The first hotel run by robots will open its doors to the public next year. It comes as no surprise that it's happening in China – on the artificial island built for the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the cross-sea megaproject in the Pearl River Delta.

When employees spend their time fixing problems that AI can’t solve, customer service ends up enhancing AI.

After years of struggling to curb my screen time, apparently all I needed was a $59 hunk of plastic.

Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield seized the moment with full Cold War bravado. Declaring that “before man reaches the moon, mail will be delivered in hours from New York to California by guided missiles,” he framed the test as a bold preview of a futuristic postal age.

A company known for its AI image generation has made a surprise pivot – to consumer healthcare. Midjourney has announced it will offer a "new form of medical imaging" using echolocation to map the body, in a day-spa setting, with the first center to open to the public in 2027.

although respondents claimed that AI saved them 11 hours a week on average, only 13% reported any improvement in company performance.

Workers may also be participating in what Hinds calls “workplace theater,” in which they are “visibly performing work for bosses and colleagues, rather than focusing on the actual grind of getting things done.”
