On a farm outside Bengaluru, rescue dogs like Chloe are doing unusual work — sniffing human breath samples for cancer while wearing 3D-printed "doggy Iron Man" helmets packed with sensors. Startup Dognosis pairs the dogs' 300-million-receptor noses with AI that reads their brain activity, respiration, and body language to flag likely cancer cases. In trials across six Karnataka hospitals with 1,500+ participants, the method reportedly topped 90% accuracy across seven cancer types.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just changing the way people work, it is beginning to change who gets to keep their jobs. In China, a growing number of junior white-collar workers are being displaced as companies use AI to automate research, content creation, accounting and administrative tasks. With one in three job postings now considered highly exposed to AI, the technology is creating new opportunities but also raising a bigger question, will AI create enough jobs to replace the ones it eliminates? Take a look at this next report for more.

AI is rewriting China’s job market

Big Tech, Real Cost is a WION special series hosted by Meraj Shah, examining how a handful of foreign-headquartered platforms and the rise of AI are reshaping our lives.

In this panel discussion, we examine whether India needs tougher rules to rein in the growing market power of Big Tech. From Google and Apple’s control over app stores and payments to Amazon’s role as both platform and competitor, the panel explores gatekeeping, competition and the challenges facing Indian businesses. We also examine India’s long-delayed Digital Competition Bill, whether its proposed thresholds go far enough, and why timely enforcement could matter as much as the law itself. With the EU and UK taking tougher action against digital gatekeepers, can India create a regulatory framework that works for its own digital economy? The bigger question: India has the laws, verdicts and fines but does it have the enforcement power to make Big Tech play by the rules?

The panel discussion features Murugavel Janakiraman (BharatMatrimony.com), Vikas Kathuria (Law Professor) and Abir Roy (Sarvada Legal).

At a G20 tech ministerial in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the US urged member nations to adopt what it calls the "Carolina Principles" — a light-touch approach to AI regulation that avoids new AI-specific regulators and reserves fresh rules only for "novel considerations." White House tech adviser Michael Kratsios revealed that China has also signed on, even as Washington and Beijing compete for global AI dominance. Tech leaders including Musk, Zuckerberg and Hassabis joined the discussions, with Musk criticizing the EU's stricter regulatory approach.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how wars are fought. From autonomous drones and smart missiles to battlefield surveillance and target identification systems, AI is becoming a key part of military operations. The United Nations has warned about the growing use of autonomous weapons in active conflict zones, raising concerns about accountability, ethics and international law. Major powers including the United States, China, Ukraine and India are investing heavily in AI-driven defence technologies. As machines move closer to the kill chain, the world faces a critical question: how much decision-making should be left to algorithms on the battlefield?

Twitch is facing legal scrutiny after a lawsuit alleged that the platform used creators' streams to help train artificial intelligence systems without proper consent. The complaint claims streamers were effectively treated as "free training stock" for AI development. The case comes as more Twitch users seek to opt out of AI training programs and raises broader questions about creator rights, data ownership and how tech platforms use user-generated content in the age of artificial intelligence.

Japan has approved a new code of conduct aimed at strengthening copyright protection in the age of artificial intelligence. The guidelines encourage AI companies to be more transparent about the data used to train their models and to take steps to prevent the use of pirated or illegally obtained content. The framework follows a "comply or explain" approach, meaning firms are expected to follow the code or publicly explain why they do not.

A new study says artificial intelligence can often work out where a photo was taken just by looking at the image.  A study by Mcafee found that AI models correctly identified the city and country in 87 to 91 percent of more than 21,000 travel photos.  AI did not need GPS information, location tags, captions, file names or hidden metadata; it looked for clues such as major buildings, road markings, shop signs, skylines and even food stalls.

Malaysia is turning to an unexpected solution to cool its booming AI data centres: palm oil. With nearly 40% of Southeast Asia's planned data centre capacity set to land in Malaysia, the country's water supply is under serious strain, with cooling systems currently using millions of litres a day. Researchers at the Malaysian Palm Oil Board have developed "Sawit EcoTherm," a palm-based liquid that could replace water-intensive cooling entirely.

China's push into humanoid robotics has hit the streets, literally. The city of Wuhu in Anhui Province has officially deployed "Wuyou Zhijing R001," a humanoid robot traffic officer, to assist human police at busy intersections. Dressed in a police uniform and cap, the robot uses a 360-degree camera, LiDAR, and millimeter-wave radar to direct traffic with standard hand gestures, issue voice warnings, and flag violations like jaywalking or missing helmets.

Researchers have achieved a historic and controversial milestone by using generative AI genome models to design completely functional, synthetic viruses from scratch. Published in the journal Science, the AI-created bacteriophages successfully targeted and destroyed antibiotic-resistant superbugs in lab tests. However, leading health security experts are raising urgent biosecurity alarms, warning that the technology could be misused to design lethal human pathogens. We break down the science, the booming AI bio-market, the safety caveats, and the growing risks of AI.

The AI nightmare just got real: It can design viruses

Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare, accelerating drug discovery, improving disease detection, and helping develop vaccines faster than ever before. But a groundbreaking new study has revealed another capability that is raising serious questions worldwide.

Scientists have successfully used AI to design virus genomes under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. Researchers say the goal was to improve virus surveillance, vaccine research, and scientific understanding—not to create dangerous pathogens. However, the breakthrough has sparked concerns about biosecurity and the potential misuse of advanced AI in synthetic biology.
