The team covered a packed week of announcements, with big moves from Google I/O, Microsoft Build, and fresh developments in robotics, science, and global AI infrastructure. Highlights included new video generation tools, satellite-powered AI compute, real-time speech translation, open-source coding tools, and the implications of AI-generated avatars for finance and enterprise.

Key Points Discussed

UBS now uses deepfake avatars of its analysts to deliver personalized market insights to clients, raising concerns around memory, authenticity, and trust.

Google I/O dropped a flood of updates including Notebook LM with video generation, Veo 3 for audio-synced video, and Flow for storyboarding.

Google also released Gemini Ultra at $250/month and launched Jules, a free asynchronous coding agent that uses Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Android XR glasses were announced, along with a partnership with Warby Parker and new AI features in Google Meet like real-time speech translation.

China's new “Three Body” AI satellite network launched 12 orbital nodes with plans for 2,800 satellites enabling real-time space-based computation.

Duke’s Wild Fusion framework enables robots to process vision, touch, and vibration as a unified sense, pushing robotics toward more human-like perception.

Pohang University developed haptic feedback systems for industrial robotics, improving precision and safety in remote-controlled environments.

Microsoft Build announcements included multi-agent orchestration, open-sourcing GitHub Copilot, and launching Discovery, an AI-driven research agent used by Nvidia and Estee Lauder.

Microsoft added access to Grok 3 in its developer tools, expanding beyond OpenAI, possibly signaling tension or strategic diversification.

MIT retracted support for a widely cited AI productivity paper due to data concerns, raising new questions about how retracted studies spread through LLMs and research cycles.
