Dim the Sun a bit on hot Mondays
Forecast solar flares about two hours earlier, with better accuracy
Tell your horoscope with quantum vibes
On August 20, 2025, IBM and NASA unveiled Surya, an open-source “digital twin” of the Sun trained on nine years of SDO data.

Fly military drones with no human pilots
Translate old Morse code into modern emojis
On August 22, 2025, reports confirmed the MoD is deploying Castlepoint Systems’ explainable AI to classify records, apply protection labels and block risky actions—like emailing or printing files with restricted data.

What did the UK’s equality watchdog say about the Met’s live facial recognition plan?
Said the plan risks breaching rights and must be fixed
Suggested using it mainly at big festivals to deter crime
Gave it a full green light with no extra safeguards
Urged replacing photo line-ups entirely with LFR
On August 20, 2025, the Equality and Human Rights Commission warned the Met’s expansion of live facial recognition could breach rights to privacy, expression and assembly. It plans to intervene in a judicial review and urged stronger safeguards before any rollout. Festivals weren’t the recommendation.
5 .

Let viewers vote videos off the platform by thumbs-down with instant bans
Hired 1,000 new London moderators overnight
Shifted many moderation roles to AI and cut hundreds of UK jobs
Stopped weekend moderation to save energy
On August 22, 2025, outlets reported TikTok would reduce London trust-and-safety staff as it leans on automation. TikTok says AI already handles most removals, boosting speed and consistency; unions worry about safety gaps. The restructure is part of wider global changes.

A report on how copyrighted works are used to develop AI systems
A detailed inventory of every GPU brand and model used by UK labs this year
The secret weights of every major model
Every prompt ever typed into chatbots
On August 20, 2025, Stage 1 of the Data (Use and Access) Act began via the first Commencement Regulations. Section 136 requires a government report on how copyright works are used in AI development, adding transparency to text-and-data-mining debates. It doesn’t force model disclosure or prompt logs.

AI features like Camera Coach and a proactive assistant
Huge battery boosts and a radical new design
Big price cuts across the lineup

Turn PDFs into musical posters with auto-soundtracks and dancing annotations
Serve as a one-click bulk form printer for large offices
Provide an AI workspace to create, edit and summarise PDFs with PDF Spaces
Act as a special browser that blocks all AI features
On August 19, 2025, Adobe launched Acrobat Studio, combining Acrobat, Adobe Express and AI Assistants. Users can chat with documents, get summaries (even from scans), and collaborate in PDF Spaces with intelligent citations for sources. It moves PDFs from static files to interactive workspaces.
9 .
Why did outlets like WIRED and Business Insider yank pieces by “Margaux Blanchard”?

Headlines were longer than 120 characters
Photos accidentally broke a stock-image license
AI-written stories under a likely fake byline had unverifiable claims
