Top 5 AI News of the week

Top 5 AI News of the week

The Week Humanity Tried to Keep Up (and Mostly Failed)

Another week, another batch of headlines proving that AI evolves faster than our coffee cools. Here are the Top 5 stories and a few curious bits you really didn’t see coming.

1. Windows 11 Just Became Self-Aware (Almost)

Microsoft’s new Copilot update lets your computer book your dinner, order groceries, and politely interrupt your meetings.
“Hey Copilot” is the new “Hey Siri,” except now it might also manage your calendar, write your report, and remind you to hydrate.

The OS isn’t just operating anymore. It’s observing. 👀

2. OpenAI + Broadcom = DIY Super-Brains

OpenAI no longer wants to rent GPUs. It’s building them.
Together with Broadcom, they’re designing custom chips that could run on 10 gigawatts of power.
Translation: if creativity doesn’t spark, at least the lights will stay on for half the planet.

3. California to Chatbots >>> Confess Your Nature

A new law (SB 243) makes it illegal for bots to pretend to be human.
From 2026, every chatbot in California must clearly admit, “I’m AI.”

Somewhere, millions of lonely users just sighed, “I knew it.”

4. IMF Warns The AI Bubble May Go Pop

The International Monetary Fund compared today’s AI hype to the early 2000s dot-com frenzy.
Billions are being poured into servers and startups. But only 5 % of companies actually see measurable ROI.

Moral of the story: when everyone shouts “future,” check who’s quietly selling the shovels.

5. The “AI Homeless Man” Hoax

A viral prank used generative AI to place a gaunt, ghostly figure into photos of cozy living rooms.
People freaked out and called 911.

Lesson learned: AI doesn’t need to take over the world. It just needs Photoshop 2.0, Wi-Fi and fakers .

And Elsewhere in the Rabbit Hole…

• MIT’s SCIGEN lets AI invent new materials. Think digital alchemy for quantum tech.
• “Workslop” is now a thing: over 40 % of employees receive AI-generated fluff that looks brilliant but says absolutely nothing.
• UK spy chief warns: the threat isn’t killer robots. It’s killer emails written by AI.
  

In short!

AI isn’t slowing down.
It’s booking dinner, building chips, and writing laws about itself ... all before breakfast.
Maybe humanity doesn’t need to “beat” AI.
Maybe we just need a nap and better firewalls.

📬 Stay tuned! Next week we’ll find out if the machines finally learned sarcasm.
