Unreal Editor for Fortnite’s AI character creation tool has ambitions beyond Darth Vader

venturebeat.com Giancarlo Valdes 2026-03-23 09:52:46

Epic Games took a big step with conversational AI when it added a new version of Darth Vader in Fortnite that could speak with players. But later this year, any creator using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) will be able to make their own AI-powered characters with the same underlying technology behind Vader. During the 2025 State of Unreal keynote, Epic revealed that a new tool in UEFN called the Persona Device will allow anyone to create non-playable characters (NPCs) with AI-driven personal

The Pentagon is gutting the team that tests AI and weapons systems

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2026-03-21 22:00:00

It is a significant overhaul of a department that in 40 years has never before been placed so squarely on the chopping block. Here’s how today’s defense tech companies, which have fostered close connections to the Trump administration, stand to gain, and why safety testing might suffer as a result. The Operational Test and Evaluation office is “the last gate before a technology gets to the field,” says Missy Cummings, a former fighter pilot for the US Navy who is now a professor of engineering

IBM aims to build the world’s first large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer by 2028

technologyreview.com Sophia Chen 2026-03-21 23:00:00

IBM intends Starling to be able to perform computational tasks beyond the capability of classical computers. Starling will have 200 logical qubits, which will be constructed using the company’s chips. It should be able to perform 100 million logical operations consecutively with accuracy; existing quantum computers can do so for only a few thousand. The system will demonstrate error correction at a much larger scale than anything done before, claims Gambetta. Previous error correction demonstra

The Download: Amsterdam’s welfare AI experiment, and making humanoid robots safer

Amsterdam thought it was on the right track. City officials in the welfare department believed they could build technology that would prevent fraud while protecting citizens’ rights. They followed these emerging best practices and invested a vast amount of time and money in a project that eventually processed live welfare applications. But in their pilot, they found that the system they’d developed was still not fair and effective. Why? Lighthouse Reports, MIT Technology Review, and the Dutch n

I love the OnePlus 13, but the official wireless charger is just maddening

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-22 00:00:50

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m a chaotic gadget charger, topping up my phone as and when rather than sticking to a rigorous overnight routine like a normal person. As such, you might think that wireless charging would be right up my street — pop the phone down, give it a little juice, and be back on my way. Unfortunately, wireless charging is notoriously slow, meaning that even half an hour on the dock is seldom enough for me. Thankfully, a few brands, mainly from China, offer fast(er)

It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-22 02:00:32

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a

TL;DR Android 16 will automatically group all notifications from the same app to create a more organized notification panel. While Android has supported notification grouping for years, it was largely up to app developers to implement. This behavior is now enforced by the OS, preventing any single app from cluttering the notification panel and making alerts more manageable for users. With the new Android 16 update, Google is introducing several major changes to how notifications look and beha

The custom sticker function is available for Pixel 9 and newer devices. Back in May, we found code in the Gboard beta that suggested Google could add the ability to generate stickers without having to open Pixel Studio.

It’s certainly a pretty dramatic change, depending on how far you want to take the look.
