Amazon finally launches the 250 Ring Drone Cam and also the Ring Rover Cam

Engadget

It's been at least six years since Amazon first teased an in-home security camera in the form of a drone, but Ring founder Jamie Siminoff says that his company has actually been working on a drone concept since 2016. That's before Amazon even acquired Ring in 2018, and about a decade in the making. After some starts and stops, including the various reveals and tests over the years, Siminoff believes the Ring Drone Cam is finally ready for the general public. It will retail for $249.99 and ship on January 27, 2027. The camera is part of a pair of devices launching as part of the Ring Robotics category of autonomous, mobile security that Amazon is also unveiling today.

Apple Home's new AI summaries for security cameras cost more than you'd think

Engadget

With the release of iOS 27, Apple is deploying its much-anticipated Siri AI suite of features across its software ecosystem. One noteworthy change is coming to Apple HomeKit, as the Cupertino company injects Apple Intelligence into its home security camera system. The upgrade launches Apple's video summary feature, where you can generate descriptions of videos caught on your home security system. The feature groups together related clips across multiple cameras for a comprehensive picture of a specific event, allowing you to easily review events that occur at your home. For instance, Apple's press release announcing the feature shows a man identified as Robert arriving at a home with a fruit bowl of fruit, an example showcasing how HomeKit's Apple Intelligence and Face Recognition software work together to generate these summaries.


Fake and divisive ads proliferate in Israel's first AI election

The Japan Times

Fake and divisive ads proliferate in Israel's first AI election Artificial intelligence-crafted distortions are saturating the Israeli information environment just weeks before the country's most consequential elections in decades. In a recent video widely circulated online, Israel's top justices and its attorney general are seen being dragged by security guards from a chaotic anti-government protest that never took place. The 33 seconds of emotionally-charged footage was originally posted by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a fierce opponent of the judiciary, and triggered an immediate backlash. Critics said it incited violence, while supporters said it was justified because they accuse the leaders of Israel's legal system of a left-wing plot to stymie the government's policies. But the depicted scenes are fake -- no such protest took place and the video carries a tell-tale watermark to identify content made using artificial intelligence.
