Sony tries to explain that its AI Camera Assistant doesn’t suck
The variety of terrible is impressive. After Sony drew some unwanted attention for a post demonstrating its AI Camera Assistant on the Xperia 1 XIII, it's trying to clarify how the feature works. The company says it doesn't edit photos, but makes suggestions based on lighting, depth, and subject. Point the camera at something, and it will give you four options for changing exposure, color, and background blur. In its product video, Sony says that the AI Camera Assistant will also suggest "the most photogenic angle." Though the clip only shows it suggesting that someone zoom in, which is not the same as suggesting a camera angle. The examples that Sony posted on X, while bette … Read the full story at The Verge.

YouTube is expanding its AI deepfake detection tool to all adult users
YouTube is expanding its AI likeness detection program to all users over the age of 18 - meaning just about anyone can have the platform hunt for potential deepfakes of themselves. The likeness detection feature uses a selfie-style scan of a person's face to monitor YouTube for lookalikes. If there is a match, YouTube alerts the user; the person then has the option to request that YouTube remove the content. YouTube has said in the past that it has found the number of removal requests to be "very small." YouTube began testing the feature with content creators, and then expanded it to government officials, politicians, journalists, and fina … Read the full story at The Verge.

Intercom, now called Fin, launches an AI agent whose only job is managing another AI agent
The company formerly known as Intercom just did something that no major customer service platform has attempted at scale: it built an AI agent whose sole job is to manage another AI agent. Fin Operator, announced Thursday at a live event in San Francisco, is a new AI-powered system designed specifically for the back-office teams that configure, monitor, and improve Fin, the company's customer-facing AI agent. Rather than replacing human support agents — which is what Fin itself does on the front lines — Operator targets the growing army of support operations professionals who spend their days updating knowledge bases, debugging conversation failures, and combing through performance dashboards. "Fin is an agent for your customers," Brian Donohue, the company's VP of Product, told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead of the launch. "Operator is an agent for your support ops team. This is an agent for the back office team who manages Fin and then manages their human agents." The an
New benchmark confirms AI video generators look stunning but still can't reason about the world
A new benchmark called WorldReasonBench tests video generators not on image quality, but on physical and logical plausibility. ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 leads the field ahead of Veo 3.1 and Sora 2, with commercial models scoring roughly twice as high as open-source alternatives. Logical reasoning remains the hardest category for every model by a wide margin. The jump from pixel generator to actual world model still hasn't happened.

How RecursiveMAS speeds up multi-agent inference by 2.4x and reduces token usage by 75%
One of the key challenges of current multi-agent AI systems is that they communicate by generating and sharing text sequences, which introduces latency, drives up token costs, and makes it difficult to train the entire system as a cohesive unit. To overcome this challenge, researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Stanford University developed RecursiveMAS, a framework that enables agents to collaborate and transmit information through embedding space instead of text. This change results in both efficiency and performance gains. Experiments show that RecursiveMAS achieves accuracy improvement across complex domains like code generation, medical reasoning, and search, while also increasing inference speed and slashing token usage. RecursiveMAS is significantly cheaper to train than standard full fine-tuning or LoRA methods, making it a scalable and cost-effective blueprint for custom multi-agent systems. The challenges of improving multi-agent systems Multi-agent sys
ArXiv will ban researchers who upload papers full of AI slop
ArXiv, a popular platform for preprint academic research, is taking a new step to attempt to reduce the volume of papers that include AI slop. If a paper has "incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation," such as hallucinated references or "meta-comments" left by an LLM, authors will be banned from ArXiv for a year, according to Thomas Dietterich, ArXiv's section chair of its computer science section. Future ArXiv submissions will also have to be accepted at "a reputable peer-reviewed venue."
