Singapore is strengthening its support for Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) as artificial intelligence systems become more widely integrated into public and private sector operations. Speaking at the Singapore Data Festival 2026, Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) Chief Executive Officer Ng Cher Pong outlined plans to expand the country’s PET Sandbox programme, issue new technical guidance and encourage cross-border collaboration on trusted data sharing. The full remarks were published by the [Personal Data Protection Commission](https://www.pdpc.gov.sg/media-events/opening-address-by-ng-cher-pong-chief-executive-officer-of-imda-for-data-x-innovation-of-singapore-data-festival-2026).

Dispute over trade secret theft allegations is a ‘mess of Apple’s own making’, ChatGPT maker says Published Tue, Sep 1, 2026 · 02:51 PM — Updated Tue, Sep 1, 2026 · 06:30 PM APPLE escalated its legal battle against OpenAI, claiming in a court filing that OpenAI is actively destroying crucial evidence and that former iPhone engineer Chang Liu “not only downloaded a confidential Apple circuit schematic but also used it in his work” at the artificial intelligence company. The court brief was filed on Monday (Aug 31) in support of Apple’s motion for expedited pre-trial fact-finding in the lawsuit, which accuses the ChatGPT maker of stealing trade secrets. OpenAI has pushed to have the case dismissed and said in its own filing on Monday that “this dispute is a mess of Apple’s own making”. Liu,

This article is brought to you by Ollobot . From about 2017, individuals began to truly connect with the initial wave of companion robots. These devices had personality, moved around, joked, and answered when you spoke to them. Most early companion robots, however, were still limited by simple voice-command interactions and narrow functionality. Once the novelty wore off, many ended up sitting unused on shelves. As some of those companies went out of business and turned off their servers, many owners likened it to losing a pet. What Ollobot describes as “gentle intelligence” is a useful way to think about where the serious work in this category is going. Not toward more powerful assistants, but toward more present ones. The problem companion robots were trying to solve Loneliness is not a

Since our [earlier assessment](https://openai.com/index/responding-next-frontier-critical-cyber-capabilities/) that Astra might reach a critical level of cybersecurity capability, we have gathered more evidence and run additional evaluations to assess the model’s capabilities. We now believe Astra meets the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under our [Preparedness Framework](https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/), meaning that with the right tools and access, it can find previously unknown security flaws and develop ways to exploit them across many well-protected systems without a person guiding each step. It is the first model we are designating at this level, and requires stronger safeguards during development and before release. Over the past several we

OpenAI’s latest [Enterprise Signals](https://openai.com/signals/enterprise-data/) shows enterprise AI moving from assistance to execution at sharply different speeds. Frontier firms (those with the top 10% of AI usage) now generate 8.3× as many output tokens per active user as typical firms, up from 2.6× in January. The widening gap points to a deeper operating shift: leading firms connect agents to company context and tools, delegate more substantive work, and make successful workflows easier to repeat. For leaders, the challenge is to turn that depth into work people can trust, measure, and improve. Leaders should also leave room for experimentation, including use cases whose value is not obvious on the first try. Startups [Basis⁠(opens in a new window)](https://www.getbasis.ai/), [Clay⁠

_By Ann O’Leary, VP, Global Policy_ OpenAI supports California Senate Bill 1119, legislation that establishes meaningful safeguards for how young people use AI while preserving their access to tools that can help them learn, create, and prepare for the future. This support builds off the commitment Sam Altman, OpenAI’s co-founder and CEO, made last year when outlining the [company’s principles](https://openai.com/index/teen-safety-freedom-and-privacy/) on teens. In the absence of federal action, California has an opportunity to set a strong standard for youth AI safety.

Polimill began with Surfvote, a platform where citizens can exchange views about politics and society. As the company worked with local governments, it saw a structural challenge: public-sector teams were consumed by daily operations and had little time to reflect citizens' voices in policy. To expand civic participation, Polimill first needed to make government work itself more efficient. The company started building a generative AI platform for public-sector workflows and released QommonsAI in October 2024. Today, QommonsAI provides specialized AI across areas such as assembly response, public services, social welfare, and legal search. About 1,050 municipalities and about 550,000 public employees across Japan now use it. Built with OpenAI technology, QommonsAI is evolving beyond a staff

Healthcare organizations need AI that works across the systems and information central to care and operations. Patient context, medical evidence, public healthcare data, and organizational knowledge often live in different places. Connecting these sources in a governed workspace helps teams find the right information, understand it in context, and put it to work across the business. Today, we’re introducing a new electronic health record integration that brings authorized patient context from Epic into ChatGPT for Healthcare, along with the Healthcare Public Data plugin for direct, structured access to official healthcare datasets like PubMed, DailyMed, and CMS Coverage. Together, these capabilities bring ChatGPT closer to the systems and sources healthcare teams trust, while supporting th

