OpenAI has announced the release of GPT-5.4, a new foundation model designed to deliver higher performance and greater efficiency for professional use cases. The company describes it as its “most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work,” and is launching it in three variants: the standard GPT-5.4 model, GPT-5.4 Thinking for complex reasoning tasks, […]
Artificial intelligence is beginning to play a more visible role in cybersecurity research. In a recent collaboration between Anthropic and Mozilla, the AI model Claude Opus helped identify 22 separate security vulnerabilities in the Mozilla Firefox codebase during a two-week testing project. Out of the 22 issues discovered, 14 were classified as high-severity vulnerabilities. Most […]
Artificial intelligence is opening new possibilities for businesses and productivity. But it is also creating new risks for privacy. A recent study suggests that large language models, the technology behind tools like ChatGPT, can make it significantly easier for hackers to identify anonymous users on social media. Researchers Simon Lermen and Daniel Paleka tested how […]
As artificial intelligence becomes deeply integrated into business operations, the biggest risk may not be dramatic system crashes or rogue AI behavior. Instead, the real danger is something far more subtle: silent failures at scale. Modern AI systems are becoming so complex that even the people building them cannot fully predict how they will behave […]
Across Europe, ageing populations are putting increasing pressure on healthcare and social care systems. Spain is no exception. With longer life expectancy and declining birth rates, the country is facing a growing challenge: how to support millions of elderly people living alone. Barcelona is testing one possible answer – social robots. In a new pilot […]
Google is preparing to test significant changes to its search results across Europe, as it seeks to avoid potential fines under the EU’s Digital Markets Act. According to a source familiar with the matter, the company aims to give more visibility to rival services in areas such as hotels, flights and restaurants, where regulators allege […]
A new thought experiment imagines a near future where artificial intelligence reshapes the global economy faster than institutions, businesses, and governments can adapt. Framed as a fictional memo written in June 2028, the scenario outlines what its authors call a potential “global intelligence crisis” triggered by large-scale replacement of human labor with AI systems. The […]
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a productivity tool for American teenagers. According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center, AI chatbots are increasingly becoming part of teens’ everyday emotional and social lives. While the most common uses remain practical, 57% of U.S. teens say they use AI to search for information and […]
One of the most persistent challenges in robotics is what engineers call the “kidnapped robot” problem. It happens when an autonomous robot suddenly loses track of its position, for example after being physically moved, powered off, or displaced. In dynamic, real-world environments, this loss of localization can bring operations to a halt. Now, researchers at […]
And What That Means for the Future of Physical AI As robots move from factories into homes, sidewalks, and offices, tech companies are facing a new challenge: it’s not just about performance anymore. It’s about perception. Across major cities, delivery robots now navigate sidewalks with expressive “eyes,” rounded bodies, and even names. When one such […]
The generative AI boom has created a wave of new startups almost overnight. But as the market matures, not every business model built on large language models is proving sustainable. According to Darren Mowry, who leads Google’s global startup organization across Cloud, DeepMind, and Alphabet, two categories of AI startups are flashing early warning signs: […]
Meta is doubling down on its AI strategy through an expanded agreement with Nvidia that will see millions of chips deployed across its artificial intelligence data centers. The deal includes Nvidia’s new standalone Grace CPUs and next-generation Vera Rubin systems. Financial terms were not disclosed, but analysts estimate the agreement is worth tens of billions […]
