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 […]
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 […]
As governments intensify discussions around artificial intelligence, privacy and digital governance, one theme is gaining momentum: data sovereignty. At the World Governments Summit in Dubai, tech entrepreneur Eric Swider positioned Europe as a critical market for a new generation of technologies designed to return data control to individuals and institutions. From Global Debate to Practical […]
Europe’s mobile app market in 2025 tells a nuanced story. The apps people download most are not always the ones generating the highest revenue. Utility, shopping and AI-powered tools dominate installs. Meanwhile, entertainment, streaming and dating platforms quietly capture the bulk of consumer spending. According to estimates from AppFigures, shared with Euronews Next, the EU’s […]
Amazon is deepening its investment in artificial intelligence, this time inside the creative engine of its Amazon MGM Studios division. The objective is clear: reduce rising production costs and accelerate delivery cycles for film and television projects, without removing human creatives from the process. According to reporting from Reuters, Albert Cheng is leading a dedicated […]
Biotech has never had more powerful tools. We can edit genes. We can design molecules in silico. We can simulate protein structures with impressive precision. And yet, thousands of rare diseases still have no approved treatment. According to leaders from Insilico Medicine and GenEditBio, the bottleneck is not ambition or technology. It is talent capacity. […]
The gaming industry had a rough day on the markets after Google revealed Project Genie, a new generative AI tool capable of creating short, interactive game-like worlds from simple text prompts. While the technology is still experimental, investor reaction was anything but cautious, triggering a sharp sell-off across major gaming and game-tech companies. Project Genie […]
Investment in artificial intelligence has become the single most powerful driver of economic growth in the United States, according to executives at Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager. And the reason is not just software. It is infrastructure. Speaking during recent earnings calls, Blackstone leaders emphasized that the global AI race is triggering an […]
Cybersecurity researchers from SentinelOne and Censys are raising concerns about a growing risk in the AI ecosystem: open-source large language models that run without basic safety guardrails. As more models are modified or deployed with protections removed, researchers say they are becoming easier targets for criminal misuse. The core issue is not open source itself, […]
