Nvidia’s AI empire: A look at its top startup investments
No company has capitalized on the AI revolution more dramatically than Nvidia. Its revenue, profitability, and cash reserves have skyrocketed since the introduction of ChatGPT over two years ago — and the many competitive generative AI services that have launched since. And its stock price soared.
‘It’s terrifying’: WhatsApp AI helper mistakenly shares user’s number
The Meta chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, called it “the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use”. But Barry Smethurst, 41, a record shop worker trying to travel by rail from Saddleworth to Manchester Piccadilly, did not agree.
Applied use cases
Why education needs to embrace AI, soft skills and self-awareness
In a world shaped by rapid technological change and generative AI, we’re preparing students to compete in a system designed for another century – when what they really need is to learn how to adapt, question and create.
Midjourney launches an AI video generator
Midjourney has released the first version of its video generation model to the public. For now, the tool can generate short videos based on images uploaded or created on the platform, but Midjourney plans on rolling out more capabilities in the future.
News Corp bets big on AI tools but journalists voice concerns
Company says in-house NewsGPT tool part of a look into how AI tech will ‘enhance our workplaces rather than replace jobs’. Plus: Seven West’s Origin dummy spit
Ethics
Bar Council is wise to the risk of AI misuse
In your report (High court tells UK lawyers to stop misuse of AI after fake case-law citations, 6 June), you quote Dame Victoria Sharp’s call that we, the Bar Council, and our solicitor colleagues at the Law Society address this matter urgently.
California is trying to regulate its AI giants
Last September, all eyes were on Senate Bill 1047 as it made its way to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk — and died there as he vetoed the buzzy piece of legislation.
UN says use of AI must comply with international human rights
At the 59th session of the Human Rights Council Thursday, the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights stated that the procurement and deployment of AI systems by states and businesses must comply with international human rights standards, warning that failure could lead to serious rights violations.
Robotics
Slovenian startup Sunrise Robotics emerges from stealth with €7.3 million for their simulation-trained robots
Ljubljana-based Sunrise Robotics, a robotics company developing intelligent robotic cells, is emerging from stealth today with €7.3 million in funding to expand its European-wide team and enhance AI capabilities as it scales production of its initial fleet.
Robot eyes are power hungry. What if we gave them tools inspired by the human brain?
Robots are increasingly becoming a part of our lives – from warehouse automation to robotic vacuum cleaners. And just like humans, robots need to know where they are to reliably navigate from A to B.
Inside automatica 2025: What’s driving the next wave of robotics and automation?
As the much-anticipated automatica event prepares to open its doors from June 24 to 27, 2025, in Munich, Germany, it would be interesting to ask what the state of the sector is.
Research
Enhancing Reverse Supply Chain performance via AI predictive solutions
The model aids industries in better planning, cost management, and resource utilisation. Moving beyond traditional models, this predictive framework bridges theory and practice, enhancing digital transformation and sustainability.
Enhancing AI-generated Code via Automated Evaluation and Validation
Automating the process of generating and checking code can enable precious resources of human software professionals to be allocated efficiently, improving effectiveness of the overall software development process.
Misinformation among owners and non-owners
Recent research suggests that misinformation about electric vehicles is widely believed, especially by those with conspiratorial mindsets. Simple interventions that challenge the misinformation as false, like fact sheets or chats with artificial intelligence, can reduce belief in this misinformation, showing a possible pathway toward a better-informed public.
