SkylightI love the idea of chore charts for kids, but I have successfully implemented maybe three. Not because my kids don’t need one. Because the chart relies entirely on me: I make it, I remind them to check it, I confirm the chores actually happened, and the second our routine changes, I’m supposed to build a new one from scratch. So instead I end up narrating the day out loud like a drill sergeant. Enter Skylight Buddy, a new kids chore tracker in the shape of a nightstand device. It made me realize we’re watching the humble chore chart evolve into…

Researchers are developing a system that uses patient data to help physicians identify the disease sooner. July 15, 2026 — Artificial intelligence excels at spotting patterns in large data sets, and Texas A&M University researchers are aiming to leverage that strength to detect Alzheimer’s disease sooner.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, physicians typically use a combination of exams, including brain imaging, cognitive testing and blood tests, to make an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Tianbao Yang, professor and holder of Stephen Horn ’79 Engineering Excellence Chair position in the…

AI SceneGetting lost indoors still happens more often than it should. People can use a phone to find the fastest route across town, track a delivery, or locate a parked car. Yet inside a hospital, airport, campus building, shopping center, or convention hall, visitors can still end up staring at a wall map and hoping they picked the right hallway.That experience is changing. Current smart-space trends, indoor mapping use cases, and wayfinding technology research show that digital tools are making large physical environments easier to move through. Instead of relying only on static signs, organizations are using screens, kiosks, apps,…

OpenAI’s first device will be a screen-less smart speaker, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

The chatbot will use a more advanced version of the new ChatGPT voice mode, with which you can have a true back-and-forth conversation,…

If you think an artificial intelligence model running on thousands of cutting-edge computer chips is smart, allow me to introduce you to the concept of a 1-year-old.OK, so babies might not be able to write computer programs, solve advanced math problems, or debate philosophical ideas. But unlike today’s AI models, which consume an ocean’s worth of training data and as much energy as a small country, babies learn to make sense of the world with amazing efficiency. They identify new objects after seeing them once or twice, and they learn through fleeting observation and physical interaction.When it comes to improving…
