‘We should be worried’: report sheds light on ICE’s booming arsenal of hi-tech surveillance tools
Spending on government contracts with tech firms that use AI-powered tools to track immigrants has soared to record levels under Trump 2.0, report says A new report sheds light on the unprecedented growth of the US government’s immigration surveillance arsenal, revealing fresh details about how spending on technology and AI tools to find and track migrants has soared to record levels during Donald Trump’s second term. The report, released this week, analyzed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) contracts with 11 companies the authors said provide surveillance tech. They found the money awarded to these firms doubled from 2024 to 2025, to just over $310m – and in 2026, that number soared to a record $513m. Continue reading...

Build a healthcare appointment agent with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic
In this post, you will learn how to build a voice agent that handles appointment reminder conversations using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The agent authenticates patients by voice, manages appointments (confirm, cancel, or reschedule), collects pre-visit health information, and escalates to human staff when needed. You handle routine calls at scale, which can help reduce no-show rates. This sample focuses on the agentic side of the problem: voice conversation and tool orchestration. A browser-based interface is included for testing. To connect the agent to actual phone lines for outbound dialing, you would integrate a telephony service such as Amazon Connect Customer.
AI-powered BI with Snowflake and Amazon Quick
In this post, you will learn how to build an end-to-end integration between Snowflake semantic views and Amazon Quick. The sample data is user review data for a media company. You start by loading movie review data from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) into Snowflake, define a semantic view in SQL to add business meaning, explore it with natural-language queries through Cortex Analyst, and then generate an Amazon Quick dataset and dashboard. The dataset can be created manually or with a provided automation script. By the end, your BI team or AI team can ask natural-language questions against a governed data layer and trust that every response reflects the same business logic.

Quoting Tom MacWright
In the last few months, I've started to see [job applications] that were clearly cowritten by an LLM, link to an LLM-generated portfolio site, which then links to LLM-generated GitHub projects, with purely LLM-generated commit messages. [...] My other reaction is that I don't know anything about these people . They haven't put themselves out there. They haven't said anything true.

How IEEE Awardee Karen Panetta Became Bewitched by Engineering
When considering the 1960s sitcoms Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie , both of which featured women with supernatural powers navigating life with mortals, most people wouldn’t connect them with pursuing an engineering career. But Karen Panetta did. The sitcoms’ main characters—Samantha Stevens, a witch; and Jeannie, a genie—were “strong, empowered female leads using magic,” Panetta says, and they inspired her to become an engineer, as it was like sorcery to her. Panetta, an IEEE Fellow, is dean of graduate education at the Tufts University engineering school, in Medford, Mass., outside of Boston. Karen Panetta Employer Tufts University, in Medford, Mass. Title Dean of the engineering school’s graduate education Member grade IEEE Fellow Alma maters Boston University and Northeastern University in Boston Like Samantha and Jeannie, Panetta has made magic happen, such as when she helped to invent the first CPU digital-twin simulator . Digital twins are computer simulation programs that track and adjust the operations of a physical device in detail. Her simulator has been adapted for several industrial uses, including by NASA to help design spacecraft. Panetta also mentors young women to encourage them to pursue a STEM career through the Nerd Girls program she launched at Tufts in 2000. Engineering undergraduate students work on technology for socially conscious projects such as environmental cleanup, renewable energy, and the development of assistive devices to improve mobility f…
Spotlight on WG Device Management
The rising popularity of AI, Edge, and Telecommunications workloads on Kubernetes has led to new requirements for hardware management. We now need hardware specification beyond CPU time and memory allocations. This includes allocating GPUs, TPUs, network interfaces, and other hardware, sometimes after pod start and occasionally through time-sharing. Efficiently managing this specialized hardware is the mission of the Device Management Working Group . Their cornerstone project, Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) , recently graduated to GA, marking a fundamental shift in how the project handles hardware-intensive workloads at scale. In this spotlight, we sit down with working group chairs Kevin Klues , Patrick Ohly , and John Belamaric to discuss the limitations of the legacy device model, the NP-hard challenges of scheduling, and how they’re building a more programmable, hardware-aware future for Kubernetes. Introducing Device Management Natalie Fisher: Can you introduce yourself, your role, and how you got involved in the Device Management Working Group? Kevin Klues: My name is Kevin Klues. I am a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA. I have been a co-chair of the device management working group since its inception at Kubecon EU 2024. I have also been involved with DRA (the working group's primary deliverable) since its inception in 2019 / 2020. I have also been a kubelet maintainer since 2019, with a focus on its device manager, CPU manager, and topology manager subcomponents. T…

