Artificial intelligence as the new user interface, advanced defenses against disinformation, and space-based Earth intelligence are among the 12 breakthrough technologies Gartner says will transform business systems in the coming years. In a report released Monday, the global research firm emphasized that these innovations will offer companies a competitive edge in the near term—and likely […]
Netflix has begun testing a new search feature powered by OpenAI, according to a report from Bloomberg. This enhanced search tool is designed to offer a more intuitive and detailed way for users to find content. Rather than just searching by genre or actor, users can now input more nuanced queries—such as how they’re feeling […]
Artificial intelligence is powerful—but energy-hungry. Modern AI systems, from recommendation engines to chatbots like ChatGPT, require massive computing resources, relying on sprawling data centers that consume gigawatts of electricity. Compare that to the human brain, which operates on just 20 watts—less than a standard lightbulb. So, what if AI could be as energy-efficient as the […]
Artificial intelligence is on track to become a $4.8 trillion industry by 2033 — roughly the size of Germany’s economy — but its benefits are far from evenly distributed, according to a new report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). While AI promises major productivity boosts and is driving digital innovation […]
A recent study is fueling concerns that OpenAI may have trained its AI models using copyrighted content without permission. OpenAI is currently facing multiple lawsuits from authors, developers, and other rights holders who claim the company used their copyrighted work — including books and code — to build its models. OpenAI has argued its actions […]
A serious data leak has revealed the dark side of generative AI technology, exposing how some users are exploiting it to create disturbing and potentially illegal content.

Gurman previously hinted at this development in 2023, but now reports that progress is accelerating. The new features could debut as early as spring or summer 2026, coinciding […]
AI red teaming—the process of simulating attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in AI systems—is rapidly becoming a crucial cybersecurity strategy. The Unique Challenges of AI Security Traditional red teaming focuses on testing static systems with predictable coding frameworks, leveraging decades of cybersecurity expertise. However, AI systems present a fundamentally different challenge. They are dynamic, adaptive, and […]
