Canvas, Webtoon's platform for user-uploaded comics, is about to get a major overhaul that's designed to help creators make more money and share their art with a wider audience. Today, Webtoon announced its plans to roll out a number of new features for Canvas that will make it easier for artists to build global followings and gain a deeper understanding of who's engaging with their work. Soon, manga creators who upload their work to Canvas will be able to use an AI-powered translation tool to localize their scripts into English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and German. A beta version of the translation feature - … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google’s TurboQuant has the internet joking about Pied Piper from HBO's "Silicon Valley." The compression algorithm promises to shrink AI’s “working memory” by up to 6x, but it’s still just a lab experiment for now.

From female fruit being fart-shamed or even sexually assaulted, there’s a misogynistic undercurrent to the fruit slop microdramas, even as they appear to be cultivating genuine fans.

“If you take Dario, Sam, you take all the evangelists. I think they are literally consciously pulling back on their predictions,” Mark Warner said.

The US senator said on Tuesday that a moratorium would give lawmakers time to "ensure that AI is safe." Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will introduce a similar bill in the House in the weeks ahead.

Accenture and Wharton mapped AI's impact across 18 industries, concluding: the smarter your agents get, the more irreplaceable your best humans become.

Wikipedia will no longer allow editors to write or rewrite articles using AI. The update, which was added to Wikipedia's guidelines late last week, cites the tendency for AI-written articles to violate "several of Wikipedia's core content policies" as the reason for the ban. The change applies to the English version of Wikipedia and will still allow editors to use AI in certain scenarios. That includes using large language models to "suggest basic copyedits" to their writing, but only if it "does not introduce content of its own." Editors can also use AI to translate articles from another language's Wikipedia into English. However, they sti … Read the full story at The Verge.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache bottleneck." Every word a model processes must be stored as a high-dimensional vector in high-speed memory. For long-form tasks, this "digital cheat sheet" swells rapidly, devouring the graphics processing unit (GPU) video random access memory (VRAM) system used during inference, and slowing the model performance down rapidly over time. But have no fear, Google Research is here: yesterday, the unit within the search giant released its TurboQuant algorithm suite — a software-only breakthrough that provides the mathematical blueprint for extreme KV cache compression, enabling a 6x reduction on average in the amount of KV memory a given model uses, and 8x performance increase in computing attention logits, which could reduce costs for enterprises that implement it on their models by more than 50%

The enterprise voice AI market is in the middle of a land grab. ElevenLabs and IBM announced a collaboration just this week to bring premium voice capabilities into IBM's watsonx Orchestrate platform. Google Cloud has been expanding its Chirp 3 HD voices. OpenAI continues to iterate on its own speech synthesis. And the market underpinning all of this activity is enormous — voice AI crossed $22 billion globally in 2026, with the voice AI agents segment alone projected to reach $47.5 billion by 2034, according to industry estimates. On Thursday morning, Mistral AI entered that fight with a fundamentally different proposition. The Paris-based AI startup released Voxtral TTS, what it calls the first frontier-quality, open-weight text-to-speech model designed specifically for enterprise use. Where every major competitor in the space operates a proprietary, API-first business — enterprises rent the voice, they don't own it — Mistral is releasing the full model weights, inviting companies to

OpenAI has paused plans to release a sexualized "adult mode" for ChatGPT, in its latest move to refocus on the company's core products. According to The Financial Times, the erotic chatbot has been shelved "indefinitely" after facing pushback from employees and investors due to the problematic and harmful effects sexualized AI content can have on society. This decision comes in the wake of OpenAI also discontinuing its text-to-video AI platform Sora, citing "internal discussion about our broader research priorities." It's the latest side quest to be dropped by the company after CEO Sam Altman declared a "code red" in December, suggestin … Read the full story at The Verge.

Enterprise data teams moving agentic AI into production are hitting a consistent failure point at the data tier. Agents built across a vector store, a relational database, a graph store and a lakehouse require sync pipelines to keep context current. Under production load, that context goes stale. Oracle, whose database infrastructure runs the transaction systems of 97% of Fortune Global 100 companies by the company's own count, is now making a direct architectural argument that the database is the right place to fix that problem. Oracle this week announced a set of agentic AI capabilities for Oracle AI Database, built around a direct architectural counter-argument to that pattern. The core of the release is the Unified Memory Core, a single ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability)-transactional engine that processes vector, JSON, graph, relational, spatial and columnar data without a sync layer. Alongside that, Oracle announced Vectors on Ice for native vector indexin

Less than a week into his tenure as Disney's newly-appointed CEO, Josh D'Amaro is already dealing with two separate crises that have cast a shadow over the company's future plans. OpenAI is shutting down its Sora image-generation program just months after Disney announced a $1 billion dollar collaboration to bake the tech into Disney Plus. And Fortnite maker Epic is laying off 1,000 employees at a time when we've heard basically nothing about the game studio's $1.5 billion investment deal with Disney to build a metaverse. Disney could still integrate generative AI into its streaming service, and we might end up seeing some version of the co … Read the full story at The Verge.

European lawmakers have voted to delay key parts of the EU AI Act, the bloc's flagship law for regulating artificial intelligence, while also backing proposals to ban nudify apps. The measures, approved by a large majority in the European Parliament, would push back compliance deadlines for developers of high-risk AI systems - those deemed to pose a "serious risk" to health, safety, or fundamental rights - until December 2027. Companies developing AI systems covered by sector-specific safety rules like toys or medical devices would have even longer to comply, with a proposed deadline of August 2028. Rules requiring providers to watermark A … Read the full story at The Verge.
