 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept". Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting.

THAILAND HAS LAUNCHED ITS FIRST AI-POWERED POLICE ROBOT, NAMED AI POLICE CYBORG 1.0 OR POLICE COLONEL NAKHONPATHOM PLOD PHAI, DURING THE SONGKRAN FESTIVAL IN NAKHON PATHOM PROVINCE. (PHOTOS).


 

Thailand has launched its first AI-powered police robot, named AI Police Cyborg 1.0 or Police Colonel Nakhonpathom Plod Phai, during the Songkran festival in Nakhon Pathom province. 

The robot is designed to boost public safety during large gatherings by using artificial intelligence and facial recognition to monitor crowds and detect security threats.


The robot, developed with help from local police and city authorities, is not mobile but is equipped with three wide-angle cameras that provide 360-degree surveillance. These cameras gather video from CCTV and drones. Its AI system analyzes the footage in real-time to detect aggressive behavior, unauthorized entry, or hidden weapons. It can also tell the difference between actual threats and harmless objects like water guns used during the Songkran celebration.


Facial recognition technology allows the robot to scan faces and match them with police databases. If it finds a match, it sends an alert to officers. All data is sent live to a command center. This move is part of Thailand’s broader push for digital security tools, including earlier efforts in 2025 to use biometrics to track undocumented workers.


While the robot has drawn praise for improving event safety and showing Thailand’s progress in smart policing, some critics are worried. Human rights groups have raised concerns about privacy and the lack of strong laws to prevent misuse of AI and biometric data. The robot’s actual impact on safety is still unclear, and many are waiting to see if it can deliver real results beyond its initial showcase.