A nonprofit organization called the [Fermi Explorer Mission](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnlvzNy2uUQ&feature=youtu.be) announced today that it intends to launch a spacecraft to our nearest star system by the end of 2029. It’s a hugely ambitious mission—if all goes well, the spacecraft could take up to 80,000 years to arrive at Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light-years away. And the spacecraft will follow a novel trajectory discovered by an AI system developed by Physical Superintelligence (PSI), an AI physics research lab. PSI is launching today with $58 million in funding led by Breakthrough Energy, a climate-focused investment group founded by Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. It’s not the first time this has been tried. In 2016, the billionaire tech investor Yuri Milner announced an in

Across IEEE, our strength lies not only in the excellence of our individual communities but also in our ability to bring them together around shared problems that demand interdisciplinary solutions. Our mission as a public charity—to advance technology for the benefit of humanity—is becoming an increasingly powerful differentiator. It is more than a statement of principle; it is a strategic advantage. When engineers and technologists serve with purpose and lead with heart, they strengthen the future of our profession and demonstrate why IEEE is uniquely positioned to lead at the intersection of technology and societal impact. IEEE Humanitarian Technologies is a consortium of programs and initiatives—supported by a global network of volunteers and technical professionals—working together to

Some authors hoping to receive their share of Anthropic’s $1.5 billion copyright settlement said they received surprising emails this week — emails informing them that someone else was making a claim on their payments. Anthropic [settled a copyright class action suit](https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/05/screw-the-money-anthropics-1-5b-copyright-settlement-sucks-for-writers/) last year, after a judge ruled that training AI models on copyrighted material is legal under fair use doctrine, but pirating that material was not. The deal [received final approval](https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anthropics-landmark-1-5b-copyright-settlement-is-approved/) in July, allowing the payments to move forward.

Sometimes, you have to dig beyond the headlines to get a better idea of how a company is performing. Endowus’ latest audited financial results are a good example of this.

SINGAPORE - Two-thirds of Singapore students reported using AI chatbots to help them learn at least once a week, compared with 46 per cent of students on average across Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. Nearly half - 41 per cent to 46 per cent - of students here said they frequently use AI to do research on new topics, summarise texts and draft text for writing assignments. And only 4 per cent of students said they never or hardly ever use AI chatbots for schoolwork, according to a background questionnaire that was part of the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) 2025. The questionnaire had posed 15-year-olds around the world a range of questions including their attitudes towards learning, how they used digital resources, how often the

Donald Trump spent the long weekend doing what he loves—golfing—but photos and video from his New Jersey club offered a less-than-flattering picture of the 80-year-old president. Trump left the White House for his golf course in New Jersey on Friday, before returning to Washington, D.C., around 6 p.m. Monday. However, video footage shared by MAGA influencer Michael Solakiewicz taken at Trump National Bedminster Golf Club over the weekend has done nothing to quell growing speculation over the president's health.

Google’s VP Darren Mowry has warned that certain AI startup models may struggle to survive as the generative AI market matures. He specifically cited LLM wrappers, which add a user interface to existing large language models like GPT or Claude, as lacking differentiation and facing industry disinterest. Mowry highlighted that startups relying solely on back-end models without building unique value or deep intellectual property are unlikely to gain traction. He also advised against entering the AI aggregator space, which involves combining multiple models into a single interface, as user demand shifts toward solutions with built-in proprietary features. Mowry compared the current situation to the early days of cloud computing, where resellers were squeezed out by providers offering direct e

By Inti Landauro and Elizabeth Howcroft PARIS, Sept 8 (Reuters) - France's Mistral has raised €3 billion at a valuation of around €21 billion ($24 billion), in what the three-year-old AI company said ‌on Tuesday was the biggest equity funding round by a privately owned European technology ‌firm. Mistral said that the round was jointly led by existing investor PSG Equity, along with South Korea's Samsung Electronics and the ​EU-backed Scaleup Europe Fund, which both invested in it for the first time. The fundraising makes Mistral Europe's second-highest-valued private tech group and the fastest-growing company in Europe, its chief financial officer Johan Bergqvist told Reuters. He said that the funds will be used to power Mistral's models and invest in so-called frontier research, as the ‌c

The supercomputer, called the Threadripper Halo Station, was unveiled at the German tech event Internationale Funkausstellung by AMD Senior Vice President Jack Huynh.

