    Sony's new robot can beat pro ping-pong players

    Sony AI just unveiled Ace, an autonomous table-tennis robot featured on the cover of Nature that defeated elite and professional human players on a full-size court under official ITTF rules. Equipped with 12 high-speed sensors yielding a 10.2 ms perception latency, Ace trained entirely in simulation to read intense spin and swing in real time. It marks a massive leap for physical AI handling split-second, high-speed physical interaction.

    Sony AI built a 10,000-photo dataset to catch computer vision bias

    Sony AI just published FHIBE in Nature, a benchmark dataset featuring 10,318 consent-based photos of 1,981 individuals across 81 countries. Unlike typical web-scraped sets, it includes self-reported demographics covering age, pronouns, ancestry, and skin tone. It aims to set a cleaner, more diverse standard to expose bias in facial recognition and autonomous driving systems.
