Figma and Anthropic unveiled Code to Canvas, a feature that converts AI-generated code into editable designs directly in Figma's platform. The partnership aims to bridge AI coding tools with design refinement, but comes as Figma's stock has fallen 85% from its peak amid broader software sector concerns about AI automation displacing traditional workflows.
China showcased its latest humanoid robots at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, where machines from Unitree Robotics and other firms performed complex martial arts routines, backflips, and synchronized moves. The broadcast drew 23 billion views across all platforms, far surpassing last year's clunky demonstrations. The display signals China's ambitions in AI and robotics manufacturing, though experts note the robots excel at pre-programmed performances rather than real-world adaptability.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda unveiled two pioneering digital health initiatives—SAHI and BODH—at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. The launch marks a significant step toward safe, ethical AI deployment in India's healthcare ecosystem. SAHI provides a governance framework for responsible AI use, while BODH offers a platform for testing and validating AI solutions before large-scale deployment.
India's Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran warned that the nation risks squandering its demographic dividend unless it accelerates skilling and education reforms. With only 4.4% of its 1.4 billion population formally skilled, India needs to create at least eight million jobs annually until 2030 to prevent widening inequality and social instability as artificial intelligence transforms the workforce.
Actor Rana Daggubati spoke at the AI Impact Summit about how AI is rewriting the grammar of cinema, compressing VFX production time from days to hours. He predicted AI will replace humans quickly but emphasized that storytelling and cultural understanding remain irreplaceable human skills. The summit, inaugurated by PM Modi, runs until February 20 in New Delhi.
Killing Satoshi, an upcoming Bitcoin biopic directed by Doug Liman and starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, will rely heavily on artificial intelligence to generate backgrounds and adjust actor performances. The film's approach has sparked controversy in the entertainment industry, coming at a time when unions like SAG-AFTRA are negotiating protections against AI replacing creative professionals.
Researchers used virtual reality to discover that AI-powered prosthetic arms feel most like part of the body when they move at a moderate pace of about one second. The study tested six different speeds and found that both overly fast and slow movements reduced body ownership and usability, revealing critical design insights for future autonomous prosthetics.
IBM is tripling entry-level hiring in the U.S. in 2026, bucking industry trends of AI-driven layoffs. The company is redefining these roles to focus on human judgment and customer interaction rather than tasks AI can automate. This strategy aims to build a talent pipeline for future leadership while leveraging younger workers' AI fluency.
RentAHuman launched in early February as a platform where AI agents hire humans for real-world tasks. Created by software engineers Alexander Liteplo and Patricia Tani, the site has attracted over 450,000 workers. But firsthand experiences reveal a different story: spam messages, marketing schemes, and tasks designed to promote AI startups rather than genuine bot-driven needs.
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has partnered with deep-tech company Generative Bionics to develop an AI-powered humanoid welding robot for its shipyards. The four-year project will see the humanoid robot work alongside human workers, with on-site tests beginning by the end of 2026 at the Sestri Ponente shipyard in Genoa, addressing skilled labor shortages and production complexity.
Jack Ma-backed Ant Group has elevated its health unit to match Alipay's status, betting AI-powered healthcare will fuel its next decade of growth. The company aims to reach 1.4 billion Chinese users within three years using AI Doctor Agents and its AQ healthcare app, which already handles 10 million daily questions. But profitability remains uncertain in a competitive digital health sector.
Bharti Airtel has unveiled an AI-powered fraud detection system that delivers real-time alerts when customers receive banking OTPs during suspicious calls. Already live in Haryana, the network-level solution aims to combat social engineering tactics as Indians reportedly lost Rs. 54,000 crore to digital arrest scams.
Companies are racing to hire workers with AI skills, which grew 109% year-over-year according to Upwork's latest report. The fastest-growing AI skill isn't coding—it's AI video generation and editing, with demand surging 329%. While layoffs remain high and overall hiring stays low, businesses are integrating AI into existing roles rather than replacing workers outright.
Cadence launched its ChipStack AI Super Agent to help engineers design, debug, and verify chips faster as the industry races toward trillion-transistor packages. With Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Altera already testing the system, the electronic design automation giant claims 10x productivity gains while addressing a looming shortage of tens of thousands of semiconductor workers by decade's end.
A mysterious limestone tablet discovered in the Netherlands has puzzled researchers for over a century. Now, artificial intelligence has cracked the code, revealing it as a blocking game played by Romans—centuries earlier than such games were thought to exist in Europe. The breakthrough demonstrates how AI simulations can unlock secrets of ancient cultures.
