What’s happened? During an invite-only press roundtable during IFA 2025, AMD SVP and GM for the Computing and Graphics Group, Jack Huynh shared his thoughts on where AI is, and where it’s going – suggesting we’ve merely scratched the surface of what’s possible.

  • During the briefing Huynh said “I still think we’re in the early innings of AI PC, and there’s still many, many innings left to play”.
  • He pointed out how quickly AI has moved forward in the last 12 to 15 months, when text-to-image was a big deal, and now we’re seeing text-to-video, and text-to-video with voice.
  • While some might already be feeling AI fatigue from the amount of hype in recent years, Huynh doesn’t think there’s been enough talk about the potential which lays before us.
  • “Many people think AI is overhyped – I personally think it’s underhyped” Huynh told us. “I’m looking at development factors and what’s possible. The progress is exponential.”

Why this matters: Huynh isn’t looking at the next three to six months of development, he and his team are working on AI for the next three to five years. As he puts it, “we’re working on things that haven’t been invented yet”.

  • While many new laptops are launched with the likes of Microsoft’s Copilot AI built in – such as the recently announced Acer Swift Air 16 – compelling use cases for the technology remain few and far between.
  • What Huynh is saying is there’s more AI innovation ahead of us than behind us, which means in the coming years we should see more exciting implementations of the technology.
  • Ultimately, Huynh believes AI “could be a great tool to advance the human race.” It might just take some time for this vision to be realized.

Arc browser farewell note.

Arc browser is shutting down on December 22, following a long spell of maintenance-only work as the company behind it moves forward with its successor, Dia. Earlier today, The Browser Company announced that the beloved web browser will ride into the sunset in two months, but will continue development of the Dia browser.

"That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community," says the company.

1Password is expanding its secure login system to Muse, Claude Duet, Dots, ChatGPT Work, and more.
1Password for AI Agents launched

The next chapter of AI is knocking on our doors, as AI agents like Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots, Gemini Spark, among others, are becoming mainstream, and they are genuinely quite useful for a lot of things, ranging from being your personal assistant all the way to helping you manage a small business. However, many are still quite hesitant about giving these agents access to your accounts and their sensitive credentials.

1Password thinks it has a fix for that trust problem. Its new 1Password for Agents platform lets AI agents sign in to your accounts without ever seeing or storing the passwords, sensitive information, or other credentials they need.

AI chatbots are falling prey to manipulative prompts that could help stalkers spy on victims
Confident answers, dangerous gaps: why survivors need humans first.

Chatbots have one talent I can't stop noticing: they sound sure, even when they're wrong. Usually, that's merely annoying. When someone's safety is on the line, it's dangerous.

A new NYU Tandon study tested four AI chatbots on real questions about being stalked or controlled through devices, and experts rated 86% of replies inaccurate, incomplete, or unsafe (via NYU Tandon).
