It’s no secret that software is a part of our daily lives. We use it to keep our schedules, connect with friends and family, manage our finances, and execute everyday tasks for work. The convenience and speed it offers us, it also offers to cybercriminals. Especially in the last several years, it’s been impossible to…
Cloud computing has come a long way, and it’s going to be used very differently for the next generation than it was when it first took root 20 years ago. As the race to automate software development heats up between OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI frontrunners, a quieter pressure point is brewing: cloud infrastructure. Recently…
As companies grapple with moving Generative AI projects from experimentation to productionising – many businesses remain stuck in pilot mode. As our recent research highlights, 92% of organisations are concerned that GenAI pilots are accelerating without first tackling fundamental data issues. Even more telling: 67% have been unable to scale even half of their pilots…

About a decade ago, artificial intelligence was split between image recognition and language understanding. Vision models could spot objects but couldn’t describe them, and language models generate text but couldn’t “see.” Today, that divide is rapidly disappearing. Vision Language Models (VLMs) now combine visual and language skills, allowing them to interpret images and explaining them…
Behavioral economist Sendhil Mullainathan has never forgotten the pleasure he felt the first time he tasted a delicious crisp, yet gooey Levain cookie. He compares the experience to when he encounters new ideas. “That hedonic pleasure is pretty much the same pleasure I get hearing a new idea, discovering a new way of looking at…
Why it matters: Walmart Unveils AI Shopping Assistants to transform online shopping with smart, personalized experiences.
Artificial intelligence is transforming everything: how we shop, how we work, and now, it’s revolutionising what we eat. AI has already helped farmers increase yields by 20-30% and optimised global supply chains, yet, its most profound impact may be on public health. Across the food value chain, from farm to fork, AI is quietly addressing…
Across industries, tariffs and trade shifts have transcended the realm of abstract policy debates to become existential challenges for businesses of all sizes. The 2025 economic landscape presents unprecedented complexities: a universal 10% import duty blankets all incoming goods with punitive rates of up to 54% targeting China, Mexico, and European Union members and creating…
A new paper from researchers in China and Spain finds that even advanced multimodal AI models such as GPT-4.1 struggle to tell the time from images of analog clocks. Small visual changes in the clocks can cause major interpretation errors, and fine-tuning only helps with familiar examples. The results raise concerns about the reliability of…
