The planned Global Collaboration and Growth meeting in Jeddah had been positioned as a high-stakes convening to address energy markets, trade continuity and global economic friction. Organizers and Riyadh-based hosts framed the sessions around practical measures to stabilise supply chains…
On-device assistants, the local, low-latency AI features now shipping in phones and laptops, are widely pitched as a privacy-preserving alternative to cloud-only models. That promise rests on two assumptions: that sensitive credentials and tokens remain safely stored on the device,…
The European Union recently moved to create a common reporting and rating scheme for data centres while simultaneously allowing important facility-level metrics to be withheld as confidential. That change,embedded in implementing measures for the Energy Efficiency Directive and its delegated…
Global corporates are confronting a compound squeeze in 2026 as an unprecedented oil supply shock collides with a wave of new AI rules and enforcement expectations. The physical disruption to crude and gas flows since early March has pushed prices…
The voluntary carbon market has shifted from debating whether to buy removals to arguing about what counts as a permanent removal. As engineered and nature-based removal suppliers scale offerings,from biochar and enhanced rock weathering to direct air capture and bio-oil…
In the last three years museums have moved from experimenting with novelty AI demos to embedding machine learning in core interpretive practices. Institutions are using generative models, chatbots, image-recognition pipelines and analytics to surface connections, translate contexts for diverse publics,…
Across global cities, tiny balcony gardens have moved from hobbyist curiosities to visible elements of urban life, reshaping how residents use private outdoor space and how planners think about urban resilience. Recent market and policy analyses show rapid growth in…
The rapid integration of generative models into creative tooling has produced a new hybrid: studios that pair human craft with generative agents to accelerate ideation, iteration, and execution. Creative teams now face practical choices about when to let an agent…
The arrival of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS offered an unprecedented chance to sample material formed around another star and preserved for billions of years. High-resolution infrared spectroscopy from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured a molecular inventory in the…
Personal devices,smartphones, laptops, wearable sensors and AR glasses,are quickly acquiring capabilities once limited to server rooms. Advances in neural processing units, model quantization and compact multimodal models mean routine inference and some training can now occur on-device, turning endpoints into…
