Australia’s DeWave is redefining brain-computer interfaces with an AI-powered EEG cap that decodes thoughts without surgery. While Neuralink drills into skulls, DeWave shows non-invasive tech can deliver real impact—raising big questions about access and the future of thought control.
AI-driven humanoids have turned factory floors into geopolitical battlegrounds. China is turbo-charging automation and redrawing alliances, while the U.S. scrambles to close the gap—placing the next era of diplomacy, defense, and economic power squarely in the decisive hands of intelligent machines.
Apple’s new research paper dismantles the myth of AI reasoning, revealing that models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google collapse under complex tasks. Released ahead of WWDC 2025, the findings challenge billion-dollar AGI claims and expose the industry’s most persuasive illusion.
Microsoft launched AI-powered Surface PCs with a Copilot button and hired top talent from Inflection AI, reinforcing its leadership in AI innovation and personal computing.
In a series of strategic moves that underscore its commitment to leading the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, Microsoft has made headlines with its latest announcements.
The tech giant is not only introducing AI-integrated Surface PCs but also bolstering its AI development team with the acquisition of talent from the AI startup Inflection.
Microsoft has unveiled its first-ever Surface PCs equipped with a dedicated Copilot button, fulfilling a promise made earlier this year.
This innovative feature, positioned for easy access on the keyboard, is poised to transform the user experience by bringing generative AI capabilities to the fingertips of users.
The new Surface Pro 10 for Business and Surface Laptop 6 for Business, both equipped with this feature, highlight Microsoft's vision for a future where AI and personal computing are seamlessly integrated.
In addition to the Copilot feature, these "AI PCs" boast Intel Core Ultra processors with a specialised neural processing engine (NPU), enabling faster responses and improved security.
These features, along with the integration of AI into Windows 11, underscore Microsoft's commitment to enhancing user experiences through technology.
The introduction of these AI-integrated PCs follows closely on the heels of Apple's announcement of its MacBook Air laptops, featuring an upgraded Neural Engine for AI applications.
Microsoft's offerings, starting at $1,199, are now available for pre-order and are set to ship starting April 9, though initially, they will not be available to consumers.
In a parallel development, Microsoft has announced a significant partnership with Inflection AI, involving a $650 million agreement largely for licensing the startup's AI software.
This move comes alongside the hiring of Inflection's co-founders, Mustafa Suleyman and Karén Simonyan, as well as a majority of the startup's staff.
This "acqui-hire" has captured the industry's attention, merging Inflection's innovative AI capabilities with Microsoft's global reach.
"We are in Year 2 of the AI platform shift and must ensure we have the capability and capacity to boldly innovate," stated Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, highlighting the company's ambition in the AI space. With Suleyman and Simonyan joining the leadership team, Microsoft is poised to accelerate its AI research and development efforts.
