In a move that may ultimately redefine how AI evolves, Jared Kaplan—co-architect of some of the most influential large language models—has chosen to decouple the training process from human-designed datasets. In a November 2025 interview with The Guardian, Kaplan laid out his rationale: the next frontier in AI development rests not in bigger models or…

In a move signaling heightened momentum in European artificial intelligence innovation, Germany-based Black Forest Labs has raised an impressive $300 million in fresh funding. The image-generation startup, largely under the radar until now, is joining the ranks of AI unicorns with its rapid ascent fueled by investor appetite and a refined focus on customized enterprise…

In 1999, investors poured billions into tech stocks with scant earnings and untested business models. A few years later, most dotcoms vanished, and trillions in market cap evaporated. Fast forward to 2025, and the AI sector appears to be replaying a familiar script—rapid valuation growth, vast capital influx, and narratives outrunning products. However, unlike the…

In late November 2025, concerns over AI’s suitability in mental health contexts reached a new peak following revelations from a Guardian investigation that tested OpenAI’s latest flagship model, ChatGPT-5.

Google’s unveiling of Gemini 3 in November 2025 marks a pivotal moment in the AI arms race—one not just of software supremacy but also of silicon innovation. With the conversation around large multimodal models (LMMs) increasingly shaped by hardware constraints, Gemini 3’s performance is no longer solely defined by its algorithmic sophistication but also by…

As artificial intelligence increasingly infiltrates consumer products, smart toys—those that respond to children using machine learning, voice recognition, and cloud-connected databases—are rapidly growing in popularity. But alongside innovation and play come mounting ethical concerns. In late November 2025, The Guardian published a report highlighting the data privacy and developmental risks posed by AI-powered toys, prompting…
