Research on hybrid precipitation forecasting has shown that combining machine learning with local or indigenous forecasting knowledge can outperform scientific or local forecasts alone in agricultural settings govinsider.asia/intl-en/articl…

Humanoid robots, designed to mimic human movement and capabilities, have been making headlines in recent years, from their use as baggage handlers at Japanese airports to Tesla’s big bet on its Optimus humanoid. Market watchers have predicted that the machines will change the world over the next decade and forecast that the industry will grow 100-fold, as AI’s physical capabilities evolve. One investor said consumer stocks were the path to unlocking value from it. Click here to read more: cnb.cx/4vlFMTq

La nueva encuesta de @HarvardBiz sobre cómo usamos la IA en 2026 rompe un mito: la mayoría no la emplea para “grandes reinvenciones”, sino para cientos de microtareas diarias. Es decir, para resúmenes, borradores, correos, análisis rápidos de datos. El problema ya no es la adopción, es la calidad del uso. Crece el riesgo de dejar que la IA piense por nosotros (“thinkslop”) y de usarla como soporte emocional sin filtros. En las empresas, hay mucha actividad y pocos cambios realmente transformadores. La pregunta para líderes y profesionales no es si usar IA, sino cómo evitar convertirla en muleta cognitiva y aprovecharla como palanca de mejor juicio y ambición intelectual. ¿Tú para qué usas la IA en tu día a día?

Y no se trata solo de tecnología, sino también de derechos: el gobierno impulsa la Declaración de ética y buenas prácticas para el uso de la IA en México, basada en los “Principios de Chapultepec”, que pone en el centro la protección de datos personales y la transparencia.

🚨 "Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI" by @CarissaVeliz is a must-read for everyone interested in AI, and it's my AI Book Club's 38th recommended book: Carissa is a Professor of Philosophy at Oxford, so, as we would expect, the book is beautifully written and rich in historical and philosophical references, which will help you see recent AI developments through new lenses. The bridges she builds between the present, the past, and the future (and the mystical idea of 'prophecy') offer an interesting and original framework for understanding the ethical implications of emerging AI systems and the possible futures of AI. Also, as I recommended last month, don't miss her TED Talk "Beware the Power of Prediction" (available on YouTube). It's a nice warm-up before you start reading the book. 👉To receive all recommendations and see the full book list, join the 5,400+ members of my AI book club below (it's free).

Far from AI automating all jobs, here’s a reminder that there are not enough people to build Intelligence. Remember, with more Intelligence we can just do more, and more complex things too. AI won’t erase all jobs.

Technology is changing the world order at an exponential pace. But this isn’t just a story about machines. It’s a story about people. Right now, there’s a global race for elite AI talent—engineers commanding pay packages in the hundreds of millions. But beyond the frontier labs,

La Ciudad de México ya decidió estar del lado del futuro: hoy la inteligencia artificial se impulsa como política pública. Ya opera el Centro Público de Formación en IA con capacitación gratuita en datos y ciberseguridad para miles de jóvenes de la ciudad y de todo el país.

El presidente Trump ha firmado la orden ejecutiva que busca abordar las amenazas de ciberseguridad de la inteligencia artificial, pero con un escrutinio gubernamental menos avanzado que el que la Casa Blanca había planteado en anteriores borradores. La orden, firmada en privado, pide a algunas empresas de IA que sometan sus nuevos y poderosos modelos a una revisión gubernamental voluntaria 30 días antes de liberarlos al público. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Technology is changing the world order at an exponential pace. But this isn’t just a story about machines. It’s a story about people. Right now, there’s a global race for elite AI talent—engineers commanding pay packages in the hundreds of millions. But beyond the frontier labs, we also need builders. We need mechanics, electricians, systems engineers. Industrial Intelligence is exactly that—industrial. It will be built by people who can wire a data center, scale energy systems, and assemble the physical backbone of AI at scale. Much of the AI discourse is fixated on job loss. But in reality, we don’t have enough of the right talent to build what’s coming. The question is: where are they? And how do we empower them? Because even in an era defined by machines, it’s still people who shape the future.

Most people are not paying attention, but China has more industrial robots than the rest of the world COMBINED. This will likely be the main differentiating factor in AI over the next few years (NOT chips). It's unclear to me if any other country will be able to catch up.

We are living through three simultaneous transformations. The most consequential technology change since the birth of humanity. The most significant world order transition since the Cold War. And the largest industrial infrastructure built out in history. But these are not separate stories, they are all part of a single story. Now the key question at the center of it is whether open societies, the ones that require consent, debate, democratic participation, can build fast enough and fairly enough to stay sovereign. The biggest risk is not that we fail technically, it is not that we hit a wall, it is not even that China or some other rival outpaces us in raw capability. I think the biggest risk is that Western democracies look at this moment, see what is required of them -- the energy build out, the industrial mobilization, the policy reforms, the investment and the political courage to drive frontier Intelligence into the hand of every citizen - and they fail to rise to the occasion.

El progreso técnico, valioso en sí mismo, requiere un discernimiento sobre la visión antropológica que lo guía y los fines que persigue. Si el desarrollo tecnológico avanza sin una adecuada maduración ética y social, puede suceder que aumenten los medios sin que crezca en la misma medida la humanidad: se “tiene más”, pero no se “es más”, y la persona corre el riesgo de ser valorada principalmente en base al rendimiento que ofrece. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

🇪🇺 Mistral is thinking of developing its own chips in the future, for greater independence and to lower costs. Not now, it wouldn’t be realistic yet. But Mistral is growing, from €200M revenue last year to €1B targeted in 2026. “Owning the chips may come, I think it should come at some point, but for now we are relying on Nvidia.”

Generative AI doesn’t run on magic. It runs on massive data pipelines built on privacy violations by design. Our new @Amnesty report exposes how big tech’s AI systems are powered by surveillance, data extraction, and abuse of people’s rights, at scale. We researched the models powering some of the most popular publicly available standalone generative AI tools, including GPT 3 by Open AI, Google’s Gemini, Meta’s Llama, DeepSeek and tools by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. This is not innovation at any cost. It comes at a high price: our human rights. Read the report: amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
