Robot with lab-grown brain, developed in China, performs crucial tasks

Researchers from China’s Tianjin University and Southern University of Science and Technology have reportedly developed a robot with a lab-grown artificial brain. According to local media, the ‘brain-on-chip’ technology has been used to train the machine to perform various tasks. Scientists have reportedly combined brain organoid with a neural interface chip to power the complex … Read more

Microsoft’s new Copilot AI agents act as virtual workers to automate tasks

Microsoft will soon allow companies and developers to build AI-powered copilots that can work as virtual workers and perform tasks automatically. Instead of Copilot sitting idly by waiting for queries, it will be able to do things like monitor email inboxes and automate a series of tasks or data entry that employees would normally have … Read more
