    Sky refreshes its Glass TVs.

    The British broadcaster is launching its second-generation Sky Glass lineup in the UK tomorrow, designed to stream Sky TV over Wi-Fi. The new generation offers “an even brighter 4K HDR screen,” and a built-in seven-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system. Prices start at £14 per month, with 43-, 55-, and 65-inch models available in three colors: gray, silver, and blue.

    Sky also says a cheaper Sky Glass Air line is launching “later this year.”

    France has its own ‘Stargate.’

    President Emmanuel Macron announced that €109 billion (around $112 billion) in private sector investments will be put into AI in France over the coming years.

    Macron said the move is “equivalent” to the $500 billion AI data center project announced by President Trump last month ($100 billion of which is being deployed immediately), and that “Europe and France must accelerate their investments” to secure a foothold against the US and China in the global AI industry.
