It all began, as these things often do, with an Instagram ad. “No one tells you this if you’re an immigrant, but accent discrimination is a real thing,” said a woman in the video. Her own accent is faintly Eastern European—so subtle it took me a few playbacks to notice.The ad was for BoldVoice, an AI-powered “accent training” app. A few clicks led me to its “Accent Oracle,” which promised to guess my native language. After I read a lengthy phrase, the algorithm declared: “Your accent is Korean, my friend.” Smug. But impressive. I am, in fact, Korean.I’ve lived in…

Apple’s Swift programming language is coming to Android, and even if you’re not a developer, you should care. The new Swift SDK for Android lets developers build apps using the same code for both iOS and Android, which means more apps, faster updates, and better experiences for everyone. For years, creating apps for both platforms meant learning different programming languages and essentially building everything twice. Swift was exclusive to iOS and macOS, while Android used Java or Kotlin. That gap forced developers to choose which platform to prioritize, often leaving Android users waiting months (or forever) for popular iOS apps…

Adobe hasn’t shared a specific date yet, but Firefly Image Model 5 will launch “in the months to come” following Adobe MAX. Firefly Image Model 4 launched in April 2025, so it will likely be 2026 before we see a broad release of Image Model 5. Like Image Model 4, the updated model has a native 4-megapixel resolution, meaning it can generate images at 2K (2560 x 1440). It also supports prompt-based editing, which sees edits generated at 2 MP or Full HD (1920 x 1080). The big improvement for Image Model 5, however, is layered image editing.In a demo,…

As a journalist who covers AI, I hear from countless people who seem utterly convinced that ChatGPT, Claude, or some other chatbot has achieved “sentience.” Or “consciousness.” Or—my personal favorite—“a mind of its own.” The Turing test was aced a while back, yes, but unlike rote intelligence, these things are not so easily pinned down. Large language models will claim to think for themselves, even describe inner torments or profess undying loves, but such statements don’t imply interiority.Could they ever? Many of the actual builders of AI don’t speak in these terms. They’re too busy chasing the performance benchmark known…
