China's Unitree Robotics offers a humanoid robot for under $6,000
The startup, among the frontrunners in Chinese robotics, on Friday announced its R1 bot with a starting price of 39,900 yuan (or $5,900) Bloomberg By Bloomberg News Unitree Robotics is marketing one of the world's first humanoid robots for under $6,000, drastically reducing the entry price for what's expected to grow into a whole wave of versatile AI machines for the workplace and home. The startup, among the frontrunners in Chinese robotics, on Friday announced its R1 bot with a starting price of 39,900 yuan (or $5,900). The machine weighs just 25kg and has 26 joints, the company said in a video posted to WeChat. It's equipped with multimodal artificial intelligence that includes voice and image recognition. The four-figure price tag highlights the ambitions of a new generation of startups trying to leapfrog the US in a groundbreaking technology. Unitree rose to prominence in February after CEO Wang Xingxing joined big names like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s Jack Ma and Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s Pony Ma at a widely publicized summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The new robot's launch coincides with China's biggest AI forum, set to kick off this weekend with star founders, Beijing officials and AI-hungry venture investors converging in Shanghai. The World Artificial Intelligence Conference will bring together many of the key figures expected to drive China's efforts around AI, which is finding a physical expression in the rapid development of more humanoid robots. After decades of dominance by American companies like Boston Dynamics, Chinese companies are pushing ahead with humanoids for factories, households and even military use. Pricing is crucial to their proliferation. Unitree's older G1 robot, which found a home in research labs and schools, was priced at $16,000. A more advanced and larger H1 model goes for $90,000-plus. Rival UBTech Robotics Corp. said recently that it planned a $20,000 humanoid robot that can serve as a household companion this year, seeking to expand beyond factories. If it works as advertised, Unitree's new robot would mark a milestone for the robotics industry, particularly when it comes to complex humanoids. Morgan Stanley Research estimates that the cost of the most-sophisticated humanoid in 2024 was around $200,000.

ChatGPT therapy chats are not private, warns OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
More people are using ChatGPT like a therapist, but that doesn't mean it's private. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says those kinds of chats don't have the same legal protections you get with real therapists, doctors, or lawyers. OpenAI says deleted chats from Free, Plus, and Pro users are wiped within 30 days unless they're legally required to keep them for "legal or security reasons."(AP) Altman told podcaster Theo Von, 'So if you go talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there's like a lawsuit or whatever, we could be required to produce that, and I think that's very screwed up.' He went on, 'Right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there's like legal privilege for it — there's doctor-patient confidentiality, there's legal confidentiality,' according to Business Insider report. 'We haven't figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT.' Altman said there should be the 'same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist' and that it should be 'addressed with some urgency.' Also Read: 'Will AI replace lawyers? Law intern asks to use ChatGPT for witness analysis, gets hard copies instead Youngsters turning to ChatGPT for therapy He said a growing number of people — especially younger users — are turning to ChatGPT for therapy, life advice, or help with relationships. Altman said, 'No one had to think about that even a year ago, and now I think it's this huge issue of like, 'How are we gonna treat the laws around this?'' Unlike end-to-end encrypted apps like WhatsApp or Signal, OpenAI can read your conversations with ChatGPT. Employees sometimes look at chats to improve the AI or to watch for misuse. OpenAI says deleted chats from Free, Plus, and Pro users are wiped within 30 days unless they're legally required to keep them for "legal or security reasons." Back in June, The New York Times and other media outlets asked a court to force OpenAI to save all user chats, even deleted ones, as part of a copyright lawsuit. OpenAI is now appealing that court order.

Drone cameras to monitor public safety in Kalaburagi
Kalaburagi: The Karnataka govt has bolstered its public safety infrastructure by introducing drone technology in Kalaburagi, whilst creating opportunities for youth development in drone operations across the state. This demonstrates its dedication to enhancing law enforcement capabilities. At a ceremony in Bengaluru on Thursday, advanced surveillance drones - Nimble-Eye and OS01 - were presented to Kalaburagi district police commissioner SD Sharanappa by home minister G Parameshwara. These Karnataka-manufactured drones feature AI-enabled surveillance capabilities and have been implemented through corporate social responsibility initiatives. Speaking at the event, home minister G Parameshwara said, "Our vision is to equip every police station in Karnataka with drones, which will make our forces smarter, faster and more responsive. Karnataka-made drones are a symbol of how technology can serve public interest." The sophisticated features of drones include round-the-clock surveillance, number plate recognition, crowd and vehicle monitoring, and swift field deployment capabilities, providing enhanced support to police operations across districts. IT and BT minister Priyank Kharge, who also oversees rural development and panchayat raj, announced plans to train 500 Kalaburagi youth in DGCA-certified drone operations. This initiative aims to create opportunities in sectors such as agriculture, logistics, disaster management, and infrastructure monitoring. Minister Priyank Kharge said: "The strength of our technology should be a force for rural transformation and opportunity. The drone sector is one of the fastest-growing industries globally. Drones are being used in various fields. By upskilling the youth of Kalaburagi in cutting-edge drone technologies, we prepare them for future jobs, new livelihoods, local innovation, and rural technology. We are helping to create ecological systems. " Minister Priyank Kharge highlighted Karnataka's prominent position in embracing advanced technologies, establishing robust infrastructure, and generating job opportunities through integrated and efficient governance systems. He emphasised the state's commitment to smart administrative practices that foster development and progress.
