project Khokha tests a digital rand for real-time interbank settlement — focusing on trust, not hype. https://t.co/ZJ43PmGai0

Swiss startup Cerrion raised $18M to turn ordinary factory cameras into AI-powered industrial analytics. No new sensors, no infrastructure rebuild — just vision-driven optimization for Industry 4.0. https://t.co/tBz9DlWD2u
