2026: La IA de Meta aprieta el acelerador en recomendaciones, anuncios y mensajería
By Natalia Polo — 2026-02-01
Meta says AI now underpins everything from feed ranking and Reels to ad measurement and WhatsApp, reporting gains like +7% organic post views on Facebook, double-digit video time growth in the U.S., and a 20% lift in Threads time. On the ads side, generative tools hit a $10B run-rate, new attribution models boosted measured incremental conversions by 24%, and upgraded ranking models delivered upticks in clicks and conversions. Messaging monetization is accelerating, and early “Business AIs” on WhatsApp are handling 1M+ weekly conversations—great for scale, but a reminder that more automation also means more black-box dependency for marketers.
Le robot Figure 03 s’occupe vraiment de la vaisselle
By Olivier — 2026-02-01T14:00:00+01:00
Figure AI’s third‑gen humanoid, Figure 03, showcases hands‑off dishwashing powered by its new Helix 02 brain that unifies perception, touch, balance, and manipulation. The bot brings upgraded cameras (including in‑palm), five hours of autonomy, and a design aimed at mass production, with an initial factory target of 12,000 units per year. It’s an impressive demo, but pricing, availability, and performance in messy real homes remain unanswered.
Behind robotaxis are thousands of humans helping the AI drive better
By Lloyd Lee — 2026-02-01T09:44:01.411Z
The autonomous future still runs on human labor: thousands of annotators label complex driving scenarios so AV models can safely navigate edge cases. While AI now “pre‑labels” some data, people remain critical for quality, with some workers paid just $3–$6 an hour and AV‑related headcount still under 5,000 globally. Expect humans to focus more on diagnosing tricky, real‑world situations as fleets scale and models mature.
‘The amount of AI slop we’re served is incredible’: 5 questions with Tom Allen
By Natalie Fear — 2026-02-01
Buff’s Tom Allen argues that the glut of lazy AI output actually makes thoughtful, handcrafted motion stand out even more. He champions motion that’s specific to each brand’s voice and warns against generic animation “templates,” while noting B Corp certification helps formalize people‑first studio practices. Staying relevant, he says, means community presence, clarity of positioning, and consistent craft.
I thought I’d hate Spotify’s AI playlists, but I don’t
By Ryan Haines — 2026-02-01
Spotify’s Prompted Playlists can hit the mark—if you’re precise. Asking for familiar anchors plus new discoveries yields sets that explain why each track was chosen, though BPM swings can be wide for workouts. The takeaway: iterate your prompts to balance vibe, tempo, and novelty for better music discovery.
AIの次なる実装フェーズ：2026年1月に最も読まれた10本のストーリー
By Ritsuko Kawai — 2026-02-01
WIRED.jp’s January roundup highlights a shift from “AI everywhere” to how AI is implemented in the physical world, a theme echoed at CES 2026. Rumors of an OpenAI consumer device and renewed interest in commercial fusion signal a year focused on real‑world deployment, not just demos. The curation tracks where hype meets tangible impact.
恒星が爆発する“瞬間”の撮影に成功、夜空に輝く新星の真の姿
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
Scientists captured the earliest moments of a nova on a white dwarf’s surface, revealing it’s not a single, impulsive blast. Instead, multiple outflows and delayed ejections complicate the picture of how these stellar events brighten our sky. The findings refine models of nova dynamics and energy release.
ノイズキャンセリングは次のフェーズへ。音を“消す”だけではない進化が始まっている
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
Noise canceling is evolving from blanket suppression to context‑aware control across earbuds, smart glasses, and biomimetic materials. The goal is not just silence, but selective hearing that enhances safety and comfort. Expect more personalization and transparency modes tailored to real‑world soundscapes.
AIブームが招いた「メモリ不足危機」を終わらせるための挑戦
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
AI demand is straining RAM supply chains, with no quick fix in sight. Chipmakers and startups are racing to expand capacity and rethink architectures to alleviate bottlenecks. Until then, device makers face hard trade‑offs on cost, performance, and availability.

By Unknown — Date: Unknown
Commercial fusion edges closer as firms like Helion, Proxima Fusion, and TAE pursue diverse approaches. While timelines remain debated, investment and partnerships are accelerating. If realized, fusion offers dense, low‑carbon energy with transformative implications.
AIがスマートフォンを葬り、“スクリーンの時代”を終わらせる
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
As AI interfaces mature, they could shift us away from constant screen use toward ambient, voice‑first, and agentic experiences. The piece asks why this disruption isn’t more widely discussed—and what it means for hardware and UX. The winners will master low‑friction, context‑aware interactions.
Grokが無断の性的ディープフェイクを“主流化”させている
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
Free, AI‑powered “undressing” tools on X are pushing non‑consensual sexual deepfakes into the mainstream. The normalization raises urgent ethical and legal concerns around consent, safety, and platform responsibility. Policymakers and platforms face mounting pressure to act.
「CES 2026」では何もかもがAIだ。次の競争軸は？
By Unknown — Date: Unknown
At CES 2026, nearly every product touts AI—but the differentiator is shifting from feature count to user experience. It’s about how products guide people to value, not just what they can do. Expect tighter integrations and clearer onboarding as the next battleground.
