The world's busiest railway station, located at the heart of Tokyo in Japan, is testing whether mobile robotic rubbish bins can ease the workload of sanitation workers, a rail operator representative said on Friday. Shinjuku Station is a sprawling transport complex with multiple rail firms that serve more than 2.7 million passengers every day, and holds the Guinness World Record for the world's busiest rail station. In a part of the station operated by East Japan Railway, the bins are emptied manually more than 10 times a day -- though the number of wastebaskets has been reduced in recent years for cleanliness and security reasons. JR East is testing three automated bins, each standing just over one metre (three feet) tall and moving at a cautious 20 centimeters per second. "We wanted to test how well something like this can operate automatically and safely in an environment like Shinjuku Station," Shinya Kawamichi, a JR East research official, said.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks to reporters about Macklemore ban and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's role in it. Based on the way American attitudes have shifted toward a certain country in the Middle East, Robert Kraft likely lost a lot of fans with a recent decision. But that doesn't mean it was the wrong decision. The Patriots' owner said Monday that Macklemore will be removed from two of Ed Sheeran's shows later this month at Gillette Stadium (which Kraft also owns) for what he deemed hate speech toward the Jewish community.

Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine has launched a barrage of drones on Moscow and other regions as Russia opened polls for its first parliamentary elections since the start of the war. More than 350 Ukrainian drones targeted the Russian capital on Friday morning, Moscow's mayor reported. With the vote potentially offering the Kremlin a measure of the public mood over the invasion, Kyiv has maintained its bid to use air attacks to have Russians feel the impact of the conflict politically, socially and economically. Only political parties that back the war have been registered to run.

Russia's State Duma elections will be held in occupied territories of Ukraine including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia without OSCE election observers.

China's fears about the technology are increasingly distinct from those of the U.S. What does that mean for international coöperation? On Sunday, China's Minister of State Security published an article in a state-run magazine that warned about artificial intelligence posing a threat to the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (C.C.P.). This coincided with increasing concern among Americans that A.I. could pose existential risks to humanity, and rising calls for Washington to regulate it. Many of those pushing for regulation work at leading A.I. companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and they have received support from a broad ideological coalition on Capitol Hill. But there remains little appetite for regulation in the White House; President Trump has said that the United States must accelerate A.I. development to outpace China. I recently spoke by phone with Kyle Chan, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who focusses on Chinese technology policy.

Once the music industry's biggest headache, Napster's next act is bringing AI to the classroom. The name that struck fear into the hearts of music executives in the early dotcom era may be coming to a classroom near you. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, it has signed a strategic partnership with Gems Education to build AI agents and digital personas for education. In doing so, the once-notorious music-sharing company is bringing its technology into the classroom and testing how AI can augment the work of both teachers and students. Today's Napster, of course, bears no resemblance to its original incarnation as a peer-to-peer music-file-sharing service.
