Scientists Stimulated a Fruit Fly’s Brain Inside an AI System and Succeeded; Are Human Brains Next?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 20, 2026

A team of researchers did just that, starting small. The idea was to take a brain, map it neuron by neuron, and run that map inside a machine. They recreated a fruit fly brain, plugged it into a digital body, and watched as the virtual insect behaved like the real thing. There weren’t any separate lines of code for every behaviour, the digital fly’s actions came straight from simulated neural activity. It navigated its environment, reacted to what it saw, and acted in a way that looked similar to a real fly. At its core, this experiment marks a major […]

Meta to Cut Off 10% of its Workforce in New Round of Layoffs

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

This announcement is huge for the tech industry. Growth isn’t just about adding more people, it’s about how efficiently companies can work and what kind of technology they use. Meta’s decision to launch another round of layoffs, despite reporting strong financial results, shows there’s a bigger transformation happening across the sector. AI is taking center stage as the backbone of future operations. Just a few years back, Meta went through its “year of efficiency” and cut tens of thousands of jobs. Now, they’re reshaping the team again, but this time, it seems more strategic than reactive. It’s not just about […]

Sam Altman’s Project World is Expanding its Human Verification System But What Is It Really?

Tinder’s betting that World ID verification is the way to cut down on fake accounts and rebuild trust among its users. The tech is […]

Anthropic’s Meeting with the White House: Who Sets the Limits for AI?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

A major AI executive heading to the White House is not a novelty but a sign of where power is moving. When Dario Amodei showed up for the high-level talks, the question wasn’t just about the technology, it was about who’s actually in control. AI is gradually becoming a tool for geopolitics, and companies like Anthropic find themselves negotiating directly with governments about how far their technology should reach. Right at the center of these talks is a new version of AI models: systems that can pinpoint vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure with incredible accuracy. That kind of power is a […]

OpenAI’s Codex Turned into a “Superapp” as it Expands beyond Coding Tools

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 17, 2026

Key Highlights: The updates to Codex mark a shift in how AI tools are built and used. OpenAI doesn’t see Codex as just a coding assistant anymore, it’s turning it into a system that works across your whole computer. Recent reports say the upgraded Codex can run desktop programs, automate workflows, and keep multiple agents working in the background, so it’s more like a workplace automation engine than a single-purpose helper. Anthropic’s Claude Code jumped into the market and quickly became a real player among AI coding tools, which has pushed OpenAI to pick up the pace. We’re not just […]
