Nurturing agentic AI beyond the toddler stage

MIT Technology Review

The promise of autonomous agentic AI requires significant changes in the governance landscape. Parents of young children face a lot of fears about developmental milestones, from infancy through adulthood. The number of months it takes a baby to learn to talk or walk is often used as a benchmark for wellness, or an indicator of additional tests needed to properly diagnose a potential health condition. A parent rejoices over the child's first steps and then realizes how much has changed when the child can quickly walk outside, instead of slowly crawling in a safe area inside. Suddenly safety, including childproofing, takes a completely different lens and approach. Generative AI hit toddlerhood between December 2025 and January 2026 with the introduction of no code tools from multiple vendors and the debut of OpenClaw, an open source personal agent posted on GitHub.


Why physical AI is becoming manufacturing's next advantage

MIT Technology Review

Why physical AI is becoming manufacturing's next advantage From simulation driven development to real world execution, Microsoft and NVIDIA are helping manufacturers leverage AI to cross the industrial frontier with confidence. For decades, manufacturers have pursued automation to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and stabilize operations. That approach delivered meaningful gains, but it is no longer enough. Today's manufacturing leaders face a different challenge: how to grow amid labor constraints, rising complexity, and increasing pressure to innovate faster without sacrificing safety, quality, or trust. The next phase of transformation will not be defined by isolated AI tools or individual robots, but by intelligence that can operate reliably in the physical world . This is where physical AI--intelligence that can sense, reason, and act in the real world--marks a decisive shift.


Apple MacBook Pro Review (M5 Max, 16-inch): The Fastest MacBook Yet

WIRED

A more exciting MacBook Pro is waiting in the wings, but the M5 Max shows the continued success of Apple Silicon. The M5 Max is a monster performer. Gaming is surprisingly smooth, and on-device AI speeds up. The display, keyboard, ports, and speakers remain top-of-class. The MacBook Pro is in its awkward era.

Gear Computers 10 things to know about Apple's new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros The latest versions of Apple's MacBook Pro laptops include M5 chips with revamped architecture to bring performance upgrades across the board. The new computers look similar, but the guts have gotten revamped. We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Apple's latest MacBook Pro refresh landed today with two new processors, the M5 Pro and M5 Max, built on what the company calls its Fusion Architecture. We have already been using the vanilla M5 chip in the latest version of the Apple Vision Pro headset, but these new MBP models crank up the power level even more.
