Physical AI is forcing the technology industry to rethink the entire computing stack. Robots, autonomous systems and intelligent devices need economical inference, secure data access and infrastructure that works beyond conventional clouds. Rafay Systems is addressing those demands through orchestration that lets providers offer open models without dedicating entire GPU systems to individual customers, potentially lowering enterprise AI costs while protecting sensitive information, according to Haseeb Budhani (pictured, right), co-founder and chief executive officer of Rafay Systems Inc. “The serverless part at the infrastructure level, we’ve solved that … we’ve done for a while,” Budhani said. “Now we have a…
About 150 miles south of Seoul sits Samsung’s manufacturing facility in Gumi, where the company produces and stress tests many of its Galaxy smartphones, including its foldable devices. On a sweltering day in June, I made my way to the Korean production campus (in style via helicopter, I might add), which is dubbed Gumi Smart City. There, I got a behind-the-scenes look at how Samsung manufactures phones including the Galaxy S26, S26 Ultra and the brand-new Z Fold 8 Ultra. I saw the new foldable a month before its debut at Galaxy Unpacked in London, where Samsung also unveiled the…
Just days after the AI industry was shaken by the unprecedented incident in which OpenAI’s experimental agents escaped their testing environment and attacked Hugging Face, Microsoft has announced a major expansion of its AI cybersecurity strategy. The company introduced MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, its first in-house AI model purpose-built for cybersecurity, alongside Project Perception, a new multi-agent security platform designed to automate vulnerability detection, investigation, and remediation. The timing is significant. As AI systems become increasingly capable of discovering and exploiting software vulnerabilities, technology companies are rapidly shifting from using AI merely as a productivity tool toward deploying it as an autonomous cyber…
Revenue intelligence promises smarter GTM decisions. Most B2B teams are running it on data that’s 30% wrong. What actually separates insight from noise? B2B GTM teams might have a misdiagnosed data problem- they still believe they need more data to improve their tactics. More contacts, more intent signals, more platforms feeding more dashboards. So they buy more. Stack more tools. Build more reports. And somehow, the pipeline doesn’t get more predictable. The reps don’t get more efficient. Even the outreach doesn’t get any more relevant. So, what’s truly happening here? The problem was never volume. It was quality, context, and…
Ravie LakshmananJul 30, 2026Malvertising / Cryptocurrency Threat actors with ties to North Korea have been attributed to a sophisticated macOS malvertising campaign that involves redirecting users to fake web pages displaying a full-screen non-existent update sequence to deliver malware as part of a new iteration of the long-running Contagious Interview campaign. The defining aspect of the attack is that bogus macOS software update screen stealthily copies an attack command to the clipboard and then prompts the victim to execute it via the Terminal app, a known technique referred to as ClickFix. “The experience is designed to induce panic,” AllSecure said…
Google DeepMind just brought sci-fi robots closer to reality, and it is very exciting. Building on its original Gemini Robotics model, the company has introduced Gemini Robotics 2, an AI system designed to help robots think, move, and even work together. Unlike most robots today, which rely on pre-programmed routines or someone controlling them remotely, this new system lets robots figure things out on their own when situations get unpredictable. Can robots finally handle whole-body tasks? Until now, Google’s robotics models mostly handled tabletop tasks using a robot’s upper body. Gemini Robotics 2 changes that by controlling the entire humanoid,…
Seven of nine image-editing tools tested on Hugging Face produced sexualized alterations of a woman’s photograph after receiving a straightforward prompt. The July 28 findings expose an enterprise governance gap: A public AI platform, model publisher, application developer and inference provider may all be different parties. The research does not show that every Hugging Face model is unsafe, and Hugging Face did not develop all the tools examined. It shows why approving a familiar platform is not the same as reviewing the individual model, application and safeguards an organization plans to deploy. Simple prompts exposed missing safeguards The European nonprofit…
(Wizards of the Coast press image) This year’s Gen Con is being held in Indianapolis July 30 through Aug. 2. In advance of the show, one of the biggest events on the calendar for North America’s tabletop gaming community, Wizards of the Coast invited press to take an early look at its scheduled announcements for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Wizards, headquartered in Renton, Wash., has published D&D since 1997, and has presided over the game’s meteoric rise in the last decade. Despite renewed competition and several unforced errors, D&D remains the single most popular game in the tabletop…
Daniela Rus, director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Panasonic Professor of Computer Science, has received the 2026 High-Tech Prize of the Bavarian Minister-President for her contributions to robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems. Awarded jointly by the Bavarian State Government and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, it is the most highly endowed award for technology and engineering in Germany. Rus accepted the prize on July 23 at the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residence.The selection committee cited four strands of her work: self-organizing robot collectives, soft robotics, autonomous mobility, and brain-inspired artificial intelligence. Together…
This week, the US Federal Communications Commission banned the import of foreign-made advanced mobile robots. Humanoid and quadruped robots are specifically named, indicating the true target is robotic versions of people and animals, but something else happens to be an “advanced mobile robot”: robot vacuums.So what does this ban mean? Though it’s effective immediately, nothing changes for now. Robot vacuums won’t get removed from the market, and your current robot vacuum won’t stop working. The ban will instead stop new models from getting FCC approval to be sold in the United States. The vacuums available now won’t be affected, but…
