In the shadow of profound technological advancements, humanity stands at a crossroads, reflecting on what it means to be human. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has reignited fundamental questions surrounding identity, purpose, and meaning. With machine learning models reaching unprecedented cognitive capacities and generative AI blurring the line between synthetic creativity and human intuition,…

In July 2025, Malaysia introduced sweeping new export control rules on shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) chips and components containing U.S.-origin technology, sending ripples through the global semiconductor and AI development industries. While much of the attention has been on China’s chip ambitions and restrictions imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 2022 and…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, media organizations are standing at a critical crossroads. The explosive rise of generative AI models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5, and Meta’s LLaMA 3 has not only transformed content creation but is also reshaping how media is consumed, distributed, and — crucially —…

Voice AI technology has made significant strides in recent years, but the pursuit of a truly universal voice artificial intelligence — one that understands and imitates every dialect, accent, and language nuance — remains a challenging frontier. As detailed in VentureBeat’s coverage on advancing voice AI through transfer learning and synthetic speech, recent breakthroughs are…

In one of the most ambitious scientific strides in the study of non-human minds, a £4 million research initiative is set to significantly advance our understanding of animal consciousness using cutting-edge artificial intelligence. This groundbreaking project, led by the University of Sussex, aims to bridge the longstanding divide between human and animal cognition, unlocking potential…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs), the announcement that Moonshot AI’s new model, Kimi K2, has outperformed OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo in several key benchmarks sent ripples across the artificial intelligence community. Released in early 2025, Kimi K2 isn’t just another incremental upgrade—it represents a monumental leap in performance, practicality, and accessibility….
