The Future of AI, Automation & Digital Innovation
Virgin Galactic will launch the first suborbital mission in 2027 dedicated to studying the effects of microgravity on menstruation. Two scientists lead the project to close a knowledge gap affecting half the population.
Following the global chaos caused by a faulty CrowdStrike update in July 2024, Microsoft introduces a recovery tool that acts as an 'undo button' for the system. The feature, part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative, promises to minimize the impact of future critical failures.
AssuranceAmerica confirmed the theft of data from 6.99 million people after an attack that lasted three months. Driver's license numbers, impossible to change, are the most valuable target for identity fraud. This incident sets a record in its category and exposes serious flaws in early notification.
A team of researchers has discovered a new vulnerability in artificial intelligence systems: the HalluSquatting attack, which exploits the tendency of language models to hallucinate code repository names. Attackers can create malicious repositories with those names and trick AI agents into executing dangerous code. The study reveals success rates of up to 85% in individual models and 20-35% in commercial applications like Cursor or Copilot.
Every advanced chip on the planet—from the one in your phone to those training AI models—passes through a single machine made by a single company: ASML. Without it, the semiconductor industry would grind to a halt. We analyze its history, its monopoly, and its implications.
Meta is testing prototypes of smart glasses capable of continuously recording audio and capturing images every few seconds, sending the data to its servers for AI processing. The feature promises seamless interaction with Meta AI but raises serious privacy concerns for those around the user.
Dutch financial regulators have urged European banks to pool their purchasing power to negotiate collectively with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The move aims to counter the growing dependence of the financial sector on the three US cloud giants, which control over 70% of the European market.
SpaceXAI has launched Grok 4.5, an AI model for software development with aggressive pricing: $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. According to Artificial Analysis, it reduces the cost per coding task to $2.49, compared to $5.07 for GPT-5.5 and $11.80 for Fable 5. The model is already available in Cursor, the code editor from Anysphere, which SpaceX agreed to acquire in June.
For the first time, Google's SynthID system has been used to unmask a high-profile deepfake: a fake image of Senator Mitch McConnell that went viral. The case marks a before and after in the fight against AI-generated disinformation.
A study from the University of Auckland shows that the arrival of generative AI has caused a massive exodus of experts from online communities like Stack Overflow, reducing monthly questions by 76%. Researchers warn of a 'knowledge reset' that threatens the quality of information and the training of future AI models.
SpaceXAI has launched Grok 4.5, its first model trained in collaboration with Cursor. Priced at $2/M input tokens and $6/M output tokens, it aims to compete directly with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex in the programming agent market.
Samsung has reported a quarterly operating profit of €51.5 billion, surpassing Nvidia (€46.3 billion) and Apple (€44 billion). The growth is driven by demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI, where Samsung is a key supplier to Nvidia.
