Huawei unveils soft AI assistant with mood memory for $57

Huawei introduced an interactive toy called AI Pet — a soft character with a built-in chatbot. The device responds to touch and voice, stores conversation history that over time helps it better adapt to its owner. A HarmonyOS 5 app is available for control.

Appearance and interface

The gadget resembles a compact fluffy ball with screen-eyes, has paws and a loop for attaching to keys or a backpack. The expression of the eyes changes according to its emotional state, and the voice intonation is adjusted depending on the user's tone. All conversations are accumulated in a kind of "mood diary." Accessories are available for personalization — glasses, hats and bows.

Technical specifications and battery

The AI Pet weighs about 140 g and has compact dimensions. In active conversation mode the battery lasts up to 8 hours; a full charge takes approximately 6 hours, and normal use provides about two days of battery life.

In China the toy is sold for 399 yuan (approximately $57). The package includes a charging cable, a brush and a strap. A subscription is required to access the full set of features; the first three months of subscription are included in the price. Dates for the device's appearance on other markets have not yet been announced.

Recently, other devices with conversational chatbots have also appeared: a talking plush bear from ByteDance is back on sale with a chatbot, and ChatGPT has gained a voice mode in chat.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
