GitHub Copilot is adding three tiers to automatic model selection – efficiency, balance and intelligence – for choosing between lower cost/speed and higher quality. They are gradually rolling out to VS Code, Copilot CLI and the Copilot app.
Part of an overview of multiple AI topics; only this event has been covered.
FAA is launching the SMART AI system to forecast and coordinate air traffic, initially at three airports in the Washington DC area from 21 September 2026, with plans to expand across the USA. The budget is 875 million dollars, and the tool serves only as an adviser and does not change controller procedures.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger issued an executive order that prohibits NDAs for data center projects, introduces a review of their approval process, and establishes an AI task force to address risks such as job losses and data protection.
Disney has created the position of CTO for the first time in its history and appointed Karandeep Anand, the former CEO of startup Character.AI – a company that Disney accused in September 2025 of infringing copyright on its characters.
AWS described the migration of a healthcare AI agent orchestrating three models (BioM-ELECTRA, Llama 3.1 70B) from self-managed ECS/Fargate to the managed runtime Amazon Bedrock AgentCore without requiring the agent code to be rewritten.
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 (13–15 October, San Francisco) hosts a panel by Nvidia on choosing between open and proprietary AI models for startups. According to Nvidia, its open Nemotron models were cited by 145 papers at ICML 2026; the open model Nemotron 3 Super has 120 billion parameters.
Super PACs linked to Anthropic, OpenAI and the investment firm Andreessen Horowitz have put approximately 1 million dollars into the Senate race of Republican Senator Mike Rounds in South Dakota ahead of the November elections, according to Wired.
Anthropic says that Claude leads 26 % of the work on developing its own models (level AL4), compared with less than 1 % in February 2026. However, agreement of only 33% between human evaluators and 59% between the model and humans calls the methodology into question.
Google is expanding AI & Economy Research Program with new senior researchers – economist Philippe Aghion (Nobel Prize in economics 2025) as an advisor, Ajay Agrawal as a Visiting Fellow, and Anu Madgavkar together with Daniel Rock as directors of research into the impacts of AI on work and productivity.

Scientists from UCSD, NASA and the US National Weather Service are developing TACLS software, which uses satellite data and machine learning to target earlier detection of flash flood risk. It is being piloted in California, with expansion to all NWS offices planned.
Experts from the US (Melanie Sisson, Brookings) and China (Tianjiao Jiang, Fudan University) proposed rules ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting on 24 September prohibiting AI from autonomously launching nuclear weapons or attacking nuclear command systems. Binding mechanisms are still lacking.

Mustafa Suleyman, head of the artificial intelligence division at Microsoft, warned that without sufficient safety measures, AI could lead to the emergence of a “silicon species” competing with humans. BBC reported the news.
The European Commission has announced Data Union Conference on the future of EU data policy, the availability of high-quality data for AI and the simplification of digital rules. The event will be streamed live, and attendance is subject to approval.
AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
The result is a quick overview of what has actually changed in the AI world, rather than another stream of articles.
Use the CS/EN switch to read the same Radar in Czech or English. English content is published after its translation has been checked, so new and older items may appear later.
Each row represents one event — not one article. At a glance, you can see its significance, credibility and main point.
Illustrative example, not a current news item.
Agent mode is available to all paying users
Until now, the mode was available only on the highest plan; it is now available on all paid tiers without a waitlist.
The detail page contains a fuller summary, its significance and original sources. Practical impact appears in the detail and the For individuals and For businesses views. An AI Flash item reaches the main selection only after it has been expanded and meets the publication rules.
We first summarize each event in the same way for everyone. Based on those same facts, we then explain what the change means for your own use and what it could mean for how a company operates.
Today’s briefing is the same for everyone. Pages For individuals and For businesses can be found in the main navigation — they select only events relevant to the given use case.
