In tests, robots using LingBot-VA showed remarkable adaptability, outperforming existing systems in complex tasks like folding clothes and precise object manipulation. The technology could accelerate development of more capable service robots.

A new study from Georgia Tech challenges popular fears about artificial intelligence wiping out humanity. Professor Milton Mueller argues that AI's development is shaped by social and political factors, not some inevitable technological destiny. The research highlights how physical limitations, legal frameworks, and the very nature of AI systems make sci-fi takeover scenarios highly improbable. Instead of worrying about robot overlords, we should focus on crafting smart policies to guide AI's development responsibly.

The Caribbean island of Anguilla, home to just 15,000 people, has struck digital gold with its .ai domain.
