They will also work together to help schools use these AI tools effectively and responsibly. Google Cloud will also use Credly by Pearson for professional certifications.
Pearson and Google partner on AI for students and teachers
Pearson and Google are joining forces to develop new AI products and services for students and teachers. The collaboration aims to improve learning experiences using AI technology. This partnership will likely bring new tools and resources to the education sector.
Couple has baby with help from artificial intelligence
A couple struggling with infertility had a baby named Luis thanks to artificial intelligence. Edna had ovarian insufficiency, making pregnancy difficult. They used a new AI system at Hope IVF clinic in Mexico City. The AI and robotics automated in vitro fertilization, where AI guides a machine to inject sperm into the egg. Luis is the first baby conceived with AI's direct help, and the clinic has seen 18 successful births using this technology.
Snyk buys Invariant Labs to improve AI app security
Snyk acquired Invariant Labs to improve its AI security features. Invariant Labs helps create security standards for AI. They will join Snyk's AI Trust Platform to protect against new AI threats. Snyk Labs will research AI security, focusing on large language models and autonomous agents. The goal is to help companies manage risks related to AI systems in real-time.
Mobilicom and Palladyne AI team up for secure autonomous systems
Mobilicom and Palladyne AI are working together to offer cybersecurity and AI solutions for autonomous systems. They will combine Palladyne AI's software for drones and robots with Mobilicom's OS3 cybersecurity software.

Banks use AI carefully balancing risk and innovation
Banks like BNY are using AI but being careful because of risks. BNY created Eliza, an AI tool powered by GPT-4 and Gemini, to help employees. They also partnered with OpenAI to explore AI uses in finance. Banks are deciding whether to build AI tools themselves or use outside companies. AI helps banks analyze data and improve customer service, but they must manage risks like inaccurate information.
Army blocks Air Force AI over security concerns
The Army stopped the Air Force's AI chatbot, NIPRGPT, from its networks due to security concerns. The Army wants to make sure AI is used safely with real Army data. They launched their own secure AI platform called Army Enterprise LLM Workspace, powered by Ask Sage. This platform allows secure access to AI models with data protection. The Army's decision highlights the challenges of adopting new technologies like AI while ensuring data security.
AI versus AI how tech changes work school and online life
AI is creating new challenges in work, school, and online life. Job hunters use AI to create resumes, so employers use AI to screen them. Students use AI for assignments, leading to AI-powered plagiarism detection. These situations show how AI is changing systems and creating new conflicts. While there are ways to improve these systems, AI use will likely increase before things get better.
AI companionship not as common as you think study says
A study by Anthropic, the maker of Claude AI chatbot, shows people rarely use AI for companionship. Only 2.9% of users seek emotional support or personal advice from Claude. Most people use Claude for work or creating content. However, some users ask for advice on mental health and communication skills. The study reminds us that AI is mainly used for tasks beyond emotional support.
Google's Gemini AI can now fill spreadsheet cells
