Plus: Amazon has listed retailers' goods without their permission Last spring, 3,000 British soldiers deployed an invisible automated intelligence network, known as a "digital targeting web," as part of a NATO exercise called Hedgehog in the damp forests of Estonia's eastern territories. The system had been cobbled together over the course of four months--an astonishing pace for weapons development, which is usually measured in years. Its purpose is to connect everything that looks for targets--"sensors," in military lingo--and everything that fires on them ("shooters") to a single, shared wireless electronic brain. Eighty years after total war last transformed the continent, the Hedgehog tests signal a brutal new calculus of European defense. But leaning too much on this new mathematics of warfare could be a risky bet. This story is from the next print issue of magazine.

The company also introduced Apple Home support and natural language automations at CES. Philips Hue has introduced a new software feature called SpatialAware at CES 2026 designed to ensure that all the lights in a space are in harmony with each other. Available exclusively for the Hue Bridge Pro, it takes into account each light point in a room and tailors the colors to ensure a natural representation. In a sunset scene, for example, the lights on one side of the room emit warm yellow tones to mimic the setting sun, while the ceiling lights on the opposite side reflect darker shades, the company wrote on its blog. The new feature is set to launch in the spring of 2026. To use the feature, you scan a room with your smartphone camera and use augmented reality to determine the positions of individual lights.

AI chatbots miss urgent issues in queries about women's health AI models such as ChatGPT and Gemini fail to give adequate advice for 60 per cent of queries relating to women's health in a test created by medical professionals Many women are using AI for health information, but the answers aren't always up to scratch Commonly used AI models fail to accurately diagnose or offer advice for many queries relating to women's health that require urgent attention.

The queries were written by 17 women's health researchers, pharmacists and clinicians from the US and Europe. The answers were reviewed by the same experts. Any questions that the models failed at were collated into a benchmarking test of AI models' medical expertise that included 96 queries.

Amazon.com is using an experimental artificial intelligence tool to duplicate independent sellers' product listings, sometimes without their knowledge, then make purchases on behalf of Amazon customers. Sometime around Christmas, Sarah Burzio noticed that the holiday sales bump for her stationery business included some mysterious new customers: a flurry of orders from anonymous email addresses associated with Amazon.com. Burzio, who doesn't sell her products on the retail giant's site, soon discovered that Amazon had duplicated her product listings and made purchases on behalf of Amazon customers under email addresses that read like gibberish followed by buyforme.amazon. I didn't worry about, it to be honest," she said. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
