The initiative, part of a series of recent contracts with technology companies, seeks to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) ability to monitor people through their social media to levels that threaten to violate constitutional rights. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a solicitation seeking private companies to deploy at least 30 analysts to ICE monitoring centers in Williston, Vermont, near Canada, and in Santa Ana, California. The request is for a round-the-clock surveillance operation using the latest technology, including artificial intelligence, to support efforts to increase deportations.

"If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you?" - David Gates/Bread I don't know if humans created paintings before they created language, but it's safe to say that telling stories through images is one of our oldest forms of communication. Fast forward to today and the leaders of the out-of-home advertising industry - "it's not just billboards anymore" - are working to modernize their business with the latest developments in artificial intelligence and advertising technology. How are they doing? To answer that I spent some time with a group of folks at the vanguard of the business.

Three experts in the power of technology to drive economic growth have been awarded this year's Nobel prize in economics. Joel Mokyr of Northwestern University secured half of the 11m Swedish kronor (867,000) prize, with the rest split between two other academics: Philippe Aghion of the College de France, Insead business school and the London School of Economics; and Peter Howitt of Brown University.

Since it takes after its sibling, the rotatable Yamaha MOTOROiD:Λ motorcycle can also bring back itself to its original position without the rider's help. It uses AI to control its movement, and the system adjusts the vehicle's balance and turns as well as collects data on how it performs on the road so it can improve itself. In this case, the vehicle learns from its own patterns and, on top of that, learns from the cruising habits of its owners.

German Minister for Digital Affairs Karsten Wildberger emphasizes that Europe's call for digital sovereignty should not be confused with protectionism. According to him, Europe must develop its own digital infrastructure. This is to reduce dependence on American technology companies. That does not mean that cooperation with the United States should be ruled out. In an interview with Reuters, Wildberger explains that Germany and the European Union can no longer be mere spectators or customers in the digital sector, but must play an active role themselves.

Few names in automotive history carry the weight of Pininfarina. The studio has shaped some of the world's most iconic cars - from Ferraris to Alfa Romeos - blending emotional design with aerodynamic precision. With the Turbio, Pininfarina moves into uncharted territory, merging its hand-drawn elegance with AI-assisted engineering. The design team leveraged machine learning and generative modeling to refine the car's proportions, downforce, and weight distribution, using algorithms to simulate thousands of variations before arriving at a final form.

Consumer spending, while solid, is slowing, as tariffs are being imposed worldwide. The United States is finally responding to tariffs imposed upon it, and a host of additional factors are fanning the flames of another 2025 correction. Job gains have plummeted, as much of the data is perceived to be inaccurate. To be frank, it is high time that a correction similar to the one earlier this year comes in to help cleanse the market of the recklessness ignited by artificial intelligence almost three years ago.

Cyberpsychology investigates the psychological processes related to technologically interconnected human behavior, informing disciplines such as human-computer interaction (HCI), computer science, engineering, psychology, and media and communications studies.5 The field explores how digital technologies influence and transform human cognition, emotion, and social interaction, as well as the reciprocal impact these human elements have on technologies. At its core, cyberpsychology seeks to understand the dynamic interplay between humans and technology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major disruptive force, transforming businesses and reshaping our daily lives worldwide. Alphabet and Amazon are widely seen as key beneficiaries of this revolution. Alphabet (through Google Cloud and Workspace) and Amazon (through AWS) serve enterprise markets. Still, they are also heavily exposed to consumer-driven segments, such as digital advertising and e-commerce. On the other hand, Microsoft is more enterprise-centric, with a business model primarily based on seat-based subscriptions and long-term contracts.

Together, these teams would operate as intelligence arms of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations division. They will receive tips and incoming cases, research individuals online, and package the results into dossiers that could be used by field offices to plan arrests. The scope of information contractors are expected to collect is broad. Draft instructions specify open-source intelligence: public posts, photos, and messages on platforms from Facebook to Reddit to TikTok.
