Amazon thinks you love AI, so it has launched a special storefront for AI-powered gadgets

You're browsing for a new laptop — one has a better processor, another has more RAM, a third says "AI-powered" in bold letters, and you're not entirely sure what that means. But Amazon has noticed you pausing on that third one, and it has thoughts. The company just launched an AI Store on Amazon.in — a dedicated storefront that rounds up AI-enabled gadgets across categories, from smartphones and laptops to refrigerators and washing machines. So, instead of you wading through spec sheets trying to figure out which "AI feature" actually does something useful, the store spells it out for you.

Gemini now makes personalized images by understanding your taste from Photos library

Up until now, using Google Gemini meant being very specific. If you wanted an image, you’d spell it all out, the mood, the lighting, the tiny details, just to get something close to what you had in mind. That’s still how most AI tools operate. But this is where things start to shift. With the integration of Nano Banana 2 and Google Photos, Gemini feels much more familiar. It leans on your preferences, what you like, what you usually capture, and the kind of visuals you gravitate towards, and uses that context to shape what it creates for you.

So instead of over-explaining every prompt, you’re nudging it in a direction, and it fills in the rest in a way that feels personal. The goal here is simple: spend less time describing and more time seeing your ideas come to life, almost the way you imagined them, without having to say everything out loud.

This AI lets self-driving cars “remember” past drives to plan safer routes

A memory of the past could make self-driving cars safer on the road

One of the biggest problems with self-driving systems is that they can see the road perfectly well and still make shaky short-term decisions in messy city traffic. The advanced systems struggle to keep up with complex and fluctuating road situations. But a new study argues that these cars don't need better vision, but a better memory.

In the peer-reviewed paper KEPT (Knowledge-Enhanced Prediction of Trajectories from Consecutive Driving Frames with Vision-Language Models), researchers from Tongji University and collaborators developed a system that helps autonomous vehicles "remember" past driving scenes before choosing what to do next.
