H-FARM EVENTS ON AI
ClawCamp 2026 — The Personal AI Agents Bootcamp
ClawCamp 2026 is a week-long residential bootcamp where you go from "never touched an AI agent" to running your own Personal AI agent. It's an H-FARM College Summer Camp built with H-FARM AI and the Cisco Networking Academy, hosted on the H-FARM Campus in Roncade (Venice).
Save the date: 5–12 July 2026. Residential, in English, for curious minds 16–25+ — no advanced coding required. Just 15 seats per cohort, selected on a rolling basis.
Five hands-on build days on OpenClaw, the open-source framework for Personal AI Agents, plus a daily ClawTalk, a day in Venice with the cohort, and a final pitch on stage.
Every admitted student leaves with a working agent, a certificate, and a lifetime invite to the global ClawCon community.

MAIN AI UPDATES / 16th June 2026
🚀 Microsoft Copilot Cowork is now generally available 🚀
The fastest-growing Frontier feature reaches GA with usage-based billing and enterprise-grade controls.
Microsoft has announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide, bringing AI-powered automation for complex, long-running enterprise tasks to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. After three months of Frontier preview, Cowork is already used by more than half of the Fortune 500, including Accenture, Capital Group, Zurich Insurance, and Koch. Cowork runs tasks end-to-end — from comparing thousands of files to surfacing at-risk sales opportunities — returning a completed result, not just a draft. The GA release adds nine new partner plugins (Harvey, Miro, monday.com, and others), browser use via Edge, and multi-model choice including Anthropic Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. Billing is usage-based on Copilot Credits at $0.01 per credit, with tenant, group, and user-level spending caps. Organizations that used Cowork during Frontier get a billing grace period until July 1, 2026.
🔍 Meta rolls out AI Mode search across Facebook 🔍
Meta AI now searches public posts, Reels, and Marketplace data inside Facebook.
Meta has introduced AI Mode to Facebook, a new search experience that lets Meta AI answer user questions by pulling from public Group discussions, Reels, and Marketplace listings. Alongside the search feature, the update brings AI-powered photo presets for swapping clothes, hair, and accessories, one-tap team jerseys for profiles, and auto-generated camera-roll collages. Meta is also reportedly preparing two paid AI subscription tiers priced at $7.99 and $19.99 per month — a direct play for search-level engagement inside social media. The rollout is currently limited to US users, and critics have already raised concerns about data privacy and the reliability of crowd-sourced AI summaries.
🛡️ 100+ Security leaders push to lift Fable 5 ban 🛡️
Cybersecurity executives argue the US export ban weakens regulation of defense, not offense.
Over 100 cybersecurity executives and researchers have signed an open letter urging the US government to reverse its export ban on Anthropic's Fable 5 model. The signatories — including security leaders affiliated with Adobe, Zoom, Sophos, Nvidia, and Stanford HAI — argue the ban hampers defensive security teams while doing nothing to slow attackers, who can access equivalent capabilities from models like OpenAI's Daybreak, GPT-5.5, Kimi 2.7, Opus, and Sonnet. Former Facebook security chief Alex Stamos noted the flagged jailbreak only produced a proof-of-concept that defenders routinely use to patch vulnerabilities. The letter signals growing industry pushback against what many consider disproportionate AI regulation.
INTERESTING TO KNOW
📝 Nadella memo frames AI as "token capital" 📝
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published a company-wide memo arguing that real AI advantage comes not from access to the best model, but from a "learning loop" built on proprietary workflows. He introduces a framework splitting company value into "human capital" — expertise supplied by people — and "token capital" — AI capabilities owned rather than rented. The memo warns that an AI economy dominated by a handful of models risks hollowing out entire industries, a clear capability signal for organizations weighing AI dependency.
🏭 Factory 2.0 replaces coding agents with software factories 🏭
Factory has announced the rollout of its 2.0 platform, evolving from coding agents to full autonomous "software factories" — end-to-end systems that build software within enterprise environments. The company says these factories are already in production at some of the world's largest organizations, signaling a broader adoption shift from AI coding assistants to fully autonomous development pipelines. Factory argues that engineers are moving from writing code to designing the systems that produce it.
