At the Infosys Fanzone in RG this year, fans can take it a step further by stepping into an immersive LED cube to experience their personalised posters come to life. Developed with responsible AI principles, this feature ensures safe, ethical exploration of generative AI possibilities and rewards winners with tickets and vouchers for Roland-Garros.

The AI innovations at Roland-Garros build on a journey of AI advancements by Infosys, incorporating machine learning and applied AI into properties like Match Centre, AI Videos & AI-Assisted Journalism. These continue to evolve with expanded feature sets to enhance player performance, fan engagement and tournament experiences.

Beyond tech innovations, Infosys is also collaborating with Fête le Mur (FLM), a charity partner of FFT, to support tech-enabled learning initiatives for underprivileged youth in Paris. As part of this, FLM will help develop tennis-related learning modules on Infosys Springboard, a digital learning platform which enables upskilling for digital inclusion and social impact.

Nex and Zumba are teaming up to bring engaging dance workouts into the home to get families moving

Zumba is breaking out of the studio and into the living room, inviting the whole family to join in on the fun.

The dance-fitness juggernaut has inked a deal with Nex, a motion technology startup known for its controller-free gaming system, to bring a gamified Zumba experience to homes via Nex Playground. The immersive title, slated to launch in August, blends Zumba’s high-energy choreography with Nex’s AI-powered motion tracking and gamified scoring system.

The move marks a new chapter for both brands, with Zumba entering the world of at-home interactive fitness and Nex expanding beyond kid-centric gaming into the broader fitness category.

“Our partnership with Zumba is all about bringing their world-class dance-fitness experience into living rooms everywhere,” Nex co-founder and CEO David Lee said. “This collaboration is about more than just exercise–it’s about creating joyful, shared moments that get the whole family moving together. At Nex, we’re always developing new experiences with our full community in mind–because healthy screen-time isn’t just for kids, it’s for everyone.”

The Zumba title features a progression-based system, allowing players to unlock songs, styles and dance moves as they advance, all tracked in real-time with gamified scoring and feedback.

Designed with parents in mind, Nex Playground carries a kidSAFE+ certification and omits ads, internet connectivity and in-game purchases. All data is stored locally on the device, which also includes a built-in camera cover to reinforce privacy protections.

“This partnership will allow us to expand the Zumba experience beyond the studio, making it more accessible and engaging for families,” Zumba chief marketing officer Carolina Moraes said. “At Zumba, we want to make exercise feel less like a chore and more like a fun, social activity. By combining our infectious rhythms and easy-to-follow choreography with Nex’s innovative motion technology, we’re transforming how people of all ages experience fitness and fun at home!”

Nex Playground consoles can be found at retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart.

It’s a fiery one this week! World Series of Politics goes in hard on the Land of Lincoln, where another tax grab from the legislature puts further pressure on Illinois sports betting licensees. 

Is Illinois against tech innovation?

Does the Illinois sports betting tax grab essentially say the state is not a supporter of technological innovation? That’s Brandt Iden’s take and he warns it goes beyond gaming to target other technology innovators. How is that a sustainable strategy in the long-term?

To Brendan Bussmann, the sports betting tax grab is just further evidence of Illinois as a problem state for the gaming industry, especially in the wake of the Chicago casino project. “Illinois is just not a friendly space to go do business, plain and simple,” he says. 

Ohio springs an icasino surprise

After the Illinois fire has died down, attention turns to igaming in Ohio. It’s been a session of surprises, considering Hawaii’s unexpected charge to third on sports betting but, in a state where the governor has been particularly unfriendly towards sports betting, could we actually see something cross the line?

WASHINGTON — Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook’s parent company.

The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant.

The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center was actually slated to close in 2017 after years of financial losses but was saved by legislation in Illinois establishing a zero-emission credit program to support the plant into 2027. The agreement deal takes effect in June of 2027, when the state’s taxpayer funded zero-emission credit program expires.

With the arrival of Meta, Clinton’s clean energy output will expand by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs and bring in $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to the companies. The plant currently powers the equivalent of about 800,000 U.S. homes.

“Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s head of global energy.

Surging investments in small nuclear reactors comes at a time when large tech companies are facing two major demands: a need to increase their energy supply for AI and data centers, among other needs, while also trying to meet their long-term goals to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart the reactor so tech giant Microsoft could secure power to supply its data centers. Three Mile Island, located on the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the nation’s worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979.

Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google.
Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power.
U.S. states have been positioning themselves to meet the tech industry’s power needs as policymakers consider expanding subsidies and gutting regulatory obstacles.

Last year, 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and lawmakers this year have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to the trade association Nuclear Energy Institute.

Advanced reactor designs from competing firms are filling up the federal government’s regulatory pipeline as the industry touts them as a reliable, climate-friendly way to meet electricity demands from tech giants desperate to power their fast-growing artificial intelligence platforms.

Still, it’s unlikely the U.S. could quadruple its nuclear production within the next 25 years, like the White House wants. The United States lacks any next-generation reactors operating commercially and only two new large reactors have been built from scratch in nearly 50 years. Those two reactors, at a nuclear plant in Georgia, were completed years late and at least $17 billion over budget.

Amazon, Google and Microsoft also have been investing in solar and wind technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.

Shares of Constellation Energy Corp., based in Baltimore, were flat Tuesday.
