As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in everyday workflows, a new challenge is emerging inside modern organizations: cognitive overload. A recent study from Harvard University introduces a new term for it, “AI brain fry”, describing the mental fatigue employees experience after prolonged interaction with AI tools. The research, based on a survey of over 1,400 full-time […]
Artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding its role in healthcare, but one of its most promising applications is emerging in a deeply sensitive area: the early detection of intimate partner violence (IPV). A new study published in Nature introduces an AI-driven system capable of identifying patients at risk of domestic abuse years before they seek help, […]
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.

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.
