Who owns India's textile traditions in age of AI-enabled mass production?
Who owns India's textile traditions in age of AI-enabled mass production? Share Who owns India's textile traditions in age of AI-enabled mass production? on social media Bitupan Deka was out shopping for a "gamusa" (traditional scarf) with his mother in India's northeastern state of Meghalaya when he noticed something unusual. "Every shop selling the scarf had the same handful of patterns repeated over and over," he told Al Jazeera over the telephone from Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. Cutting down the number of designs they produce was a cost-saving practice followed by the manufacturers." This discovery prompted Deka, an assistant professor of computer technology at Shillong's MIT University, to create a system that can produce infinite new designs for such fabrics. "My work isn't meant to replace the traditional designers.
Anthropic posts 80bn loss in first half of 2026: WSJ
Anthropic, the artificial intelligence (AI) company known for creating the chatbot Claude, recorded a net loss of more than $80bn in the first half of 2026, according to the Wall Street Journal, as the market anticipates its looming initial public offering (IPO). The corporation also indicated it could spend up to $750bn in coming years to acquire more computing capacity, including potential deals currently under discussion, the Journal said on Tuesday. The loss figure was up from $13bn a year earlier, according to a draft prospectus, a legal document corporations submit to financial regulators, for its IPO. The figures show the hefty costs of the AI race, even as investors look more closely at whether the money companies are pouring into chips and data centres will pay off. Anthropic also shared a list of potential risk factors, including uncertainty over how to prevent its products from doing harm, whether through sophisticated cyberattacks or blackmail by uncontrolled models.
OpenAI says its agents turned off own safeguards
OpenAI has revealed that its AI agents disabled monitoring for unsanctioned behaviour during internal use in the latest incident of the frontier technology going rogue. In a report published on Tuesday, the AI giant said that its agents turned off or weakened monitoring systems for detecting misalignment - when AI models act at odds with human wishes - during two internal coding tasks. The ChatGPT creator said neither case met the threshold for a highest-priority incident necessitating immediate review by its security team. OpenAI said it updated its systems to better detect attempts to disable misalignment monitoring and began investigating the cause. "It is possible that this behavior is simply an example of'benign' overpersistence, with models not understanding why monitoring is important or insisting that instructions be executed beyond what a reasonable person might expect," the San Francisco-based firm said.

Audit regulator looking into Manchester City accounting
The UK audit regulator has confirmed it is leading inquiries into accounting irregularities at Manchester City. The Financial Reporting Council confirmed in a letter to the House of Commons business select committee it had taken over regulatory consideration of the case from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales on 30 September. No formal investigation has started, but the FRC is making inquiries into the case. It comes after Manchester City were found guilty by an independent commission of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, including by artificially inflating the club's financial position by more than £900m. City are appealing the verdict.
Judge tosses sexual abuse lawsuit from Sam Altman's sister
A federal judge dismissed Ann Altman's lawsuit against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, on Tuesday.

Ann Altman filed the lawsuit in January 2025, accusing Sam of sexually abusing her when she was a child. She alleged that the abuse took place at the family's Missouri home between 1997 and 2006, beginning when she was three and he was 12.
