Amazon MGM Studios is launching a closed beta program in March to test proprietary AI tools designed to streamline film and TV production. Led by Albert Cheng, the AI Studio aims to reduce production costs and improve efficiency while maintaining creative control in human hands. The initiative features 350 AI-generated shots in House of David season two.
Roblox has launched its 4D creation feature in open beta, enabling users to generate fully functioning in-game models using natural language prompts. The tool builds on the company's Cube 3D model, which has generated over 1.8 million static 3D objects since March. The new feature adds interactivity, allowing creators to design vehicles with working doors and accurate physics mechanics, marking a significant step in Roblox's broader AI world models strategy.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told the Cisco AI Summit 2026 that companies not set up to quickly adopt AI workers will be at a huge disadvantage. He envisions full AI companies where AI agents actively participate in work rather than serve as passive tools. But Altman warns enterprises are largely unprepared for this shift, facing unresolved challenges around security, governance and data access.
A new platform called RentAHuman allows AI agents to hire humans for real-world tasks, from picking up packages to holding promotional signs. Built by crypto engineer Alexander Liteplo, the site has attracted over 70,000 human signups but only 81 AI agents. While some see it as filling a gap in AI capabilities, others view it as a dystopian shift where machines manage human labor for cryptocurrency payments.
Lotus Health AI announced $35 million in Series A funding to expand its AI-powered primary care model that provides free medical consultations 24/7. Founded by KJ Dhaliwal, the platform uses AI for diagnoses and prescriptions while board-certified physicians from Stanford, Harvard, and UCSF review all final decisions. The company claims its AI doctor service can see 10 times more patients than traditional practices.
Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA announced a long-term strategic partnership to build a shared industrial AI architecture that combines Virtual Twin technologies with AI infrastructure. The collaboration will establish science-validated industry World Models and deploy skilled virtual companions across biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing, fundamentally changing how millions of professionals design and simulate complex systems.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed he felt obsolete after his company's AI coding agent Codex generated better feature ideas than his own. The admission sparked fierce backlash from workers facing job insecurity due to AI, while tech executives like former Dropbox CTO Aditya Agarwal echoed similar feelings of grief and disorientation as artificial intelligence rapidly transforms professional identity.
Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman have launched Luffu, an AI-powered intelligent family care system designed to help families proactively monitor health. The platform addresses a growing need as 63 million U.S. adults now serve as family caregivers, up 45% from a decade ago. Starting as an app with plans to expand into hardware, Luffu uses AI to organize scattered health information and flag notable changes before they become crises.
Elon Musk's xAI is hiring crypto finance experts to teach its AI systems how professional traders analyze on-chain data, evaluate token economics, and manage risk. The remote role pays $45-$100 per hour and focuses on building AI reasoning capabilities for volatile, 24/7 crypto markets rather than simple price prediction.
A growing workforce of at least 200,000 data annotators in rural India now represents roughly half of the world's data labelling workforce, powering global AI models for tech giants. Workers like 27-year-old Chandmani Kerketta balance farming by day with night shifts labelling images and videos essential for machine learning applications like autonomous vehicles. The shift brings new employment opportunities and financial independence, particularly for women in remote regions.
About 50 residents near Santiago, Chile, operated a fully human-powered chatbot for 12 hours, fielding over 25,000 requests globally. The Quili.AI project aimed to spotlight the environmental footprint of artificial intelligence and the massive water consumption of AI data centers in Quilicura, a water-stressed region facing severe drought where tech giants have built multiple facilities.
NASA's Perseverance rover achieved a milestone by completing the first drives on another planet planned entirely by artificial intelligence. On December 8 and 10, the rover traveled nearly 1,500 feet across Mars using routes generated by Anthropic's Claude AI models, marking a shift from decades of manual route planning by human drivers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Two major studies reveal a nuanced picture of AI creativity versus human creativity. While generative AI scored better than average participants in a 100,000-person creativity experiment, the top 10% of humans far exceeded AI performance. Separately, CMU research found AI-generated music was judged less creative than human compositions, highlighting the complex relationship between AI and humans in creative fields.
A groundbreaking Swedish trial involving over 100,000 women shows AI-supported mammography screening reduces interval cancers by 12% and detects 29% more cases than standard screening. The MASAI trial demonstrates AI can support radiologists in early detection while cutting workload by 44%, without increasing false positives.
The once-notorious music piracy site Napster has returned as an AI-first platform focused on music creation rather than streaming. Users can now generate tracks with AI collaborators across multiple genres, while the company faces a $9.2 million lawsuit from Sony Music over unpaid royalties and declares that major labels are obsolete in the new era of music.
