Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/400-keychain-pet-does-absolutely-nothing-5a42e439 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/400-keychain-pet-does-absolutely-nothing-5a42e439 Starboy is a $200–$440 star-shaped keychain with an OLED face, camera, and sensors that reacts to gestures like being flipped off or shaken — but deliberately does nothing useful. It has no app, no phone connection, and no subscription, by design. Creator Daniel Kuntz positions Starboy as a philosophical pushback against AI gadget culture, calling it a "f*ck you" to failed devices like Humane's Ai Pin. Despite using machine learning for face and gesture recognition, the team avoids the "AI" label entirely, marketing the toy as something that proudly promises not to change your life. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/hc-wainwright-slashes-rezolve-ai-earnings-forecast-04ff4e0f https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/hc-wainwright-slashes-rezolve-ai-earnings-forecast-04ff4e0f HC Wainwright lowered its FY2026 earnings estimate for Rezolve AI (RZLV) to ($0.09) per share from ($0.06), while maintaining a Buy rating and $12 price target. The analyst consensus remains a Moderate Buy with an average price target of $11. Shares surged 22.3% to open at $3.13, within a 52-week range of $1.07–$8.45. Institutional investors including HSBC, Caitong, and Quadrature Capital significantly increased their positions in Q4, with hedge funds collectively owning 27.96% of the stock. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/sg-americas-doubles-c3ai-stake-amid-struggles-4a079386 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/sg-americas-doubles-c3ai-stake-amid-struggles-4a079386 SG Americas Securities LLC increased its C3.ai position by 115% in Q4, acquiring 205,640 shares valued at approximately $5.18 million. Several other institutional investors also adjusted their holdings, with hedge funds collectively owning 38.96% of the company. Despite the institutional interest, C3.ai faces headwinds: Q4 revenue fell 46% year-over-year to $53.26M, missing estimates, and analysts hold a consensus "Reduce" rating with a $15.87 price target. Insider activity was mixed, with Chairman Thomas Siebel selling over 219,000 shares while Director Jim Snabe purchased 25,000. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-tools-boost-journalists-but-risks-lurk-67019bc4 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-tools-boost-journalists-but-risks-lurk-67019bc4 Artificial intelligence is transforming British journalism, with 81% of journalists using it daily despite 53% expressing ethical concerns.

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-shatters-myth-of-englands-north-south-divide-4ee59bab https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-shatters-myth-of-englands-north-south-divide-4ee59bab University of Manchester researchers used GeoAI techniques to analyze productivity across England's 296 local authorities between 2010 and 2022, revealing a far more complex picture than the traditional North-South narrative. Nearly half of local authorities underperformed on both productivity level and growth rate, while fewer than one in five achieved both. Key productivity drivers included information sector job concentration, higher wages, and proximity to productive neighbors. The study classified areas into 12 distinct productivity types, concluding that no single policy solution fits all and that national strategies must account for local spatial dynamics. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-cant-replace-human-trust-building-experts-warn-63e05e9d https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/ai-cant-replace-human-trust-building-experts-warn-63e05e9d Communication professionals at a Public Relations Consultants Association of Nigeria session in Lagos agreed that AI cannot replace human judgment in building trust.

Experts highlighted AI's role in amplifying misinformation, noting that generative AI can fabricate supporting images and videos, making crisis management increasingly complex. The consensus favored a hybrid model where AI supports speed and structure, while human creativity, emotional intelligence, and contextual awareness remain central to effective communication. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/googles-free-cash-flow-heading-to-zero-3e04abe0 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/googles-free-cash-flow-heading-to-zero-3e04abe0 Semianalysis CEO Dylan Patel predicts Google's free cash flow will hit zero in 2026, as Alphabet's capital expenditure guidance of $175-185 billion nearly matches its $164.7 billion in 2025 operating cash flow. Alphabet's capex has surged from $32.3 billion in 2023 to $91.4 billion in 2025, with another near-doubling projected. Patel frames this not as a warning but as bullish conviction, arguing Google and Amazon are history's best capital allocators. Amazon's free cash flow already collapsed 66% in 2025, while Meta and Microsoft are similarly spending aggressively on AI infrastructure. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/hollywood-reckons-with-ais-creative-takeover-36a8075a https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/hollywood-reckons-with-ais-creative-takeover-36a8075a A viral AI-generated fight scene featuring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt has reignited Hollywood's existential debate about artificial intelligence. Screenwriter Rhett Reese declared it "over for us," while Paul Schrader predicted film students will soon produce feature-length AI dramas in weeks on zero budget. Despite widespread resistance, many creatives privately admit using AI tools, and the 2023 writers' strike protections are proving difficult to enforce. As AI-assisted novels proliferate and filmmakers embrace the technology's democratising potential, the line between human creativity and machine generation grows increasingly blurred. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/visa-ai-agents-are-becoming-active-shoppers-5bfee4b1 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/visa-ai-agents-are-becoming-active-shoppers-5bfee4b1 Visa's new Business-to-AI (B2AI) report reveals AI is rapidly reshaping commerce. Nearly 40% of Americans have made purchases influenced by AI agents, while 53% of U.S. businesses surveyed would allow AI-to-AI price negotiation. Visa defines B2AI as an emerging model where AI agents actively participate in commercial decisions while humans retain accountability. Despite business enthusiasm—77% already using or piloting AI—consumers insist on maintaining trust and override capabilities. Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/palo-altos-2b-ai-bet-to-dominate-cybersecurity-69e4ba27 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/palo-altos-2b-ai-bet-to-dominate-cybersecurity-69e4ba27 Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora is wagering billions that AI will reshape cybersecurity, triggering massive vendor consolidation.

Screenwriters like Rhett Reese and Paul Schrader warn that one talented person with AI could soon produce a full feature film indistinguishable from studio releases. Yet resistance is quietly crumbling. Writers privately admit using AI for research and plotting, filmmakers see it as democratising big-budget storytelling, and even the 2023 Hollywood strikes couldn't fully contain it. As AI-assisted novels proliferate, the line between tool and replacement grows increasingly blurred.

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/openai-buys-tech-talk-show-tbpn-63e76e45 https://www.datagrom.com/ai-news/openai-buys-tech-talk-show-tbpn-63e76e45 OpenAI has acquired TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network), marking its first media company purchase. The popular Silicon Valley talk show, hosted by founders John Coogan and Jordi Hays, airs daily on YouTube and X, attracting top CEOs like Zuckerberg and Nadella. The show is on track to earn $30 million this year. TBPN will maintain its brand and claimed editorial independence, but will report to OpenAI's chief political operative Chris Lehane. Critics note the conflict of interest in an AI giant acquiring a show that covers its own industry, especially ahead of OpenAI's anticipated IPO.

Three councils have raised concerns at a state inquiry, pushing to cap construction and restrict where facilities can be built. The calls come as the federal government moves to fast-track data centre construction across Australia, highlighting a direct conflict between national digital infrastructure ambitions and local community needs.

EmDash uses TypeScript, runs on edge-distributed infrastructure, sandboxes plugins to limit security vulnerabilities, and features passkey-based authentication with no passwords. The platform is designed to be managed by AI agents for tasks like content migration and schema changes, with a built-in Model Context Protocol server enabling programmatic administration. While experts say mass WordPress migration is unlikely, EmDash signals where the CMS market is heading and raises the bar for competitors. It is available now on GitHub under an MIT license.
