A robot has performed realistic surgery on its own with 100% accuracy, researchers have announced. In a “major leap” towards using more robots in operating theatres, a machine trained on the videos of surgeries was able to remove a gallbladder from a life-like patient.

OpenAI is planning to introduce a web browser that would be available as an alternative to Safari and Google Chrome, reports Reuters. The AI-powered web browser is “close” to being ready to launch, and it will debut in the coming weeks.
The OpenAI browser will use artificial intelligence to change how consumers browse the web, and it will give OpenAI access to the very web search data that has allowed Google Chrome to remain the top browser option. OpenAI has asked for Google’s search data to improve SearchGPT in the past, but Google refused. MacRumors

It wasn’t just a big foldables fest either, with Samsung also delivering the Galaxy Watch 8 series. Tech Radar
