Figure AI Is Supercharging Humanoid RobotsāHere's How It Works
Fresh off its split from OpenAI, Figure AI has introduced Helix, a new AI system that lets humanoid robots grab anything, work together, and respond to spoken commandsāwithout training or coding. This will make it possible for robots to become more capable over time without having to update their systems or train on new data. It combines reasoning with real-time motor control, allowing robots to improve over time. A demo showed two robots correctly sorting groceries without prior knowledge of the items. This is powered by Figureās Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, which integrates perception, language, and movement for precise, adaptable performance. This breakthrough brings humanoid robots closer to real-world versatility.
Spotify now offers its listeners AI-narrated audiobooks
Spotify has expanded its audiobook offerings by partnering with ElevenLabs, an AI voice software company, to introduce AI-narrated audiobooks. This collaboration allows authors to use ElevenLabs' platform to generate audiobook narrations in 29 languages, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional human narration. Spotify aims to make audiobook production more accessible, especially for independent authors and older titles that might not have been converted to audio formats due to cost constraints. All AI-narrated audiobooks on Spotify will be clearly labeled to inform listeners of their digital narration.
Google develops AI co-scientist to aid researchers
Google has introduced an advanced AI tool designed to act as a virtual collaborator for biomedical scientists. The tool, tested at Stanford University and Imperial College London, leverages advanced reasoning to analyze vast amounts of literature and generate novel scientific hypotheses. Developed by Googleās AI unit, DeepMind, the system has already demonstrated potential in an experiment on liver fibrosis, where all AI-suggested approaches showed promising activity in inhibiting disease causes. Google stated that the tool could enhance expert-generated solutions over time, accelerating scientific discovery.
Apple announces new iPhone with AI features at lower cost
Apple has announced the iPhone 16e, a more affordable alternative to its flagship iPhone 16, featuring the same processor and storage options but with fewer cameras and lower overall specs. Priced at Ā£599 in the UK, it is Ā£200 cheaper than the iPhone 16, though significantly more expensive than the original iPhone SE at launch. Apple aims to drive AI adoption with this model, integrating Apple Intelligence into a lower-priced device. Analysts believe this could broaden AI accessibility, but there is skepticism about whether AI features alone will significantly boost sales. The iPhone 16e will be available for pre-order from 21 February in 59 countries as Apple seeks to reignite consumer excitement amid declining iPhone sales.
