The Mexican city of Guadalupe, which will host portions of the 2026 World Cup, recently showed off four new robot dogs that will help provide security during matches at BBVA Stadium. The K9-X "robodogs" will help officers patrol during the 2026 World Cup this summer. Authorities in Mexico's Guadalupe, Nuevo León, this week unveiled four robot dogs that will be part of the security devices at BBVA Stadium, one of the three Mexican venues of the 2026 World Cup . The robot dogs are not armed, but each unit incorporates video cameras, night vision, and communication systems that are used to issue warnings or instructions. Its function is to deter illegal activity, detect unusual behavior, identify suspicious objects, control crowds, and immediately alert law enforcement when the system deems necessary. Robot dogs operate semi-autonomously: They do not make decisions or execute movements on their own.

An artist has created a'very realistic' image of the Virgin Mary using AI, showing her as a teenage girl with long black hair, dark eyes and a darker complexion. Miguel Ángel Omaña Rojas, from Mexico, reconstructed the face of the Virgin of Guadalupe as she appeared on a cloth worn by St Juan in Mexico more than 700 years ago. The technology spent weeks analyzing the image of Mary, studying each component' to'capture gestures and expressions in a dynamic way.' The image of the Virgin Mary, they said, allows the world'to finally see what the most famous woman... looked like in real life.' While Mary was believed to be Middle Eastern, cultures have changed her appearance to fit their local populations, such as why the Virgin of Guadalupe is portrayed with a combination of Indigenous and European heritage.
