META WANTS TO ACCESS EVERY PHOTO IN YOUR CAMERA ROLL 👁️

Ummm … I better delete some stuff. 🙃

What’s going on? Facebook is testing a new feature that asks users to let Meta’s AI access their phone’s camera roll to suggest creative edits—even for photos never uploaded to the app.

How does this work? When creating a new Story on Facebook, users may now see a pop-up asking if they want to enable “cloud processing.” If accepted, this allows Meta to regularly upload photos from the device to its servers in order to generate AI-powered suggestions like collages, animations, and themed recaps. While the company says only the user sees these suggestions (unless shared), agreeing also grants Meta permission to analyze the images—including faces and objects—under its AI Terms of Service.

What does this mean? This raises huge privacy questions. Meta claims it won’t use the images to train its AI models in this test, but the broad permissions and vague terms about “personal information” leave many unsure what they’re really opting into.

CHINA TO HOST “ROBOT OLYMPICS” THIS SUMMER 🦾

Q: Why can’t Cinderella play soccer?

A: Because she always runs away from the ball. ⚽️

What happened? In Beijing, teams of AI-powered humanoid robots competed in a 3-on-3 soccer tournament, operating entirely without human control or intervention. The event served as a trial run for the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games, which China will host in Beijing, Aug. 15–17. The event will feature 11 robot sports, including gymnastics, track and field, and soccer.

How did this work? The robot players, powered entirely by AI with no human input, used advanced visual sensors to find the ball, navigate the field, and even try to get back on their feet after falling. Though the game looked like a slow-motion mess of tumbles and missed goals, each bot represented cutting-edge progress in embodied AI and robotics hardware integration. This effort comes after the recent robot half-marathon and boxing exhibition.

Why does this matter? China is investing billions in next-gen robotics, aiming to dominate a global humanoid market expected to hit $108 billion by 2028. Sports serve as an ideal testing ground, pushing these bots to adapt to complex environments—and one day, they may work safely alongside humans in factories or even play soccer with us.

SCIENTISTS TRACK HUMPBACK WHALE MIGRATION WITH AI 🐳

Whales routinely go three to four months without eating. 🤯

What’s going on? Scientists are using AI to track humpback whale migration across the world’s oceans.

How does this work? For years, marine biologists have photographed the distinctive tails of humpback whales in order to track them. However, scientists are now using facial-recognition technology to offer new insights into their habits and health. The “facial” recognition technology is used to capture the unique patterns, shapes, and scars of each whale’s tail, which makes them individually recognizable. Normally, analyzing photos of tails from one voyage could take up to a year, but with AI recognition tools, it can be done in about two days. With a new website, anyone in the world can upload a whale photo to “Happy Whale” to help track whales across the globe.
