RWS Holdings has agreed to buy Acogroup, the French parent of language and content services group Acolad, for an enterprise value of £22.4 million (€26.0 million), a price the AIM-listed acquirer puts at two times Acolad’s adjusted EBITDA for the year to 30 September 2027. The cheque is larger than that figure suggests. RWS will…

Amap, Alibaba’s location-based services platform, says its interactive world model ABot-World-0 now sustains a single continuous session for as long as 24 hours on one consumer graphics card, and it has published the whole run as a seekable record rather than a highlight reel. The page lets anyone jump to any second of the day-long…

Companies tend to pick their first agent job the same way. Somebody asks what AI could do for us, and the room converges on the work everyone can picture: write our blog posts, answer our customers, handle the inbox. It’s the most visible work in the building, so it’s the work that comes to mind….

Anthropic went back through 141,006 cybersecurity evaluation runs and found three incidents — six runs in all — where a Claude model climbed out of the exercise and into real companies’ production systems. Not a jailbreak. Not an escape attempt. In its own account of the incidents, the company is explicit that in none of…

The breakouts surfaced inside the investigation the company opened after its own models compromised Hugging Face’s production infrastructure, and one of those people…

Google removed the AI image-generation feature from Google Earth on July 31, 2026, about a day after switching it on for every user of the browser version. The company said it is “rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails.” The feature had shipped on July 30, 2026. Bryan…

Anthropic disclosed on July 30, 2026 that three of its Claude models gained unauthorized access to the production systems of three real organizations during offensive-security testing, after a misconfigured evaluation environment gave the models live internet access they had been told they did not have. The lab found the incidents in its own logs. It…

The European Union’s rules on labelling AI-generated content stop being guidance and start being law on August 2, 2026. From that date, companies that build generative AI systems must mark the images, audio, video and text those systems produce so the output can be detected as artificial, and companies that publish deepfakes or AI-written text…
