Al Jazeera launches new integrative AI model, 'The Core' Al Jazeera Media Network is launching a new integrative artificial intelligence (AI) model in collaboration with Google Cloud. Al Jazeera said on Sunday that it was expanding its collaboration with Google Cloud on the network's new initiative, dubbed "The Core", that will integrate AI into its news operations. "The Core" aims to shift the role of AI "from a passive tool to an active partner in journalism", Al Jazeera said. Relying on six pillars, the initiative will integrate AI systems to help Al Jazeera journalists process complex data, produce immersive content, gain access to analytical context and automate internal workflows, among other things. "Al Jazeera is committed to establishing a global technological ecosystem that cements our leadership in the AI era," said Sheikh Nasser bin Faisal Al Thani, director general of Al Jazeera Media Network.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Sinking feelings don't come much worse than when you think you delete something you really need. Many of us now have files synced to the cloud from our phones and laptops, but sometimes data can disappear from there too--maybe through a click of the wrong button or a swipe across the wrong menu option. If this happens to you, don't lose hope-most cloud storage services come with a deleted file restore function that's similar to the Recycle Bin on Windows and the Trash folder on macOS. It means that any files that you delete, deliberately or not, can be recovered without too much fuss.

Finally, he gave the summaries to his fine-tuned model, and he asked it to compose passages "in the style of Vauhini Vara." Going into all this, I was self-assured, even smug. I'd always felt that my style was original and, more important, that my books were totally distinct from one another. I figured that, even if the A.I. model could imitate my past books, it couldn't predict the style of the novel in progress. So, when Chakrabarty sent me the A.I.-generated imitations, I was genuinely confused.

LG TVs add'delete' option for Copilot The company's tools will allow Netflix subscribers to have avatars that can be used across games. Netflix is acquiring Estonian startup Ready Player Me, a company creating cross-game avatar tech that allows players to bring their digital personas with them to different games, the company's CEO Timmu Tõke shared in a LinkedIn post .

Neither company has shared when the avatar tech will be incorporated into Netflix's games or what games will support the feature when they do.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. There are plenty of annual recap lists circulating around this time of year, but few of them involve the amount of work put in by California's Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Over the past year, researchers guided remotely operated vehicles more than 3,000 feet down to survey the vast biodiversity within some of the oceans' deepest and darkest regions. The data and footage collected during these trips will help experts fill in the gaps towards understanding the planet's hardest-to-reach ecosystems. To celebrate the past 12 months of discoveries, MBARI released a video highlighting some of 2025's most stunning, strange, and mysterious creature sightings.

Could the AI industry be on the verge of its first major layoffs? Will China spread propaganda to slow the US data-center building boom? Where are AI agents headed? AI-powered robots are just one of the topics likely to grab headlines in 2026. When OpenAI declared a "code red" this month to refocus its teams on competing with Google, I couldn't help but think back to December three years ago when the companies' roles were reversed.
