Amazon unveils AI smart glasses for its delivery drivers | TechCrunch

Amazon is trialing AI-powered smart glasses that give delivery drivers hands-free scanning, navigation, safety cues, and proof-of-delivery to speed up last-mile routes.

More Insights:

Glasses overlay hazards and tasks; scan packages, guide turn-by-turn on foot, and capture delivery proof.

Auto-activate when the van parks; help find the right parcel in-vehicle and navigate complex apartments/businesses.

Paired vest controller adds physical controls, a swappable battery, and an emergency button.

Works with prescription and light-adapting lenses; pilots underway in North America ahead of broader rollout.

Roadmap: wrong-address “defect” alerts, pet detection, and low-light adjustments; launched alongside “Blue Jay” warehouse arm and Eluna AI ops tool.

Why it matters: If AR meaningfully cuts seconds per stop and reduces errors, it could reshape the economics—and safety—of last-mile logistics, signaling a future where AI quietly augments every movement of frontline work.

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory.

Key findings:

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue. 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions. 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information. Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance. According to the Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report 2025, 7% of total online news consumers use AI assistants to get their news, rising to 15% of under-25s.

DHS Asks OpenAI to Unmask User Behind ChatGPT Prompts, Possibly the First Such Case
DHS Asks OpenAI to Unmask User Behind ChatGPT Prompts, Possibly the First Such Case

A Department of Homeland Security child-exploitation unit secured what Forbes calls the first federal search warrant seeking OpenAI user data. Investigators want records linked to a ChatGPT user they say runs a child-abuse website. Court filings show the suspect shared benign prompts about Star Trek and a 200,000-word Trump-style poem with an undercover agent. DHS is not requesting identifying information from OpenAI because agents believe they have already tracked down the 36-year-old former U.S. Air Force base worker. Forbes calls the warrant a turning point, noting AI companies have largely escaped the data grabs familiar to social networks and search engines. The outlet says law enforcement now views chatbot providers as fresh troves of evidence.

Google users are less likely to click on links when an AI summary appears in the results
Google users are less likely to click on links when an AI summary appears in the results

Recent Pew Research found that when Google shows an AI Overview summary, only 8% of users click through to actual websites (versus 15% when there's no AI summary). That's a 50% drop in clicks. For questions starting with “who,“ “what,“ “when,“ or “why,“ Google now triggers AI summaries 60% of the time. Users rarely click the sources cited in AI summaries; it happens in just 1% of visits to pages with AI Overviews.
