Happy Monday,
Below you’ll find a quick overview of what’s been happening in the AI industry since our last newsletter. I hope you find it interesting!
As always, I’ve kept it short and to the point so you can easily stay up to date with the most important AI news.
🏭 Jeff Bezos Returns With a New AI Startup — Project Prometheus
Jeff Bezos is stepping back into operations as co-CEO of a new AI startup called Project Prometheus, which has already raised $6.2 billion to develop AI for robotics, engineering and manufacturing applications.
The move underscores a serious shift:
AI is no longer just digital—it’s entering the physical economy.
🚀 NVIDIA Soars While Google’s CEO Warns of an AI Bubble
While NVIDIA continues to break records in valuation, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc., told the BBC that the AI boom includes “elements of irrationality” and warned that no company will be immune if a bubble bursts.
The moment perfectly captures the tension between explosive AI growth and rising financial alarm.
“No firm is immune if AI bubble bursts, Google CEO tells BBC”

In San Francisco’s Mission District, a beloved bodega cat named KitKat—known locally as the “Mayor of 16th Street”—was struck and killed by a Waymo robotaxi, sparking local outrage and renewed scrutiny of autonomous-vehicle safety and community impact.
🤖 Russia’s First AI Cyber War Has Begun

📜 Epstein Files Spark Governance Crisis at OpenAI
In the wake of newly released emails linking Larry Summers with Jeffrey Epstein, Summers has resigned from the board of OpenAI and stepped back from roles at Harvard University, sparking a broader probe into board-level integrity in the AI industry.

🖼️ Google’s Nano Banana Raises the Bar for Image Generation
Nano Banana Pro, part of Gemini 3 Pro, is Google’s latest image-generation model and now delivers 4K-ready visuals with sharply defined text, better world-context understanding and studio-level editing controls built into tools like Google Photos and Google AI Studio.
🧱 Meta’s SAM 3D Makes Single-Photo 3D Reconstruction Accessible
SAM 3D from Meta Platforms enables users to turn a single image into a full 3D model — geometry, texture and layout—all inside a browser. It’s a major leap for creators, researchers and AR/VR developers who’ve long been limited to multi-view or manual 3D reconstruction workflows.
That’s it for this Monday.
Stay tuned 😉
