Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge The Federal Trade Commission has announced a final rule banning companies from creating or selling fake reviews, including AI-generated ones. Once it goes into effect, the FTC can take action against companies that violate the policy. The new rule could help address AI-generated reviews that pop up on sites across the web, including Amazon. Here are the types of deceptive practices the FTC’s new rule prohibits: Offering incentives to customers in exchange for writing positive or negative feedback. Reviews and testimonials written by “insiders” at a company who fail to “clearly and conspicuously” disclose their affiliation with the business. Company-controlled review websites, which often advertise themselves as providing independent... Continue reading…

Image: The Verge Valve has started publicly testing sorting reviews in the Steam store based on how well they help players make purchase decisions about games. Historically we’ve sorted reviews by the number of ‘helpful’ votes given to each review by other players. However, we’ve seen that many players use reviews for sharing jokes, memes, ascii art and other content that might not be the most helpful for a potential purchaser. Its solution to the problem is the new “helpfulness system,” which introduces an enabled-by-default “most helpful” toggle that skips past highly upvoted ASCII art or memes to show reviews Valve deems more informative.

Detecting an offside violation can be difficult. | Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images The UK’s top soccer league is switching up the tech it uses to detect offside violations on the football pitch. The English Premier League (EPL) has contracted with a company called Genius Sports, which will use dozens of iPhones combined with machine-learning models to help game officials make an offside call. Offside violations aren’t always clear-cut, especially when players are grouped in a way that blocks officials and even multiple camera angles from seeing enough detail to accurately call them. That’s where video assistant referee (VAR) systems usually come in, ostensibly filling in the gaps using cameras and machine learning. Soccer leagues have used VAR systems for years. FIFA, soccer’s global league, started officially using... Continue reading…

Apple's tabletop robotic project is finally taking shape, as the company is reportedly aiming for a 2026 release. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the device will feature a large, iPad-like display mounted on a "thin robotic arm." It tilts and rotates a full 360º, serving as a "smart home command center," a hub for FaceTime calls, and a home security monitoring tool. With a focus on Apple Intelligence and Siri, this device would recognize different voices in the house and perform a Center Stage-like feature to face users in the room whenever they speak to it. While Apple has been working on robotic home devices for some time now, Gurman says Apple has put Kevin Lynch, the company's VP of technology, in charge of this project. Several hundred people are reportedly working on the device. With a possible release date between 2026 and 2027, Apple aims at the high-end market, as this iPad-like robotic home device would cost around $1,000. At this moment, the first Apple home robot runs a modified version of iPadOS, but other details are unclear. In April, Gurman said the robotic smart display was reportedly much further along in development than the mobile robot the company has been working on. However, these products have been added and removed from the company’s roadmap many times. Still, Gurman reiterates what he said a few months ago, which is that this smart display would be able to mimic the movements of a person on a FaceTime call, such as shaking their head or nodding. It would also be able to lock on to a specific person in a crowd during a call, so the display would always center on them.
