Vance says Trump'sending a message' to Iran with AI-generated video Share Vance says Trump'sending a message' to Iran with AI-generated video on social media An AI-generated video depicting missiles raining down on a key Iranian island to destroy what appears to be oil-processing infrastructure is meant as a warning to Iran, United States Vice President JD Vance says. President Donald Trump posted the video on his Truth Social account on Sunday night and on Monday followed up with a post saying Iran was "dead" and a "failed nation". "We know that they continue to shoot at commercial shipping. We continue to have a lot of tools at our disposal to prevent them from doing so or at least cut down on them from doing so, and that's what the president is saying," Vance told reporters at an Air Force base in Maryland.

AI could cause global economic downturn, Bank of England chief warns

BBC News

The governor of the Bank of England has warned G20 finance ministers that artificial intelligence could cause a global economic downturn and pose a significant cyber security risk to financial systems. Andrew Bailey said any collapse of growth in the AI sector could lead to a future market correction that spreads worldwide. In an open letter to finance ministers in the US on Monday, he said companies around the world should prepare for security breaches involving simultaneous disruption across multiple firms. Earlier this month, a group of 100 firms, including Google, Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI, urged countries and groups to beef up their cyber defences before AI grows powerful enough to override them. Bailey told the G20 finance ministers that a combination of highly priced stock markets, increased borrowing by investors, and the growing concentration of money into a small number of major technology companies could amplify any future market correction.

Engadget

In an era of hugely popular gimbal cameras like DJI's Osmo series, not to mention countless smartphone gimbals, Honor's Robot Phone is an ambitious attempt to combine that stabilization technology with the phone itself -- no peripheral needed. Its experimental new flagship phone is honestly less of a robot and more of a gimbal phone, but that would have been a terrible name. Is this the answer to countless content creators' dreams? When Honor revealed the device at MWC 2026 earlier this year, it was arguably the most exciting device on display at the Barcelona trade show. Despite the international reveal, the Robot Phone won't officially launch beyond China -- the device just went on sale there.
