The new software is dubbed ‘Live AI’ as it has the ability to use AI in real-time as the users ask questions about whatever things they are viewing at that time.

Bitcoin reached an all-time high for a second consecutive day, with traders eyeing the $110,000 price level.

The original cryptocurrency rose as much as 2.1% to $108,315 today before retreating back to its price at the start of the day around $106,000. It has surged more than 150% this year, and traders are increasing bets for further gains in the options market.
