As AI-generated artwork becomes more commonplace, it still won't be able to be copyrighted, according to US courts. On Monday, the US Supreme Court declined to hear a case about whether an artwork generated with the help of AI can be copyrighted.

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Lenovo showed me one of the most impressive hardware experiments on its booth floor: the ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept. At first glance, it looks like a fairly standard 14-inch notebook. Clean lines, a thin chassis, and a business-friendly design. Nothing unusual. Then you turn it around. On the back of the lid, there is a second 14-inch world-facing display. Lenovo calls it a world-facing... Read more ›