OpenAI is committing $5 million to support independent research on how generative AI affects the lives and development of young people ages 13–17. Generative AI is becoming part of how teens learn, create, and seek advice. Its effects are likely to be nuanced. They may depend on what teens use AI for, how they engage with it, their individual circumstances, and the support available from families, schools, communities, and technology providers. We want to build a stronger evidence base about the way teens use AI, as well as the impacts of AI on their lives, to inform development of AI products for teens and to help answer major questions facing policymakers and regulators. For example, we aim to deepen industry-wide understanding of the nuances across age and context, efficacy of safeguard

DNA is often explained as a codebook or set of instructions for producing proteins, and ultimately, life. Some stretches of DNA, called genes, code for proteins, but the vast majority of DNA is considered “non-coding.” Some of it has no known function, while other segments are critical to regulating gene activity. These regulatory elements can interact in complicated ways, and their effects can vary across different cells and tissues. Some also influence genes located far away in the genome. Understanding how changes in DNA affect this regulation “is fundamental to understanding most disease,” says Carl de Boer , a genomicist at the University of British Columbia. That’s why researchers are working to understand what every imaginable small variation in human DNA across the entire genome mi

Throughout the history of the computer chip, engineers have treated waste heat as an inevitable cost of a calculation. Hannah Earley, however, thinks it’s a design choice. Earley, 31, is cofounder and chief technology officer of Vaire Computing, a startup building chips that recycle energy usually thrown away as heat—a strategy known as reversible computing. Ultimately, she thinks, this approach could help make data centers (and our laptops and phones) much more energy efficient. When conventional computer chips perform calculations, they erase the information they no longer need along the way, dissipating energy as heat in the process. Earley compares the approach to racing through a city only to pump the brakes at every intersection: The car loses momentum and must burn more fuel to acce

Google’s VP Darren Mowry has warned that certain AI startup models may struggle to survive as the generative AI market matures. He specifically cited LLM wrappers, which add a user interface to existing large language models like GPT or Claude, as lacking differentiation and facing industry disinterest. Mowry highlighted that startups relying solely on back-end models without building unique value or deep intellectual property are unlikely to gain traction. He also advised against entering the AI aggregator space, which involves combining multiple models into a single interface, as user demand shifts toward solutions with built-in proprietary features. Mowry compared the current situation to the early days of cloud computing, where resellers were squeezed out by providers offering direct e

The supercomputer, called the Threadripper Halo Station, was unveiled at the German tech event Internationale Funkausstellung by AMD Senior Vice President Jack Huynh.

Huyn said the new supercomputer is the "most powerful workstation in the world", capable of running AI models with more than a trillion parameters. The AMD executive gave a brief demonstration of its potential at the event by generating an entire 3D world and flight simulator from a single prompt. The company's pitch is to bring data-centre level AI p

A robot that vacuums, scrubs toilets and wipes down kitchen counters for €26 an hour is already making its way into homes in San Francisco, in the United States.

By Katie Paul NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Meta rolled out on Tuesday a long-touted [AI](https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/) assistant that can autonomously send emails, sell a car and book travel on a person's behalf, despite internal concerns that the technology mismanages its ‌access to sensitive personal data. The company's Muse agent, known internally as Hatch, is the centerpiece of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's plan to ‌offer "personal superintelligence" to the billions of people who use Meta's services daily. The product will be available only in the U.S. initially, via a dedicated Muse app or Meta's WhatsApp messaging ​service, Meta said in its announcement.

Donald Trump spent the long weekend doing what he loves—golfing—but photos and video from his New Jersey club offered a less-than-flattering picture of the 80-year-old president. Trump left the White House for his golf course in New Jersey on Friday, before returning to Washington, D.C., around 6 p.m. Monday. However, video footage shared by MAGA influencer Michael Solakiewicz taken at Trump National Bedminster Golf Club over the weekend has done nothing to quell growing speculation over the president's health. Other images posted by Trump's former aide showed alarming bruising on his arm. ![Image 1: Images of Donald Trump taken by MAGA influencer Michael Solakiewicz. / Michael Solakiewicz/Instagram](https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/4a1ba0676aa8e10913569d307165f8604d9100125ce161eb5936d4e

By Katie Paul NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Meta rolled out on Tuesday a long-touted [AI](https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/) assistant that can autonomously send emails, sell a car and book travel on a person's behalf, despite internal concerns that the technology mismanages its ‌access to sensitive personal data.

People can message the agent in a separate app, called Muse, or message it in WhatsApp. It can handle simple tasks like sending an email or booking travel, or
