CBS Explores Rise of Deepfake AI Videos in New Report
A CBS New York report warns that deepfake AI videos are becoming more convincing and harder to detect. Experts say these videos are increasingly being used in political misinformation, scams, and personal revenge. Law enforcement and media outlets are scrambling to keep up with detection technologies. The report highlights the urgency for regulation and AI watermarking.

What does the future hold for generative AI?
When OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world in 2022, it brought generative artificial intelligence into the mainstream and started a snowball effect that led to its rapid integration into industry, scientific research, health care, and the everyday lives of people who use the technology.
What comes next for this powerful but imperfect tool?
With that question in mind, hundreds of researchers, business leaders, educators, and students gathered at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium for the inaugural MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium (MGAIC) Symposium on Sept. 17 to share insights and discuss the potential future of generative AI.

Beyond the Horizon: How Angular is Embracing AI for Next-Gen Apps
At the AI developer event, you learned about our plans around critical AI technologies and how Angular is reshaping itself to meet the needs of the developer community of today and the burgeoning community of tomorrow. Angular of the future is a framework for builders across the spectrum — it’s for people who want to create apps by primarily using AI-powered tools (including vibe coding) as well as experienced developers who want to have a coding agent work as a partner in the development of tools.
No matter the tool, we want Angular to fit into your story and make sure that LLMs produce excellent code quality for your Angular applications. Which is why we created the Web Codegen Scorer which we’re now sharing with you. Read the given article for further details.

How to pre-render Dynamic Routes in Angular: A Practical Guide
Angular's Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is a powerful tool for creating fast, SEO-friendly applications. However, for content that rarely changes—like blog posts, product pages, or newsletters—running a full rendering cycle for every user visit can be inefficient, costing you server resources and money.
What if you could generate the static HTML for these pages just once, at build time? This is where pre-rendering shines. In this guide, we'll explore how to leverage Angular's pre-rendering capabilities, specifically for dynamic routes, using the getPrerenderParams function.

Angular's new AI superpower 💪🏻
A groundbreaking update to the Angular CLI is transforming how developers integrate AI into their workflow. With the new ng new command, the CLI now prompts you to select and configure AI tools like Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or Windsurf right from the start.
It automatically generates configuration files (e.g., .gemini/GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md) prefilled with best practices for TypeScript and Angular, covering components, state management, templates, and services. This built-in “prompt engineering” ensures your AI pair programmer produces consistent, high-quality code aligned with modern Angular standards—making it easier than ever to level up your development process.

API Idempotency: Why Your System Needs It?
In any system, there are processes that cannot be duplicated and the system must be resilient to duplicate requests. It's better to prevent issues rather than correct them later down the line.
Clients retry failed requests. Your system processes them multiple times. Data gets corrupted. Explore the given article for a detailed guide.

TypeScript Types Are The Best Kind Of Magic
The received wisdom among developers is to avoid magic: magic numbers, magic strings, and framework-flavored "auto-magic". It's brittle, it's unpredictable, and it's not explicit. On the other hand, Arthur C. Clarke stated that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
So: Is some bit of magic code a hand grenade with the pin pulled, or are we just not clever enough to get it? Is there any way to tell the difference? Explore the article to read about it.
