Industrial AI is moving beyond hype to deliver tangible benefits across manufacturing, energy, utilities, and logistics. By connecting machines, sensors, and systems, AI helps predict failures, automate scheduling, and improve safety. Companies are reshaping workforces, elevating human experts while AI handles diagnostics and routine tasks. Success now hinges on change management, trust building, and embedding AI into core workflows rather than adding it as an afterthought. This shift supports new business models like servitization and advances sustainability goals, positioning industrial AI as a practical driver of efficiency and long‑term value. Leer más →

Researchers have demonstrated a robot that can acquire 1,000 distinct physical tasks in a single day, each from just one demonstration. By breaking actions into simpler phases and reusing knowledge across tasks, the system learns far faster than traditional approaches that require hundreds of repetitions. The breakthrough, achieved on a real robot arm rather than in simulation, points to more flexible, affordable automation that could transform sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, and brings the vision of adaptable home robots closer to reality.

Amazon disclosed a reduction of roughly 14,000 corporate positions, citing the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence as a primary driver. The move follows earlier speculation that up to 30,000 jobs could be eliminated. Affected areas include video games, logistics, payments, and cloud computing, while prior cuts have touched Prime Video, Amazon Web Services, and newly unionized warehouse staff. Senior Vice President of People Experience and Technology Beth Galetti emphasized the need for a leaner structure to keep pace with AI advancements, describing the technology as the most transformative since the Internet.

Amazon announced a suite of new robotics and artificial‑intelligence tools designed to streamline its fulfillment operations. The company showcased ten robots, including the Blue Jay system that acts as an extra set of hands for employees, and Project Eluna, an AI assistant that helps reduce cognitive load. Amazon executives emphasized that the focus is on supporting workers rather than replacing them, citing the company's record of job creation and plans to fill hundreds of thousands of seasonal positions. CEO Andy Jassy noted that generative AI will shift some tasks while creating new roles, underscoring a broader efficiency strategy for the near future. Leer más →

Amazon is developing AI‑enabled smart glasses to help its delivery drivers navigate routes, locate packages, and confirm deliveries without using a phone. The wearable head‑up display activates when a driver parks, showing turn‑by‑turn directions, hazard warnings, and package information. A controller attached to the delivery vest supplies power and controls, while an emergency button offers safety. The glasses support prescription lenses and are being piloted in select North American markets. Amazon plans future upgrades such as real‑time defect detection and pet‑awareness features. Leer más →

Amazon announced the development of AI‑enabled smart glasses designed to give its delivery drivers a hands‑free experience. The wearable technology combines computer‑vision cameras with real‑time sensing to let drivers scan packages, follow turn‑by‑turn directions, and capture proof of delivery without pulling out a phone. Paired with a vest‑mounted controller, the glasses also feature a swappable battery, emergency button, and options for prescription or transitional lenses. Amazon is trialing the devices with drivers in North America and plans to refine the system before a broader rollout, while also previewing related innovations such as a new robotic arm and an AI analytics tool.

Bilal Abu‑Ghazaleh, a former Scale AI executive, has founded 1001 AI to bring an AI‑native operating system to high‑stakes sectors such as aviation, logistics, construction and oil and gas in the Middle East and North Africa. The two‑month‑old startup raised a $9 million seed round led by CIV, General Catalyst and Lux Capital, with participation from a roster of global and regional angels. Abu‑Ghazaleh says the platform will cut inefficiencies worth more than $10 billion in the Gulf alone by automating decision‑making and orchestrating real‑time operations. Early deployments are slated for construction projects by the end of the year, with the company eyeing broader roll‑outs across the region’s megaprojects. Leer más →
