This Week in Tech: Smarter homes, smaller memory, bigger worries

The tech landscape saw significant shifts this week, led by LG’s introduction of the ThinQ Claw AI agent for smart homes and the FDA’s approval of the Libre Duo 10 Day wearable for glucose and ketone monitoring. Cybersecurity concerns intensified as the Financial Stability Board warned of risks posed by frontier AI models crossing national borders. Meanwhile, Google announced upcoming Android memory limits to combat global RAM shortages exacerbated by AI data center demands. The Pentagon expanded its AI capabilities with the secure GenAI.mil portal, while Instagram moved to label AI-generated profiles to combat misinformation. Other notable developments include the launch of the CamerJet toothbrush, the rise of the anti-AI app Divine, the debut of the UK’s Endeavor 1.0 AI model, and Norway’s potential legislative crackdown on privacy-invasive smart glasses. These updates highlight a growing tension between rapid AI innovation and the need for stricter regulatory oversight and hardware efficiency.
