Judge OKs Book Use for AI

What's the story:

A judge ruled that Anthropic can legally use books it bought to train its AI, but they’re still in big trouble for using pirated books they downloaded from the internet.

Key Takeaways:

  • Training AI with purchased books = Fair Use

  • Copying books from pirate sites = Not OK

  • A separate trial will decide if Anthropic has to pay for using pirated books

  • The court says teaching AI is like teaching kids — it’s allowed if done right

  • This ruling may shape future AI copyright laws

Why It’s Important:

This is one of the first big court decisions about AI and copyright. It shows where the legal line might be drawn — between fair learning and illegal copying — and could affect how all AI companies train their models in the future.

Google’s AI Runs on Robots!

What's the story: 

Google launched a new AI model called Gemini Robotics On-Device that helps robots do tasks like folding clothes — without needing the internet.

Key Takeaways:

  • The AI runs directly on robots, no Wi-Fi needed

  • It can be trained by showing just 50–100 examples

  • Robots did real tasks like unzipping bags and assembling machines

  • Works on multiple robot types like Franka FR3 and Apollo

  • Google also launched a toolkit (SDK) to help developers train robots

Why It’s Important:

This could make robots way more useful in homes, factories, or anywhere with weak or no internet. It also shows how fast AI is moving into the real world — not just in computers, but in robots that move and act like us.
