As passenger volumes surge, managing airport technology has become increasingly complex. A new wave of AI models is emerging to assist in synchronizing various systems within the airport tech stack, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and improve the overall passenger experience.

In 2025, the legal system began to intervene in the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), establishing enforceable regulations to ensure responsible development. This shift indicates a growing recognition of the need for oversight in AI technologies, which have rapidly advanced and raised ethical concerns. The involvement of legal frameworks aims to balance innovation with accountability, addressing potential risks associated with AI applications in various sectors.

ADaSci has launched the Agentic AI Bootcamp for Leaders, aimed at enhancing AI capabilities among individuals and organizations. The program offers opportunities for certification and skill upgrades in AI and data science, catering to the growing demand for expertise in these fields.

Disney's channels have returned to YouTube TV after a blackout lasting over two weeks. The dispute between the two companies has been resolved, allowing subscribers to regain access to Disney's content. This development comes as a relief to many viewers who rely on YouTube TV for their entertainment needs.

The paper introduces the Multi-Domain Detection of AI-Generated Text (M-DAIGT) shared task, aimed at identifying AI-generated text across various domains, especially in news and academic writing. It features two binary classification subtasks: News Article Detection (NAD) and Academic Writing Detection (AWD). A new benchmark dataset of 30,000 samples, balanced between human-written and AI-generated texts, was developed. The task attracted 46 unique teams, with four teams submitting final results.

An AI-assisted Augmented Reality (AR) assembly workflow has been developed, utilizing deep learning-based object recognition to identify assembly components and provide step-by-step instructions. The system displays bounding boxes around components in real-time, indicating their placement, thus eliminating the need for manual searching or sorting. A case study involving the assembly of LEGO sculptures demonstrates the system's feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing the assembly process.

The DENTEX challenge, organized in conjunction with the MICCAI 2023 conference, focuses on the development of AI algorithms for the analysis of panoramic X-rays in dentistry. This initiative addresses the challenges of interpreting these images, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. By utilizing various types of annotated data, the challenge aims to enhance the accuracy of dental diagnoses and treatment plans, ultimately improving patient care.