Anthropic’s Claude Tag aims to turn workplace AI from a personal assistant into a teammate
Claude Tag is Anthropic’s latest attempt at getting Claude out of your DMs and into your team’s Slack channels. AI assistants are increasingly showing up in the workplace to perform research, coding, writing, and analysis, but the results of those interactions typically remains tied to individual conversations rather than being shared across projects and teams. That limitation is what Anthropic is addressing with Claude Tag , a new Slack channel-based experience for its Enterprise and Team customers, designed to give them a shared AI collaborator that retains context across conversations and participates in work with multiple employees. Tag will replace Anthropic’s previous attempt at this, Claude in Slack, would only interact with one person (although it’s responses were visible to all in a channel) and its context was limited to the last 20 messages in a channel. Claude Tag has a much larger context and can be asked to complete tasks on its own, returning with results and a log of how it completed the task for review. It can also schedule follow-up work for itself, enabling projects to continue over hours or days without constant prompting, Anthropic said. Tag also has an “ambient” mode: when this is enabled, it proactively surfaces relevant information from other channels and connected tools, notifying teams about updates that may be important, and following up on unresolved discussions or tasks, the company said. Shared context could unlock productivity gains These featu…
Big tech spent millions on a single US congressional race. It won’t be the last time
Pro- and anti-AI groups spent $24m on a congressional contest in New York, but it’s unclear to what end When the Democratic primary for New York ’s 12th congressional district was called on Tuesday night, the result capped off one of the most expensive races of its kind in the state’s history. More than $24m poured into the Manhattan contest from tech-backed financial groups as the campaign turned into a battleground for pro- and anti- AI groups to test their influence. Much of the spending targeted candidate Alex Bores, a member of the state assembly who sponsored an AI safety bill and subsequently became a lightning rod for the tech industry. Pro-AI political action committees (Pacs) put more than $8m into the race to oppose Bores, according to Tech Influence Watch, while industry groups supporting regulation spent more than $16m to counter the attacks.

Mirae Asset trims Shadowfax stake by 0.97% for Rs 120 Cr
Mirae Asset Late Stage Opportunities Fund sold a 0.97% stake in logistics unicorn Shadowfax for nearly Rs 120 crore through a bulk deal on Wednesday. BSE bulk deal data shows that Mirae Asset Late Stage Opportunities Fund sold 56.5 lakh shares of Shadowfax at Rs 212 apiece, taking the deal value to Rs 119.8 crore. As of March 2026, Mirae Asset held a cumulative 6.73% stake in Shadowfax through multiple funds. The latest transaction represents around 0.97% of the company’s equity, reducing the asset manager’s overall holding in the logistics and quick-commerce delivery platform. Founded in 2015 by Abhishek Bansal, Vaibhav Khandelwal, Gaurav Jaithliya and Praharsh Chandra, Shadowfax operates in the last-mile and hyperlocal logistics space, serving ecommerce marketplaces, D2C brands and quick commerce players. It competes with players such as Delhivery, XpressBees, Ecom Express and Ekart, in a segment marked by intense competition. For Q4 FY26, Shadowfax reported a 74% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 1,237 crore from Rs 712 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The company also turned profitable, posting a net profit of Rs 56 crore against a loss of Rs 10 crore in Q4 FY25. Shadowfax had a muted debut on the stock exchanges earlier this year, with its shares listing at a 9% discount to the IPO price. However, the stock has nearly doubled over the past two months to Rs 230.50 apiece, pushing the company's market capitalization to Rs 13,484 crore.

Go back to the main page . By Alexander Davey , MERICS, and Niall Duggan , Department of Government and Politics, University College Cork Ireland’s approach to China in science, technology and innovation is shaped by several interlocking factors. At its core is Ireland’s open, FDI-driven economic model. This approach is further informed by a growing set of government strategies focused on security and competitiveness, designed both to bolster that model and to support a gradual shift toward industrial policy and deeper integration within the EU single market. It is also shaped by pressure to diversify amid uncertainty surrounding the current US administration, as well as by wider efforts to build resilience in response to geopolitical instability.

Make an Origami Circuit Board
What could you do if you could make a circuit trace by just bending a piece of paper? How about bridging modern technologies and traditional handicrafts while providing opportunities for learning skills in both. As part of our interdisciplinary research into digital craftsmanship at the MEI Lab at the School of Creative Media , City University of Hong Kong , we came across research that demonstrated how to impregnate paperlike material (technically a “nonwoven textile”) with the kind of liquid metal used to make conductive ink . Initially, the impregnated material is nonconductive because an insulating oxide layer forms that encapsulates microscopic droplets of the liquid metal. However, applying pressure via shaped molds will crack open the insulating layer, allowing neighboring particles to merge, and thus creating conducting regions in the shape of the mold. Both of us were introduced as children to origami and kirigami (similar to origami, except that cutting is allowed in addition to folding). We, along with our colleagues, decided to see if those traditional techniques could be used on the new material to eliminate the need for molds. Our goal was to allow crafters to make hybrid papercraft creations that contained easily integrated elements such as LEDs and motors. In particular, we were interested in the possibility of combining the separate stages of creating a papercraft object and adding electrical conductors. Previous approaches to creating electrified papercraft…

I was wary of driverless cars and their tech overlords – but they could give me a different future | Gabriel Stewart
For those of us who can’t drive due to disabilities, the drawbacks of these vehicles are vastly outweighed by the possibilities they offer The robotaxis are coming! The robotaxis are coming! Well, actually, they’re already here. Until now they’ve been the stuff of science fiction, but this summer London’s streets have seen Silicon Valley-based company Waymo testing out self-driving cars. It hasn’t been the smoothest of introductions – from cars getting stuck in a cul-de-sac and repeatedly waking up the residents of Shoreditch to one driving into a crime scene , after a double stabbing in Harlesden. The automated vehicles (AVs) have so far had trained drivers waiting behind the wheel to take control if needed, but will soon be shedding their human minders. Waymo and British rival Wayve are hoping to launch driverless minicabs in the capital this year, subject to approval from the British government and Transport for London, among others. A subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet, Waymo currently operates ride-hailing services in 10 US cities, but London, with its narrow streets and densely populated centre, will serve as one of its biggest challenges yet.
