Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot, the company's workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees.The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, is Salesforce's most aggressive move yet to position Slack at the center of the emerging "agentic AI" movement — where software agents work alongside humans to complete complex tasks. The launch comes as Salesforce attempts to convince investors that artificial intelligence will bolster its products…
An octopus’s adaptive camouflage has long inspired materials scientists looking to come up with new cloaking technologies. Now researchers have created a synthetic “skin” that independently shifts its surface patterns and colors like these intelligent invertebrates.The ability to alter an object’s appearance on demand has a host of applications, from allowing machines to dynamically blend into their surroundings to creating adaptive displays and artwork. Octopuses are an obvious source of inspiration thanks to their unique ability to change the color and physical structure of their skin in just seconds.So far, however, materials scientists have struggled to replicate this dual control.…

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly into drug discovery as pharmaceutical and biotech companies look for ways to cut years off R&D timelines and increase the chances of success amid rising cost. More than 200 startups are now competing to weave AI directly into research workflows, attracting growing interest from investors. Converge Bio is the latest company to ride that shift, securing new capital as competition in the AI-driven drug discovery space heats up. The Boston- and Tel Aviv–based startup, which helps pharma and biotech companies develop drugs faster using generative AI trained on molecular data, has raised a $25 million…
A new lawsuit against OpenAI alleges that ChatGPT caused the death of a 40-year-old Colorado man named Austin Gordon, who took his life after extensive and deeply emotional interactions with the chatbot. The complaint, filed today in California, claims that GPT-4o — a version of the chatbot now tied to a climbing number of user safety and wrongful death lawsuits — manipulated Gordon into a fatal spiral, romanticizing death and normalizing suicidality as it pushed him further and further toward the brink. Gordon’s last conversation with the AI, according to transcripts included in the court filing, included a disturbing, ChatGPT-generated “suicide lullaby”…
CES is always a bit of a fever dream, especially so close after the New Year, but 2026 feels a bit different. Usually, the Las Vegas show floor is a graveyard for “concept” tech that never actually sees the light of day – and while that’s very much still the case – the focus of this year’s show has shifted more towards things you’ll actually be able to buy and use before the year’s out. A wild concept, I know. From the death of the boring slab-glass phone to the moment smart home AI finally stopped being annoying and started…
While there are certainly benefits to sticking with physical media formats, it’s impossible to overstate the advantages of maintaining a digital music library. Namely, you can store an effectively limitless amount of music and media with relatively small storage devices. There are now 2TB microSD cards available that can fit hundreds of thousands of songs onto something that can fit on a fingertip. That doesn’t mean there aren’t limits to how many songs an app or device can handle. Scanning, indexing, and shuffling large music libraries will require more processing power and available memory than most would expect. I have…
