This summit will bring together leaders from the cultural sector, government, the technology sector, academia and civil society to explore the interactions between AI and culture and their policy implications, connect the cultural sector and Canada’s artificial intelligence research and business ecosystem, demonstrate opportunities for the cultural sector to adopt responsible Canadian AI solutions and explore the AI talent, skills and training needs for the cultural sector.

“AI is deeply changing the way we create, deliver and consume culture, and Canada needs a national approach on artificial intelligence and culture that drives responsible and productive AI adoption, facilitates innovation and competition, protects human creativity, and ensures cultural and economic sovereignty. The National Summit on AI and Culture is an important step in this vital work, keeping a responsible and human-centred approach along the way.” Said  Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages.

A recent 30-day national sprint to inform a new National AI Strategy included input from an AI Strategy Task Force and an open consultation that gathered over 11,000 submissions from the public. In 2026, the government will launch a renewed AI strategy to maintain Canada’s AI advantage and unleash its potential for economic growth and adoption.

At CES 2026, LG demonstrated how its AI systems sense conditions, process data and execute actions in real environments – what the company describes as a Sense-Think-Act operating model. Rather than limiting AI to software interfaces, LG is applying it across robots, appliances, vehicles and TVs to enable adaptive, context-aware operations.

Greeting visitors at the booth entrance, LG introduced the “In Tune” Monument – a large-scale installation composed of 38 LG OLED evo W6 TVs (Wallpaper TV), each measuring just 9 millimeters class thin. The screens were arranged to appear as if floating in midair, seamlessly synchronized to create one continuous visual canvas. When the individual screens united into a single, dynamic image, they conveyed  the message of “Innovation in tune with you.”

 Designed as a home-specialized AI robot with safety and reliability at its core, LG CLOiD operates seamlessly within real living environments. The demonstrations highlighted LG CLOiD’s physical manipulation capabilities, including finger-level dexterity and full-arm movement, as well as its integration with LG’s AI Home Platform, ThinQ™. The zone also featured the enhanced ThinQ UP and ThinQ Care services. The coordinated, proactive care that these solutions provide help transform the home into an enriched and empathetic environment that understands and responds to residents’ evolving needs.

The LG OLED evo Wallpaper TV delivered the full intensity of LG OLED TV’s new Hyper Radiant Color Technology picture quality while highlighting its ultra-slim Wallpaper Design – made possible through True Wireless connectivity. The zone also introduces LG Gallery+, a webOS-based service that displays curated art and imagery based on user preferences.

LG also presented  its new flagship OLED evo G6 and Micro RGB evo TVs powered by the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen3 which featured Dual Super Upscaling to simultaneously process two types of AI upscaling. This enhances sharpness while delivering natural and balanced images that offer the highest level of clarity and immersion. The zone also featured the 136-inch AM Micro LED TV AI, which served as a platform for large-format premium content.

The LG SIGNATURE refrigerator incorporates LLM-based conversational AI for natural-language interaction and tailored suggestions.¹ The LG SIGNATURE Smart InstaView™ refrigerator streamlines food management through ThinQ™ Food, which uses an internal camera to identify stored items, suggest recipes and recommend substitutions based on the items inside.

The LG SIGNATURE Oven Range offers functions such as Gourmet AI, which used an AI camera inside the oven to identify more than 80 dishes and automatically select the ideal cooking settings. The AI Browning feature monitors bread as it bakes and sends a notification through the ThinQ app when it reaches the preset level of doneness.

LG has also created a dedicated exhibition space titled In Tune for Everyone, which connects the company’s ESG vision of Better Life for All. The exhibit features the Comfort Kit, designed to help people of all ages and abilities use LG appliances with greater ease, along with Easy-to-Read Books, developed to help slow learners and children with developmental disabilities better understand appliance function and usage.

Las Vegas: The contrast between CES 2025 and CES 2026 is stark. While CES 2025 focused on proving the possibilities of artificial intelligence, extended reality, and robotics, CES 2026 emphasized execution, deployment, and monetization.

In 2025, exhibitors leaned heavily on generative AI demonstrations, early XR experiences, and conceptual robotics. The emphasis was on imagination and future potential. Investors explored broadly, and startups focused on visibility rather than revenue.

