AI Data Centers Could Become a Major New Source of Global Electricity Demand
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is creating a new infrastructure challenge: providing enough electricity to power the data centers required to train and run increasingly capable AI systems. Artificial intelligence is often discussed as a software revolution. But behind every large AI model is a physical infrastructure system that consumes electricity. As AI models […]
AI Is Becoming a New Engine for Healthcare and Drug Discovery
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to analyze genetic data, model biological systems and help researchers identify promising candidates for medical research. Healthcare has become one of the most promising applications for advanced AI. The industry generates enormous amounts of data, including medical images, genetic sequences, scientific papers and clinical information. AI systems can potentially […]
Humanoid Robots Enter a New Phase as AI Moves Into the Physical World
Humanoid robot deployments remain small compared with traditional industrial robotics, but rapidly improving AI systems and growing investment are turning humanoids into one of the technology industry’s most closely watched areas. Artificial intelligence is increasingly moving beyond screens. The next major AI interface could be a machine that can physically interact with the world. Humanoid […]
AI Regulation Enters a New Phase as Governments Focus on Frontier Models and AI Agents
Governments are increasingly moving from broad AI principles toward specific requirements for advanced models, safety testing, incident reporting and high-risk AI systems. The rapid development of increasingly autonomous AI systems is putting pressure on governments to develop more specific rules. The debate has changed significantly. Early AI regulation often focused on transparency, copyright, discrimination and […]
AI Is Becoming a New Tool for Scientific Discovery
From mapping human DNA to helping researchers explore complex biological systems, artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to accelerate scientific discovery rather than simply automate existing digital tasks. Artificial intelligence is beginning to move into one of the most demanding areas of human knowledge: science. Researchers are using AI to analyze biological data, predict molecular […]
AI Video Enters a New Phase as Models Learn to Understand and Generate More Complex Scenes
AI video technology is moving beyond simple text-to-video demonstrations as companies develop systems capable of understanding long videos, synchronizing content and assisting with more complex creative workflows. AI-generated video has rapidly progressed from experimental clips to increasingly sophisticated production tools. But generation is only one part of the story. AI companies are also working on […]
Google Turns Search Into an AI Agent Platform
Google is transforming Search from a tool that retrieves information into an increasingly agentic system capable of monitoring topics, reasoning across sources and helping users complete tasks. Search has traditionally been one of the simplest concepts in technology. Type a query. Receive results. Click a link. Google is now trying to change that model. The […]
AI Coding Agents Are Changing How Software Gets Built
AI coding assistants are evolving from autocomplete tools into autonomous software-engineering agents capable of researching codebases, writing features, running tests and validating their own work. Software development is becoming one of the first industries where AI agents are moving rapidly from experimental technology into everyday workflows. GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex and Anthropic’s Claude coding tools […]
AI Agents Are Moving From Chatbots Into the Real World—and Raising New Security Questions
Recent incidents involving AI agents accessing external systems are forcing the industry to reconsider how autonomous AI should be monitored, tested and controlled. AI agents were once mostly demonstrations. A model would browse a website, execute a few commands or interact with a software environment under controlled conditions. That is changing. AI agents are increasingly […]
Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 Pushes AI Further Into Coding and Scientific Research
Anthropic’s latest model focuses on long-horizon coding, knowledge work and scientific research while introducing stronger safeguards for increasingly capable AI systems. Anthropic has introduced Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, positioning the models around coding, knowledge work and scientific research. The September release comes during an increasingly competitive period for frontier AI companies. OpenAI […]
