OPERA

Opera’s New AI Browser Can Code, Develop Games, and Shop Online on Its Own

Opera has introduced Opera Neon, an AI-powered browser designed to automate tasks such as shopping, form-filling, and coding.

Details:

• The browser offers three new buttons: Chat, Do, and Make.

• “Chat”, provides a chatbot interface for web searches and information retrieval.

• “Do” uses Opera's Browser Operator AI agent to perform tasks like form completion and trip bookings locally within the browser.

• Finally, “Make” enables users to create games, websites, code snippets, and reports through text prompts.

• These AI workflows operate via a cloud-based virtual machine, allowing Neon to perform tasks by itself even if you go offline.

The browser is currently available via waitlist, and will require a subscription upon release, though pricing details have not been disclosed.

AI & EDUCATION

Estonia Launches Digital Revolution in Schools

Unlike some countries that are looking to ban phones in schools, Estonia is embracing technology by integrating both smartphones and AI into its curriculum as part of its digital education strategy.

Details:

• Estonia encourages the use of digital devices as learning tools. Students are regularly asked to use their devices in class, and starting in September, they will be given their own AI accounts as part of the AI Leap initiative.

• Through this initiative, the country aims to equip 58,000 students and 5,000 teachers with advanced AI tools by 2027, focusing on digital ethics, self-directed learning, and higher-order cognitive skills.

• Estonia has emerged as a leading education powerhouse in Europe in recent years. In the most recent PISA assessment, published in 2023, Estonia ranked first in Europe for maths, science, and creative thinking, and second only to Ireland in reading.

Estonia is positioning itself to be a global pioneer in AI-enabled education, aiming to become 'one of the smartest AI-using nations' by focusing on developing higher cognitive skills in young people, since AI will soon handle many other tasks more efficiently.
