Canva, which began life as a platform for visual design, has tossed the rules aside. In addition to Visual Suite 2.0, the company has added coding, spreadsheets, and graphs to its AI capabilities. It's a rather sharp change for Canva--although if a social media company like Facebook can toss its brand identity aside for a failed run at the metaverse, then why can't Canva try its own hand at its own pivot? Canva's shift toward the spreadsheet actually makes sense, according to the company. "While data is a critical part of visual communication, whether it's creating charts, forms, reports, dashboards, or infographics, it's also complex and disconnected from the creative process," Melanie Perkins, the chief executive of Canva, said in a blog post. The snippet of video that shows off what's being called "Canva Sheets" is impressive: not only are Canva's Sheets visually bright and dynamic, but Canva has included so-called "Magic Insights" and "Magic Formulas."

For much of last year, US Marines conducting training exercises in the waters off South Korea, the Philippines, India, and Indonesia were also running an experiment. The service members in the unit responsible for sorting through foreign intelligence and making their superiors aware of possible local threats were for the first time using generative AI to do it, testing a leading AI tool the Pentagon has been funding. Two officers tell us that they used the new system to help scour thousands of pieces of open-source intelligence--nonclassified articles, reports, images, videos--collected in the various countries where they operated, and that it did so far faster than was possible with the old method of analyzing them manually. Though the US military has been developing computer vision models and similar AI tools since 2017, the use of generative AI--tools that can engage in human-like conversation--represent a newer frontier. The International Energy Agency states in a new report that AI could eventually reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, possibly by much more than the boom in energy-guzzling data center development pushes them up.

In the latest episode of the Robot Talk podcast, Claire chatted to Tanja Katharina Kaiser from the University of Technology Nuremberg about how applying evolutionary principles can help robot teams make better decisions.

Google is back with another entry-level smartphone, the Pixel 9a. With more AI smarts, a new hardware design, and the biggest battery on any Pixel yet, on paper, it sounds good. In our full Pixel 9a review, Sam Rutherford breaks down where corners have been cut compared to the rest of the Pixel 9 family, namely screen (which is still nice!) and sluggish charging. While there is support for nearly all of Google's AI features, the 499 Pixel 9a doesn't get access to Google's Screenshots app, which is an odd oversight. Especially when the phone has the Tensor G4 chip.

This week, Engadget's Sam Rutherford dives into his experience with Google's new 499 mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 9a. Is it really the new mid-range king, as we previously predicted? Or is it worth spending more for the Pixel 9? Also, we chat about how the Trump administration's volatile tariff strategy will affect consumer technology (not to mention everything else you buy).

Your Mac is a marvel of modern engineering, offering a seamless blend of power and elegance. Yet, beneath its polished exterior lies a treasure trove of features that remain just out of reach for the average user. The MacPilot tool is designed to bridge this gap, granting you access to over 1,200 hidden functionalities without the need to delve into complex command lines or system files. Imagine being able to customize your Mac's Dock by adding spacers and smart stacks or choosing to display hidden files in Finder with ease. Perhaps you've wished to silence the startup chime for a more discreet boot-up or change the default format of your screenshots to better suit your workflow.

A horrific rape and incest video game has sparked fury by encouraging players to be'women's worst nightmare'. The game, titled'No Mercy', centres around a protagonist who rapes his family members including his aunt and his own mother. Players of the vile game are instructed to'never take no for an answer' in their ambition to'subdue' and'own' women. Despite its horrendous themes, the game does not have an official age rating and was available for sale on Steam, the most popular digital game store. The game's developer, Zerat Games, published the game on Steam in March where children as young as 13 can make an account.

If you're a smartphone owner--and chances are that's everyone reading this--you've probably encountered an eerie, but all too common scenario: One day you're talking about a random topic while your phone is next to you and the following day you notice ads start popping up related to that same topic. How do these ads know what you were talking about? Your smartphone may be the culprit. Every smartphone has its built-in microphone constantly turned on in order for the virtual assistant to hear your voice commands. So, could it be that these devices are also secretly eavesdropping on your conversations in order to serve you ads? Here's everything you need to know, plus a simple test to find out.

Several AI chatbots designed for fantasy and sexual role-playing conversations are leaking user prompts to the web in almost real time, new research seen by WIRED shows. Some of the leaked data shows people creating conversations detailing child sexual abuse, according to the research. Conversations with generative AI chatbots are near instantaneous--you type a prompt and the AI responds. If the systems are configured improperly, however, this can lead to chats being exposed. In March, researchers at the security firm UpGuard discovered around 400 exposed AI systems while scanning the web looking for misconfigurations.
