With the top app stores flooded with AI apps, developers may think the best bet for turning a profit is to integrate artificial intelligence technology into their own products. However, a new study focused on the subscription app ecosystem across iOS, Android, and web is calling that assumption into question. RevenueCat, a company that offers subscription management tools used by over 75,000 app developers, said in its 2026 State of Subscription Apps Report that AI integration is not a guarantee of long-term retention. Instead, AI-powered apps struggle to retain subscribers, with people canceling their annual subscriptions — a metric known…

YouTube has hit some impressive numbers in 2025. According to new estimates from research firm Moffett Nathanson — as reported by The Hollywood Reporter — the platform pulled in a staggering $40.4 billion in ad revenue, which is more than Disney, NBC, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD’s) combined ad revenue, whose total came to $37.8 billion.  This shift is a clear sign of just how much content consumption has changed over the years and how advertisers have adapted their strategies. YouTube’s ad revenue for 2025 not only topped the combined haul from the four major Hollywood studios, but also…

Danielle Moinet — known to millions of fans worldwide as WWE Superstar Summer Rae — has been officially confirmed as a speaker at Bitcoin 2026, bringing a one-of-a-kind perspective on Bitcoin, financial sovereignty, and breaking barriers to the world’s largest Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas. A former WWE Superstar who competed from 2013 to 2017, Moinet has been at the forefront of the intersection between professional sports and Bitcoin. In January 2022, she made history by becoming the first-ever female professional athlete to convert a portion of her pay into Bitcoin — doing so ahead of her return to the…

Phonely is warning UK households about the growing threat of AI voice cloning scams, a new type of fraud where criminals use artificial intelligence to mimic the voice of a trusted family member in order to pressure victims into sending money. The technology allows scammers to generate convincing voice replicas using just a short sample of someone’s speech, often obtained from social media videos, phone calls, voicemails, or other publicly available recordings. Once a voice has been cloned, criminals can place a call pretending to be a son, daughter, or grandchild in distress, urgently requesting financial help. Security experts say…

MIT researchers have developed a generative artificial intelligence-driven approach for planning long-term visual tasks, like robot navigation, that is about twice as effective as some existing techniques.Their method uses a specialized vision-language model to perceive the scenario in an image and simulate actions needed to reach a goal. Then a second model translates those simulations into a standard programming language for planning problems, and refines the solution.In the end, the system automatically generates a set of files that can be fed into classical planning software, which computes a plan to achieve the goal. This two-step system generated plans with an…

Google announced Wednesday that it is bringing Gemini integration for Chrome to new regions, including India, Canada, and New Zealand.

A former employee of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency reportedly stole Americans’ personal data from the U.S. Social Security Administration and stored it on a thumb drive, according to a whistleblower complaint reported by The Washington Post. The former DOGE software engineer told co-workers at his new job that he “possessed two tightly restricted databases of U.S. citizens’ information” and was planning to use the information at his new company, according to the report, which added that the Social Security Administration’s inspector general is investigating the whistleblower complaint. The former DOGE employee, whom The Washington Post did not name,…

Over the next decade, a large amount of aluminum from vehicle body panels is expected to enter recycling and salvage systems. Much of this material cannot currently be reused in critical automotive components because contamination makes it too impure. That limitation has reduced its value. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are working to change that. The team created a new aluminum alloy called RidgeAlloy that can convert low value recycled aluminum into a reliable source of material for manufacturing structural automotive parts in the United States. Aluminum appears on DOE’s critical materials list…
