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

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

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

Inside Amsterdam’s high-stakes experiment to create fair welfare AI

technologyreview.com Eileen Guo 2026-03-23 03:00:00

Finding a better way Every time an Amsterdam resident applies for benefits, a caseworker reviews the application for irregularities. If an application looks suspicious, it can be sent to the city’s investigations department—which could lead to a rejection, a request to correct paperwork errors, or a recommendation that the candidate receive less money. Investigations can also happen later, once benefits have been dispersed; the outcome may force recipients to pay back funds, and even push some

Why humanoid robots need their own safety rules

technologyreview.com Victoria Turk 2026-03-23 04:11:33

“If Digit’s going to walk out into an aisle in front of you, you don’t want to be surprised by that,” he says. The robot could use voice commands, but audio alone is not practical for a loud industrial setting. It could be even more confusing if you have multiple robots in the same space—which one is trying to get your attention? There’s also a psychological effect that differentiates humanoids from other kinds of robots, says Prather. We naturally anthropomorphize robots that look like us, whi

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

The overlay will give you access to all four shortcuts available on the full-screen interface and even feature a similar background animation. We spotted the new Gemini Live overlay in the latest Google app beta release, and it could reach users with a subsequent update. After giving the Gemini overlay a much-needed de

TL;DR Samsung has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be “the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” It’s worth noting that the OPPO Find N5 and vivo X Fold 3 are the current thin and light champions, respectively. Samsung teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last week, hinting at an Ultra-level experience. Now, the company has made some bold claims about its upcoming foldable phone.

While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a fairly iterative update over its predecessor, it does make some notable improvements to AI features, durability, and more.

TL;DR Foldables like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold won’t support on-device windowing in Android 16. Only tablets will have the option of floating app windows, while phones with Desktop Mode will need an external display. Desktop Mode support is optional for OEMs building phones and foldables. If you were still hoping that Android 16 might finally let you run apps in floating windows on your foldable, you might want to temper those expectations.
