Building the Future: 3D-Printed Housing

Observador14 September 2026 at 15:39

3D printing is being explored as a solution to make construction faster, more efficient, and more sustainable. This technology allows for the creation of housing structures with less material waste and lower energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

The featured project is called Mariadeira and is being developed in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. This initiative serves as a practical case study to demonstrate the potential of the technology in housing construction.

The approach follows principles of the circular economy, seeking to maximize material reuse and reduce the environmental impact of the entire construction process. The episode also explores how this methodology can significantly accelerate construction timelines.

Technology and digital inclusion: bringing together or isolating the elderly?

We live in an increasingly technological society, where essential tasks such as scheduling medical appointments, carrying out banking operations or accessing public services depend on the Internet. However, many elderly people do not keep pace with this evolution, facing a new form of exclusion and social isolation. Although technology can be a tool for bringing people together — enabling video calls with family members and new learning opportunities — its adoption must be accompanied by adapted training and respect for each person's choices. The article argues that digital literacy in the elderly is a responsibility of society as a whole, ensuring that no one is left behind in an increasingly connected world.

Microsoft launches code of conduct with limits on the development of cutting-edge AI models

Microsoft published a new 15,000-word code of conduct that imposes limits on the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, coinciding with commitments from major AI laboratories to slow down the advancement of the most powerful models following security incidents that raised concerns about existential risks. The document establishes that AI should not have rights, legal personality, nor be designed to escape human control or deceive users, reaffirming that people matter more than technology.

WhatsApp on iPhone can be attacked without clicking links and send money requests on your behalf: learn how to protect yourself

INCIBE-CERT investigators identified a series of sophisticated attacks against WhatsApp accounts on iPhones running iOS 16, in Italy, during May 2026, which allowed attackers to send messages requesting money from victims' contacts without any interaction from them. The exploitation combined two vulnerabilities: one in Apple's ImageIO component (CVE-2025-43300) and another in WhatsApp for iOS (CVE-2025-55177), both already patched in available updates. Victims discovered transfer requests sent from their own account to recent contacts, making the attack particularly convincing. The main security recommendation is to always keep both the operating system and the WhatsApp application updated.

Trump attacks Anthropic CEO for defending brake on AI development

Donald Trump attacked Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, after the executive defended a slowdown in the development of the most advanced artificial intelligence models. In a post on social media Truth Social, Trump classified the growing concern over so-called frontier models and the negative reaction from voters to AI data centers as a "sick conspiracy," stating that "the only one happy about this is China." The comments intensify Trump's opposition to creating new safeguards for the technology, although he acknowledged over the weekend the need for some kind of regulation.
