Jensen Huang says Nvidia achieved AGI, again — not that it matters
On Nvidia's earnings call Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang casually announced the company had "achieved AGI," one of the tech industry's ultimate goals some of its biggest players have spent years chasing. Almost immediately, Huang dismissed the coveted milestone as "senseless." He's right. For the supposed finish line of the AI race, there is no consensus on what artificial general intelligence means, let alone how we'll know when we've actually got there, which makes achieving it equally arbitrary. Asked about OpenAI's pursuit of AGI, Huang said that when it comes to Nvidia, "for many tasks, we could say that we've already achieved AGI." … Read the full story at The Verge.
Google’s AI Mode can now track flight prices, help book hotels, and more
The updates indicate that Google is looking position to AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it's moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.
Americans are cheering for vigilantes who take down Flock cameras
Americans have declared war on Flock cameras. They've protested them, damaged them, and destroyed them. This is only the beginning. The spontaneous and decentralized nature of the vigilante protests is also what makes them difficult to suppress. There isn't a uniform method of disruption; people have done everything from unplugging, smashing, stealing, and spray-painting the surveillance devices to taking less destructive actions like physically blocking the cameras for hours. Some of the culprits have been caught, but that clearly hasn't dissuaded others from taking matters into their own hands. "Nonviolent direct action is a recognized … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google launches Pokémon Sleep special-edition Fitbit Air
The latest special-edition of Google's Fitbit Air is inspired by the Pok mon Sleep game, with a "Sleepy Blue" band emblazoned with a snoozing Pikachu. It's not exactly Snorlax blue, but matches the classic blue and gold of a Pok mon card pretty closely. The special-edition is available to preorder now for $129 and starts shipping September 15th. It's arriving as Pok mon celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, with a special-edition collection of playing cards set to launch the same week. This isn't the first wearable that can connect with Pok mon Sleep - the sleep tracking app supports dozens of wearables from Apple, Google, Garmin, and … Read the full story at The Verge.
Enterprise AI's real risk isn't autonomous agents. It's the complexity between them.
Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it.That’s because enterprises don t deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. That s the failure mode that should keep you up at night: a windy, complicated system nobody can see clearly enough to govern. But why do things get so opaque so quickly?Add a second agent to a system, and you ve added one connection. Add a tenth, and you haven t added ten connections, you ve potentially added dozens, because now any agent might call any other, and each of those calls can trigger a call somewhere else. Complexity doesn t creep up with agent headcount. It compounds with the number of paths between agents, and nobody s job is to draw that graph. A support ticket that used to touch one system might now pass through four a
OpenAI’s executive exodus has one big winner
Today on Decoder, I’m talking to Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field about some pure Decoder bait: the seemingly-endless org chart changes at OpenAI, and how all of them seem to consolidate power under cofounder Greg Brockman, the company’s president. While Sam Altman is the CEO and still OpenAI’s most public face, Brockman has amassed enormous power and influence within the top ranks of the company as other senior leaders have left in rapid succession these past few months. Verge subscribers, don t forget you get exclusive access to ad-free Decoder wherever you get your podcasts. Head here. Not a subscriber? You can sign up here. Brockman now oversees the company’s entire consumer and enterprise product teams, including ChatGPT, Codex, and its major infrastructure build out. As Hayden recently reported, he is effectively now the day-to-day operational leader of OpenAI. This will have major effects on OpenAI as a company and its product strategy, at a time when it continues to cede g
Hugging Face’s new robot is an adorable rollerskating duck
Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has launched its second cute AI robot, the Microduck, a one-eyed biped standing just under 10 inches tall. It's available to preorder now for $399 in cream, graphite, lavender, and sky blue, and Pollen Robotics says it plans to start shipping the little robot "before Christmas 2026." Video demos of the Microduck show it picking up socks and markers, kicking around a ball, and zipping around on tiny rollerskates. Pollen Robotics says it can also "react to its surroundings" and follow around a laser pointer, or users can control it with a game controller. The Microduck's software is open-source, like Hugging Fa … Read the full story at The Verge.

Visa ships a security AI that patches production code before any human reviews it
Visa s open-source security harness now finds the vulnerability, writes the fix, and turns an adversarial panel on its own patch before any human reviews it. The whole loop ships on by default. A plain scan of the Visa Vulnerability Agentic Harness runs all 11 stages and edits source files in the target repo unless the operator caps it at detection.The announcement Thursday pairs the release with an expansion of the Visa Consulting Analytics advisory practice. Visa is shipping that default 18 days after Tenet Security demonstrated GhostJacking on the DEF CON 34 main stage, an attack chain in which an agent read an attacker s payload out of a log file and rewrote DNS with a valid credential. Two days earlier, Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam and project co-lead for the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, made the case in VentureBeat for the opposite default. The first thing I d do is put an authorization gate outside the model, Wilson said in written responses. The a

When agents act on their own, governance has to live in the data layer
Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually stops it?These are your agents, running on your models, touching your data in your infrastructure — and the responsibility for what they do sits with you. That responsibility can’t be met in hindsight or with a set of abstract policies that live on paper but not in practice. Agents need rules in the context of the moment, because they don’t exercise overriding judgment of their own actions.Consider a simple rule: Never open the car door. Followed literally, an agent could never get in or out of the car at all. But if you change the context (the car has just crashed, there’s a fire, someone is hurt and needs to get out), then the rule you actually want is the opposite. Context in t
