Making its international debut at CES, Bosch Cook AI is an intelligent new solution that combines agentic artificial intelligence, Bosch’s proprietary appliance technologies, sensors and a unique user experience within the Home Connect app.

The technology provides live, precise guidance through the app, helping users more easily create complex meals, such as cooking multiple steaks to different levels of doneness, simultaneously. Unlike static recipe-based tools, the system dynamically adapts to the ingredients users have on hand and can intelligently orchestrate multiple Bosch appliances in tandem to help work toward a desired cooking outcome.

Amazon and Bosch: First Espresso Machine Globally to be Powered by Alexa+ New Natural Language AI Technology

Engineering teams at BSH and Amazon have worked to fully integrate Amazon’s new Alexa+ generative AI technology with the espresso machine – enabling consumers to talk to their Bosch 800 Series fully-automatic espresso machine just as they would with their local barista.

Using natural language, users may now control every aspect of the already-advanced espresso machine to formulate and improve daily coffee routines. The AI assistant leverages its vast knowledge base, along with machine learning, to pass the command to the espresso machine. The result of this collaboration is barista-level drinks, with all the personalization of a neighborhood coffee shop.

“The collaboration between Alexa+ and Bosch on the 800 series espresso machine demonstrates how conversational AI can deliver sophisticated experiences for our shared customers,” said Amazon Vice President for Alexa and Echo, Daniel Rausch. “We are designing new tools to bring Alexa+ intelligence to more smart home devices, and Bosch is one of the first brands building on those experiences.”

GENEVA (AP) — The daughter of a former president of Uzbekistan was facing a trial in absentia starting Monday in Switzerland in connection with alleged bribery and money laundering involving assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of former President Islam Karimov, is behind bars in Uzbekistan as the trial opens in a Swiss federal criminal court in the southern city of Bellinzona. It's set to run through May 22.

Swiss prosecutors say Karimova developed and ran a crime ring known as “The Office” that involved several dozen people and multiple companies. She is accused of depositing hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of funds “of criminal origin” in Switzerland and abroad, and arranging for safe deposit boxes for the deposit of cash, jewelry and other valuables of criminal origin, the prosecutors said.

Grégoire Mangeat, one of her defense lawyers, said in an email that Karimova was being prevented from leaving the “prison colony” where she has been detained in Uzbekistan to attend the trial.

“We will seek the full and complete acquittal of Gulnara Karimova,” he said.

Uzbek news outlet Podrobno described Karimova’s presence in the Swiss courtroom as “virtually impossible” as the 53-year-old was already serving her sentence in Uzbekistan.

It said that Karimova had been moved to a women’s penal colony in Uzbekistan’s Zangiota region, on the outskirts of the capital, Tashkent, in early 2025.

Karimova was indicted three years ago in Switzerland along with a former director-general of the Uzbek subsidiary of a Russian telecommunications company for crimes allegedly committed between 2005 and 2013.

That was during her father's tenure. He led the Central Asian country for over a quarter-century until his death in 2016. Karimova had previously worked in Geneva in connection with the United Nations, and benefited from diplomatic immunity.

Karimova has faced a series of trials after a first conviction in Uzbekistan eight years ago, and is serving a 13-year sentence for organizing a criminal group, extortion and embezzlement.

In November 2024, Swiss prosecutors announced the indictment of Swiss private bank Lombard Odier and a former employee on allegations they had a “decisive role in concealing the proceeds of the criminal activities of ‘The Office.’”

Lombard Odier, in an email, said the prosecutor doesn't allege that the bank knowingly or intentionally engaged in money laundering, “but rather raises claims relating to alleged organizational shortcomings in prevention measures, which the bank firmly contests and will defend in court.”
