Autonomous AI systems are beginning to move beyond software environments and into warehouses, delivery networks, and public spaces. The development is drawing attention to whether current AI rules cover systems that operate in physical environments. Most existing AI governance frameworks have focused on online harms and model outputs, including bias, misinformation, and harmful content. Embodied […] The post Autonomous AI systems test governance in physical environments appeared first on AI News...

What are MUDs and why are people still playing them? A MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) is a multiplayer text-based game. Players send text commands like attack goblin or north, and the game responds in pure text. MUDs come in many genres, but in this article I’ll focus on the hack-n-slash variety — games where you kill monsters for XP and enjoy watching your character’s numbers grow. Surprisingly, people still play MUDs in 2026. Some of them are even available on Steam (BatMUD and MUME). Why do people ...

A chapter is the smallest unit a listener actually navigates. They open the audiobook in the middle of Chapter 7, leave it open on the dishes, come back later. The publisher cares about that unit too: when you upload to a major audiobook platform, each chapter typically ships as a separate audio file with its own title metadata, and the index your distributor builds depends on those splits. Somewhere between "writer ships an EPUB" and "listener taps Chapter 7," the chapter boundaries have to sur...

Just two days ago, in the morning of May 25th, something absolutely unusual happened in the Vatican's Synod Hall. HH. Pope Leo XIV walked into a room filled with cardinals, diplomats and also some top guys from the AI industry, and personally presented his first encyclical. That fact alone was historically unprecedented as it was the first time in history when a Pope himself attended the launch of his own documents.