By 2026, the tone had changed. Autonomous AI agents replaced copilots. XR moved from entertainment to enterprise training, broadcasting, and commerce. Robotics appeared not as prototypes but as deployed systems in logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Most notably, CES 2026 reflected a market correction. Investors were selective, enterprises demanded ROI, and partnerships outweighed publicity. Companies that could demonstrate real customers, operating margins, and scalability dominated the conversation.

CES 2026 did not feel louder — it felt more serious.

The implication is clear: the era of experimentation has ended. The era of commercialization has begun.

As per reports, It’s a Universal Windows Platform app, so you would not have to connect your phone to use the Windows app.

The Windows app for WhatsApp comes with features including a new writing pad and support for multi-device functionality. The app is based on the Universal Windows Platform which means that in order to use the WhatsApp beta app for Windows, you will not need your phone in a working condition. The app is currently in beta, so one can expect WhatsApp to add more features or remove some existing ones.

Interestingly, Moto Watch 100 is the brand’s first watch to run its proprietary Moto Watch OS instead of WearOS. Motorola has used a 355mAh battery which is expected to deliver 14 days of battery life with a 1.3-inch circular LCD display with a 360×360 pixels resolution and an ‘Always On’ feature.

It is housed in a 42mm circular case which comes in Silver and Black colours. The watch is 5 ATM water-resistant and brings support for GPS, GLONASS and Bluetooth 5.0. Other than that, the watch can track heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep and more.

The financial services provider will take its processes on to Google Cloud servers. The two firms are planning on developing risk mitigation tools and other user-benefitting platforms for people entering the space of “derivatives”, which are financial instruments instead of assets.

Meanwhile, Google Cloud has also acknowledged the new partnership on Twitter.

“Today, we announced a 10-year strategic partnership with @CMEGroup to increase market access, create efficiencies for clients, and build new products and services for the financial services industry.”

The renaming is aimed at going beyond traditional social media and better reflecting the company’s ongoing investment towards an immersive experience called ‘metaverse’.

First spotted on recent WhatsApp beta versions for Android and iOS devices last week, the Meta branding has started to appear on the splash screens of the latest versions of WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook apps. The change comes as a result of the announcement that Facebook made last week to go with the Meta title.

It is unclear whether there are any changes coming to the Facebook apps as a result of the rebranding.

The change is that the iPhone 13 will disable Face ID if you get its cracked screen repaired by a local shop. Now, iFixit has confirmed the same and published a detailed report on how the new restriction brings a “dark day for fixers, both DIY and professional.” This change to the repair process of the iPhone 13 will also force third-party iPhone repair shops to shut down, India Today said in its report adding that iFixit said that the display of the iPhone 13 is managed by a small microcontroller. This means that repairing the display would require a microscope for “one of the most common phone repairs” that could easily be done previously with hand tools. Local shops often rely on these commonly-used apps for phone repairs, but to be able to repair the iPhone 13, they will have to make huge investments in new equipment. If they cannot, they would just be forced to shutter their iPhone repair business.

The microcontroller system, called “serialization” in the tongue of repair technology, is sophisticated, which is why third-party repair shops will find it nearly impossible to pair a new screen with an iPhone 13 unless they buy the expensive equipment. The serial number on the microcontroller will need to be verified with Apple servers for the pairing to work, otherwise, Face ID will not be activated. “Authorized technicians with access to proprietary software, Apple Services Toolkit 2, can make new screens work by logging the repair to Apple’s cloud servers and syncing the serial numbers of the phone and screen,” said iFixit in its report.

During a Senate Commerce subcommittee hearing, Haugen, who used to work as the lead product manager for Facebook’s civic misinformation team, called for transparency about how Facebook entices users to keep scrolling, creating ample opportunity for advertisers to reach them.

She said, “Facebook is choosing to grow at all costs and it is focusing on profits are being bought with our safety.”

Following this, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg rejected the allegations and said that they prioritise profit over safety and wellbeing is “just not true”.

He said that they deeply care about issues like safety, wellbeing and mental health. “It is difficult to see coverage that misrepresents our work and our motives. At the most basic level, I think most of us just don’t recognize the false picture of the company that is being painted,” Zuckerberg wrote in note to Facebook employees that he publicly posted on his Facebook page.
