Google appears to be quietly turning Snapseed into something more than just a photo editing app. Over the past few weeks, the company has been steadily adding new capabilities to Snapseed Camera, its standalone camera app for Android. The latest update introduces two practical features that many smartphone users have come to expect from modern camera apps: the ability to save an untouched copy of every image for future editing and support for embedding location data directly into photos. Neither feature is flashy, but together they make Snapseed Camera a more capable photography tool, particularly for users who like experimenting…

The streaming giant is refining the rules governing its lucrative YouTube Partner Program (YPP) to specifically target “inauthentic content” designed solely for low-effort content farming. Rather than banning artificial intelligence altogether, the revised policy outlines three distinct categories of content that will no longer qualify for ad revenue. Here’s what changes for creators First on the chopping block is generic and repetitive material created quickly using AI, CGI, or templates with minimal variation from video…
AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.

Samsung’s upcoming smartwatches may have another couple of meaningful upgrades hiding up their sleeves.

As generative AI becomes increasingly capable of producing videos that are nearly indistinguishable from real footage, the race is no longer just about creating synthetic media. It’s about detecting it before it spreads. At SIGGRAPH 2026, NVIDIA unveiled Synthetic Video Detector, a new AI-powered verification tool designed to identify AI-generated videos with remarkable speed and accuracy. Rather than replacing traditional fact-checking or forensic analysis, the company says the technology is intended to give newsrooms, broadcasters and enterprises another layer of confidence before synthetic videos enter the public domain. The announcement comes at a time when deepfake videos are becoming increasingly…

It is built around an Nvidia Orin-Y chip and a genuinely stacked sensor suite. So what makes Falcon 700 worth paying attention to?
