Can an AI truly think and act like a human? Meet Manus, the game-changer shaking up the world of artificial intelligence. Just as the dust begins to settle on DeepSeek-a name that already feels like yesterday's news-another breakthrough from a Chinese startup has taken the internet by storm. This time, it’s not just another generative AI model spitting out clever chat responses or writing essays. No, this is something far more ambitious: Manus , a fully autonomous AI agent launched by Monica, a relatively unknown but now undeniably groundbreaking company, on March 6, 2025. Manus AI: Unveiling; China’s Breakthrough in Fully Autonomous AI Agents Unlike ChatGPT or DeepSeek, which are tools you use (like a hammer), Manus is designed to be the craftsman itself, working independently to make decisions, execute tasks, and deliver results-all with minimal human intervention.

The World's Most Dangerous Group Chat: A Tale of Troublemaking Nations
Imagine, if you will, the world's most problematic group chat. You know the type – there's always that one friend who keeps stirring up drama (looking at you, Russia), the rich kid who's suspiciously quiet but definitely up to something (China), the one who keeps sending threatening memes (North Korea), and the passive-aggressive one who leaves angry reacts on everyone's messages (Iran). Together, they're like the world's worst boyband, except instead of dropping albums, they're dropping everyone else's security ratings. The World's Most Dangerous Group Chat: A Tale of Troublemaking Nations Now, center stage in this geopolitical reality show is Ukraine, where Putin is putting on what he probably thinks is a masterclass in "How to Make Friends and Intimidate People." It's like he's playing Risk, but forgot that this isn't actually a board game and those little pieces represent real places and people. And just when you thought t...

AI Export Controls: A Tech War of Bits and Bytes
The US government, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that AI is too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. So, they're trying to build a digital wall around it, hoping to keep it away from countries like China. It's a bit like trying to stop a cat from chasing a mouse by putting a fence around the mouse. The cat might find a way to dig under, climb over, or simply wait patiently for the mouse to come to it. AI Export Controls: A Tech War of Bits and Bytes The idea behind these export controls is to prevent China from developing powerful AI systems that could be used for nefarious purposes, like building autonomous weapons or hacking into our power grids. But the problem is that AI is a lot like a genie: once you let it out of the bottle, it's hard to put it back in. You see, AI is built on algorithms and data. Algorithms are like recipes for solving problems, and data is like the ingredients. If you have the recipe and the ingredients, you can cook up a pretty imp...

"Ola Friend", Let's Talk Tech...
Are you getting sucked into a TikTok vortex every time you open your phone? Enter ByteDance, the social media giant that gave us endless scrolling TikTok, with its latest invention - the 'Ola Friend' earbuds. The Rise of the Chatty Earbud: ByteDance Bets on AI These fancy buds aren't just for listening to music (although they do that too, phew!). They come equipped with Doubao, ByteDance's very own AI assistant. Think of Doubao as your own personal pocket-sized therapist/language tutor/annoying little brother (depending on how you set it up). Need to translate a street sign in Barcelona? Doubao's on it. Want someone to quiz you on your verb conjugations? Doubao's your guy (or gal, or non-binary pal, AI doesn't discriminate). But here's the kicker: you can chat with Doubao all through your fancy earbuds, without even touching your phone! No more fumbling in your bag while dodging rogue elbows on the bus. It's like having a tiny voice in your head, ...

China's AI Race: Ahead of the Curve but Facing Regulatory Hurdles
Shanghai recently hosted the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, China’s largest AI conference. According to a new survey, Chinese business leaders are significantly ahead of their global counterparts in adopting generative AI (GenAI). The survey found that more than 80% of Chinese business leaders surveyed are currently using GenAI in their operations, compared to a global average of 54% and a US average of 65%. “China has not only made significant progress in the practical aspects of orchestrating AI into its existing systems and processes, but also in building trust by preparing for GenAI regulation,” the report said. China is betting on generative AI to better manage its “massive population” and the data it collects. “Pioneering generative AI could give China a global competitive advantage in unlocking value and data,” the report said. Still, safety concerns such as hallucinations, deepfakes, and data privacy are prompting governments to quickly enact rules for the new techno...

"Core Values": A Glimpse into China's AI Regulations
Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant, has launched its own AI language software, "Tongyi Qianwen," competing with OpenAI's ChatGPT. However, the joy of the developers was short-lived as the Chinese government released a draft of AI regulations for the industry. The "Cyberspace Administration of China" has outlined 21 possible requirements for AI language model developers, including ensuring that content reflects the "basic values of socialism" and preventing the dissemination of information that could disrupt economic and social order. (toc) #title=(Table of Content) A Glimpse into China's AI Regulations These regulations raise questions about the need for rules to govern AI and how many is too many. While China is taking steps to regulate the industry, governments in the West must also consider similar regulations to protect users and ensure AI is aligned with their values. This move by the Chinese government has significant implications...

Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2023: The Current State of AI Research
Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2023: The Current State of AI Research Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2023: The Current State of AI Research Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be an exciting field of research, but now it has become primarily a money-making field for those who already have a lot of it. This is one of the key takeaways from Stanford University's AI Index Report 2023, which was recently published. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the state of AI research and its impact on society. One of the key findings of the report is that up until 2014, most of the major machine learning models were developed by public research institutions. However, the tech industry has now taken over the field, with 32 out of 35 major machine learning models released last year being developed by companies. This has led to a renewed concentration of power among tech companies, which have the resources required to develop state-of-the-art AI systems, such as supercom...
