 TRENDING 

AI Researches: Albania’s prime minister is floating the idea of letting AI run parts of the government, pitching it as a way to fight corruption and bring more transparency. While the plan is still mostly talk, it reflects growing interest from smaller nations in testing AI beyond business and consumer use.

The Details:

  • Prime Minister Edi Rama suggested AI could one day replace ministers, removing nepotism and political conflicts.

  • Former minister Ben Blushi backed the idea, claiming AI wouldn’t be swayed by money, power, or fatigue.

  • Albania’s troubled history with corruption and weak institutions makes the promise of a neutral “AI minister” appealing to many.

  • The move comes as Albania celebrates Mira Murati, the Albanian-American who helped turn OpenAI into a global powerhouse before launching her own $2B startup.

 iMajor AI Developments that Happened in this week i

Meta’s FAIR team created TRIBE, a billion-parameter AI that predicts brain activity from movies by analyzing video, audio, and text. It learned from 80 hours of viewing data and accurately forecasted brain patterns, especially in regions tied to attention, decision-making, and emotion.

OpenAI’s GPT-5 outperformed doctors on medical exams, hitting 95.8% on MedQA and scoring 70% on multimodal reasoning tasks. It even diagnosed rare conditions from scans and labs, showing big gains over GPT-4o and medical professionals.

Google DeepMind has announced Genie 3, a world model that generates consistent, real-time 720p environments with physics and memory, built from simple text inputs.

Bloomberg reports Apple is preparing a new line of AI-driven smart home products, featuring a robotic desktop assistant, redesigned Siri, and advanced security systems planned for the next two years.

Automate meeting prep with AI agents

  1. Describe your agent
    Open Lindy AI, create a new agent, and explain what you want it to do for meeting prep.

  2. Set key actions
    Pick extract company from event title and set Gmail draft as the email destination.

  3. Review workflow
    Check the Calendar, Search, and Email steps, swapping integrations if you prefer others.

  4. Test and deploy
    Run it on a sample meeting, then hit Deploy to enable it for future calendar events.

📽️ Turn any document into AI study videos

  1. Upload your content
    Go to NotebookLM, start a new notebook, and upload the document you want turned into a video.

  2. Generate the video
    On the right side Studio panel, select Video Overview to create an AI-narrated video with slides.

  3. Customize focus
    Use the three-dot menu to set learning goals, audience type, or highlight specific topics.

  4. Download your video
    Check the preview and download as an MP4 when ready.

MIT researchers used AI to design two new antibiotics, NG1 and DN1, that killed drug-resistant gonorrhea and MRSA in mice. The AI screened 36 million compounds and found drug designs with entirely new mechanisms, hinting at a “second golden age” of antibiotic discovery.

Microsoft announced CLIO (Cognitive Loop via In-situ Optimization), a framework that equips language models with real-time adaptive reasoning, giving users control over uncertainty thresholds and decision paths while significantly advancing accuracy in scientific problem-solving.

Researchers at KAIST built BInD, an AI that designs cancer drugs from scratch without prior molecular data. It creates precise, safe, and manufacturable drug candidates in one step, targeting cancer mutations while sparing healthy proteins.

🤖 Create AI-powered slide decks that update themselves

How to do it:
Open Manus, type a detailed prompt (like “10 AI opportunities for hospitality + 1 slide on near-term trends”), pick Slides as the output, select a theme, and hit confirm. Manus will research, gather data, and design your deck with visuals while you step away.

Why this matters
Instead of manually building slides every week, you can set Manus to refresh the deck with new data automatically. That means your presentations stay current without you lifting a finger.

Sam Altman said OpenAI will spend trillions on data centers to unlock more powerful models, admitted GPT-4o’s removal was a misstep, and hinted at interest in Chrome if it’s forced to be sold. He also teased the Jony Ive device as a rare “new computing paradigm.”

Tarifi says AI itself is going to be gone by the time you finish a Ph.D. Even things like applying AI to robotics will be solved by then. So either get into something niche like AI for biology, which is still in its very early stages, or just don't get into anything at all

Sam Altman says A kid born today will never be smarter than AI, ever … We will think how bad those people of the 2000’s had it.

Meta is reportedly preparing its fourth AI division shake-up in six months, with its MSL group to be split into four separate teams.

Anthropic has introduced a “hang up” function for Claude Opus 4 and 4.1, letting the model end conversations when faced with repeated harmful content, as part of its AI welfare research.

Google introduced Gemma 3 270M, runs directly on smartphones and browsers, supporting 25 conversations on a Pixel 9 Pro with under 1% battery use, and can be fine-tuned in minutes for custom offline tasks.

xAI has launched Grok Imagine, giving X’s premium users the ability to create short AI-generated videos and images directly from text or photos.

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.1, an upgrade that strengthens coding, reasoning, and research performance.

xAI released Grok 4 worldwide for free for a limited time, and introduced a new “long press” Grok Imagine feature that converts images into video.

OpenAI’s reasoning model reached gold level at the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics, ranking 6th overall and first among AIs. It scored in the 98th percentile without special programming training, marking a huge leap from last year’s 49%.

Perplexity reportedly offered $34.5B to acquire Google’s Chrome browser, even though its own valuation is nearly half that.

ElevenLabs launched Eleven Music, a multilingual model for generating songs with control over genre, style, structure, and the ability to edit both lyrics and sounds.

Google rolled out a new Storybook feature in the Gemini app, letting users create personalized storybooks on any topic with free read-aloud narration.

ChatGPT is set to reach 700 million weekly active users, up from 500 million in March and quadruple the figure from last year.

A new Anthropic study identifies “Persona Vectors,” neural activations linked to changes in AI personalities, including traits like sycophancy, hallucination, and harmful responses.
