Eno, Japan’s tiny self-driving AI taxi, can carry up to three people at a time. It’s packed with tech, including LiDAR sensors, cameras, and lights for nighttime travel.

Currently a prototype, Eno is being tested as a potential solution for compact, autonomous urban transport.

Its creator drew inspiration from garbage collectors hopping on and off trucks. While it moves slowly, this lets passengers enjoy the ride.

Yann LeCun claims his next-gen AI will possess "emotions."

He argues current AI is "very stupid," lacking physical understanding & reasoning.

But AI designed for goal-fulfillment & outcome anticipation, will develop "fear, excitement, elation."

🗣️ Yann LeCun: "We are not going to get to human level AI by just scaling up LLMs. This is just not going to happen."

"What we're going to have maybe is systems that are trained on sufficiently large amounts of data that, any question that any reasonable person may ask will, will find an answer through the systems. And it would feel like you have a PhD sitting next to you."

🇬🇧 Artists must adapt to AI “inevitability”— Tony blair think tank warns

A leaked paper from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, the TBI, is urging UK artists to adapt to the rise of AI, claiming it is an "inevitable" force that will reshape the creative industry. The report suggests that just as artists adapted to the advent of photography in the 19th century, they must now embrace AI-driven tools to stay relevant.

The UK government, under Keir Starmer, is reportedly considering a proposal to exempt Big Tech from copyright laws, allowing them unrestricted access to online material to improve AI products. Critics argue this could undermine creators' rights, but TBI insists that AI will push art into new, transformative directions, much like past technological shifts.

🔔 AI Doctors Coming to iOS!

Apple is revolutionizing healthcare with Project Mulberry, an AI-powered Health app upgrade. It will analyze data from the Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods to provide personalized medical insights. Features include an AI health assistant, posture analysis, nutrition tracking, and educational content. Launching with iOS 19.4 in 2025, this aligns with Tim Cook’s vision of making health Apple's biggest impact!

In Chinese mythology, Yang Jian, also known as Erlang Shen, had a loyal companion dog, the legendary "Xiaotian Quan." In a modern twist, a Wu Opera troupe from Zhejiang Province brought this mythical creature to life in an unconventional way: by using a robotic dog to play the role of Xiaotian Quan, sharing the stage with traditional Chinese opera performers.

Swiss company RIVR has teamed up with UK delivery giant Evri to launch autonomous robots that make parcel deliveries faster and smarter.

The new robots—designed with both wheels and legs—will handle the final 100 yards of delivery, starting in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

By using RIVR’s advanced robots, Evri aims to reduce the amount of short-distance walking for drivers, easing their workload and improving delivery speed.

A humanoid robot will greet visitors and give tours at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. The event opens to the public on April 13 on the artificial island of Yumeshima.

Walker C is a humanoid robot made by China’s UBTech Robotics. It will debut at the China Pavilion’s south plaza during the expo.

Though not yet available to the public, it’s expected to compete with top robots like Unitree’s G1, offering skills like barcode scanning, object handling, and smart movement using computer vision.

This reflects China’s push toward AGI (artificial general intelligence), where robots can handle a variety of jobs without needing retraining.
