Welcome to Fox News' Artificial Intelligence Newsletter, featuring the latest advancements in AI technology.
In today's newsletter:
– AI is driving a blue-collar productivity boom across manufacturing, Palantir's head of technology tells FOX Business
– New exoskeleton adapts to terrain with smart AI power
– Purdue becomes first university to require AI competency for all undergraduates as universities scramble to adapt
Rise of the Machine: Shyam Sankar, Palantir's chief technology officer, told FOX Business that artificial intelligence is fueling a blue-collar productivity boom, not mass unemployment as predicted by Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sankar said AI is accelerating jobs, training and the growth of U.S. industry.
Smart steps: Recreational exoskeletons have been around for years, but the new IRMO M1 exoskeleton feels like a tipping point. This next-generation wearable combines artificial intelligence (AI), a forward-facing camera, LADAR sensors, and lightweight robotics to dramatically improve your leg strength on the trails and streets.
With training and assist modes, M1 adapts to your goals, whether you need more power or more strength. (IRMO)
Rewiring education: Purdue University announced that it will be the first higher education institution to complete a new “AI practical competency” requirement for all undergraduate students at its main campuses in Indianapolis and West Lafayette starting in 2026.
“Different influences”: White House AI and cryptocurrency czar David Sachs on Tuesday accused blue states of bringing a “woke” ideology to artificial intelligence, as the Trump administration seeks to reduce what he called “unnecessary” regulation of rapidly evolving technologies.
Eyes to the future: Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering a new phase in 2026, with the potential to reshape business operations, global competition and even workforce development, according to Marco Argenti, chief information officer at Goldman Sachs.

“Easier to use”: OpenAI announced updates to ChatGPT images. They say this significantly increases both the image generator's generation speed and instruction-following capabilities. The update makes it much easier to precisely edit AI-generated images, according to a company blog post on Tuesday. Previous iterations of the program have struggled to follow instructions and often made unrequested changes.
Hands-free technology: Chrome on Android offers new ways to digest information when your hands are busy and your eyes need a break. A new update powered by Google Gemini lets you turn written web pages into short podcast-style summaries. Two virtual hosts chat about content, making it easy to follow while commuting or multitasking.
DeSantis VS. Trump: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday said state officials have the right to regulate artificial intelligence despite President Trump's recent executive order mandating national AI standards, arguing that the president is overriding state laws.
Technology force: The Trump administration on Monday launched a new initiative aimed at recruiting top technology talent to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) at the federal level. The recruitment program, known as “Tech Force,” will hire approximately 1,000 early career technicians across various federal agencies for two-year terms.

Home run: Baseball teams have long sought ways to study the entire swing without using sensors or complex laboratory setups. Today, new solutions are emerging. Theia, an AI biomechanics company, has debuted a video-only commercial system that analyzes bat trajectories and whole-body biomechanics together. This new approach works in a real baseball environment and does not require reflective body markers, wearables, or special equipment.
Policing push: Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., last week helped pass the AI Civil Rights Act to prevent companies from using what Democrats describe as “biased and discriminatory AI-powered algorithms.”
Price difference: An investigation by Consumer Reports and the Groundwork Collaborative found that Instacart is conducting AI-powered pricing experiments that dramatically increase the price of the same product for different customers.
