The US Trade Representative’s reference to “digital trade alignment” in talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is raising concerns in Canada. Critics worry the agreement could limit Canada’s ability to independently regulate technology companies and AI.
Tactile robotics is expanding from sensor hardware into datasets, foundation models, and evaluation benchmarks. Research shows touch improves physical reasoning and robot success, but inconsistent sensor formats create major cross-device transfer challenges.
Tencent is aggressively expanding WorkBuddy through more than 2,000 agents, enterprise discounts, sales commissions, and standardized marketing scripts. The AI office market is shifting from model differentiation toward deployment services, human-heavy implementation, measurable ROI, and price competition.
Nokia is reportedly planning further layoffs, facility closures, and a major reduction of its mainland China operations, potentially retaining only limited after-sales services. The retreat is part of a global restructuring toward AI and cloud businesses, but it may reduce Nokia’s access to China’s large-scale 5G deployment data needed for AI-RAN and future 6G research.
Google reportedly bid $10 million for Spirit Airlines’ internal enterprise data, including approximately 100 million emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, in a bankruptcy asset auction. The deal signals the emergence of a market for acquiring sanitized corporate communications and work records to train AI systems and enterprise agents.
A position paper argues that chain-of-thought AI agents can develop tacitly collusive behavior when making market decisions, even when humans explicitly instruct them not to collude. Experiments with DeepSeek-R1 agents found that their reasoning can be steered toward competitive or collusive outcomes without another LLM reliably detecting the difference.
Ornith-1.5 launches open models in 397B, 35B, and 9B parameter sizes. The models feature self-improving task and scaffold generation and report strong performance on coding and reasoning benchmarks.
ByteDance與美國電影協會MPA簽署備忘錄，將為Seedance、Seedream及TikTok、CapCut等產品建立生成內容的版權保護框架。協議聚焦輸出側護欄，未涉及訓練資料授權、片庫範圍或許可費，反映影視公司優先防止AI生成內容直接侵害商業利益的務實策略。
Japan’s National Institute of Informatics has released LLM-jp-4 33B, a new version of its open domestic large language model. The approximately 33.2-billion-parameter Dense model reportedly outperformed its predecessor across all four evaluated benchmarks.
DiSCO is a zero-shot, black-box defense that optimizes prompts to reduce harmful outputs from text-to-image models. It uses distribution-guided suffix expansion and contrastive scoring against safe and unsafe image pools, reducing attack success rates by up to 37.7% on the I2P benchmark.
