How Is AI Expansion Affecting Microsoft’s Climate Commitments?

By Khwaish Manwani | July 10, 2026

Microsoft’s newest report depicts how the artificial intelligence boom affects the organization’s climate promises. The company said that its greenhouse gas emissions rose 27% in the fiscal year, reaching 21.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. It also mentions that its revenue rose by 15%. The increase demonstrates the need for massive cooling power and electricity to sustain artificial intelligence architecture, pushing data centers to consume more natural resources such as water and electricity. For Microsoft, the issue is no longer about building artificial intelligence systems, but about doing so without affecting its sustainability promises. Why is AI Growth Driving […]

Meta’s “Super Sensing” AI Glasses Explained: Features, Privacy Concerns, and More

By Devanshi Kashyap | July 9, 2026

Meta is reportedly developing a new generation of AI powered “super sensing” smart glasses that could change how people interact with AI. Unlike today’s wearables, which respond only after you activate them or take a photo or video, Meta’s next prototype is said to constantly watch and listen to your environment. The idea is for the AI assistant to always know what you see and hear, so it can answer questions based on your recent experiences. From helping users remember where they left everyday items to recalling conversations or identifying people they met earlier, the glasses aim to function as […]

OpenAI Launches GPT Live for Real-Time Voice Conversation

By Khwaish Manwani | July 9, 2026

OpenAI’s GPT Live works to make AI voice less machine-generated and more like an actual conversation. Instead of adhering to a speak-halt-reply rhythm, the new voice can listen and speak at the same time. Ahead of that, it can also take pauses, interrupt politely, and answer in a way that suits how people communicate. That makes it useful not just for quick commands but for everyday life. From language practice to back-and-forth deep thinking, it has it all. It is not just about better command but a voice interface that feels adaptable, natural, and easy to use. How OpenAI’s GPT […]
