I think AI will probably help creativity, because it will enable the 8 billion people on the planet to get started on some creative area where they might have hesitated to take the first step, he told the PA news agency. AI gets them going and writes the first paragraph, or first chapter, and gets them back in the zone, he said. And it can do similar things with painting and music composition and with almost all of the creative arts.

A chart making the rounds on social media has sparked intense debate about the state of the American economy. Since November 2022, when ChatGPT launched, the S&P 500 has surged more than 70% while job openings have plummeted roughly 30%. The juxtaposition has earned the graphic a foreboding nickname: the " scariest chart in the world."​ At first glance, the divergence appears to tell a simple story: that artificial intelligence has fractured the economy, enriching investors while devastating workers.

Transformify [TFY], the forward-thinking platform that helps businesses hire, manage and pay global teams, contingent workforce and independent contractors, has been recognised by the 2025 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards after scaling profit by an impressive 90%. Established in 2015 by CEO and Angel Investor, Lilia Stoyanov, TFY is underpinned by advanced AI which supports SMEs in scaling global growth by automating workforce onboarding, compliance, billing and payments.

He told attendees of the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Annual Meeting that his administration 'inherited an unexamined patent application backlog that was an absolute dumpster fire.' Squires noted that the backlog was at 837,928 unexamined applications on January 20 and that the number jumped from 576,103 in 2020 to 837,928 in January 2025, adding that this represents a 'total betrayal of American inventors who deserve better.'

Speaking alongside Saudi Arabia's Minister of Investment, Khalid Al-Falih, and Barclays Group CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan, Porat painted a sweeping vision of AI's economic, social, and scientific potential, highlighting how many Nobel prize-winners she is fortunate to work alongside at Alphabet. She framed artificial intelligence not merely as a technological advance, but as a transformative force capable of reshaping entire industries, powering economic growth, and driving human progress at an unprecedented pace.

MIAMI - I am watching a man paralyzed from the neck down lift an artificial arm by merely thinking about do so. I am watching another quadriplegic play drums thanks to similar microchip in his brain. I am listening to doctors talk of hypothermia protocol, brain-computer interface and how artificial intelligence will help change the wheelchair world. "What do you think?" a scientist asks. "This is the greatest sports story of my lifetime," I say.

For decades, telecommunications companies have been the quiet power behind the world's digital transformation. They connect billions, fuel global commerce, and enable nearly every modern convenience. Yet despite that foundational role, telcos have often struggled to capture the consumer imagination or command the kind of loyalty enjoyed by tech and social media brands built on top of their networks. Today, two converging forces can change the equation: the rise of the creator economy and the rapid maturation of artificial intelligence.

"I think this is a secular growth trend for many years," Hotard said. "The reason I say that is if you look at what we are doing in AI today, we are largely using LLMs for language-based applications." "Autonomous vehicles are still in the early days of penetration. Augmented and virtual reality, smart glasses. Very low penetration. Robotics. Very low penetration. There's so many applications to come that I think we are very much in the early days," he continued.

The missives are undersigned by firms like the Babel Street and the ANDECO Institute, which sell risk and threat intelligence services derived from commercially or publicly available information that's not necessarily gathered through more covert means available to spy agencies. Graphika, which performs social media network analysis to identify disinformation campaigns, is also a signatory. The measures, housed in Title 6 of the House Intelligence Committee's version of the fiscal year 2026 Intelligence Authorization Act, are also supported by the OSINT Foundation, a professional association of open-source practitioners in the U.S. intelligence community.

We've been in the acquisition M&A space for a long time. It's been a way for us to continue to grow in the retail channel, as well as organically. But this came up where, as stewards of our companies, we have to really think about what the world is going to look like in five to 10 years. She added that the new ownership provides a lot more value and a lot more horsepower.

Chrome, Google's browser, commands roughly 68% of the global market share. That's a staggering lead, with Apple's Safari trailing far behind at under 14%. No other competitor even registers in the double digits. For years, this synergy between search and browsing has created an unbreakable ecosystem, where users default to Google tools for convenience and familiarity. But the rise of artificial intelligence could upend this empire. AI isn't just a buzzword; it's reshaping how people interact with the internet.

Starbucks Corp. ( NASDAQ: SBUX) recently said that it would launch a secret AI barista. What isn't clear is why that's a secret. Fortune picked up CEO Brian Niccol's comments. He said Starbucks is well underway in launching an artificial intelligence project. The results, Niccol added, will be a system to help store staff predict in "real time" what customers order. This will specifically apply to people who order their items in advance. It won't help.

In the Smarter delivery of public services report, the PAC noted that while the ODP has created a skills framework, which sets out the skills that staff need at different stages of their careers, the capabilities and expertise that its members need are changing and will require skills associated with other professions, particularly digital. " Automating straightforward types of demand means that staff can spend their time dealing with customers with more complex needs, or who cannot access digital services," the report's authors said.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the landscape of modern life, a quiet yet consequential negotiation is unfolding-one that centers not on contracts or boardroom deals but on the essence of what it means to be human. With algorithms now handling everything from data analysis to creative content generation, individuals are increasingly grappling with questions about relevance, identity, and value in an AI-driven world.

The stethoscope is a medical instrument used to listen to and amplify the internal sounds produced by the body. Physicians still use the sounds they hear through stethoscopes as initial indicators of heart or lung diseases. For example, a heart murmur or crackling lungs often signify an issue is present. Although there have been significant advances in imaging and monitoring technologies, the stethoscope remains a quick, accessible, and cost-effective tool for assessing a patient's health.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, automating routine tasks, analyzing vast datasets, and enabling new forms of creativity that were once unimaginable. In workplaces, AI tools like chatbots and predictive analytics are streamlining workflows, allowing employees to focus on higher-value activities. Daily interactions have evolved too, with voice assistants handling everything from navigation to personalized recommendations, making life more efficient.

This time, sporting a bit of a new look in a recent interview, Kojima has said he sees AI as a boon that can help cut out what he describes as "tedious" tasks, helping developers to lower costs and produce games faster. In an interview with Wired Japan ( h/t Dexerto), Kojima described "a future where [he stays] one step ahead; creating together with AI,"
