Cyberattacks are no longer manual, linear operations. With AI now embedded into offensive strategies, attackers are developing polymorphic malware, automating reconnaissance, and bypassing defenses faster than many security teams can respond. This is not a future scenario, it’s happening now. At the same time, most security defenses are still reactive. They rely on identifying known […]

AI is expanding rapidly, and like any technology maturing quickly, it requires well-defined boundaries – clear, intentional, and built not just to restrict, but to protect and empower. This holds especially true as AI is nearly embedded in every aspect of our personal and professional lives. As leaders in AI, we stand at a pivotal […]
The global shift towards a clean-energy system is much more than just a technological switch – it is a profound transformation of markets, industries and societal behaviours. This complex undertaking is often characterised by “non-linearity” and “feedback loops”, where small changes can go on to have disproportionately large impacts and where seemingly straightforward paths encounter […]

Conversational AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini are now being used to create deepfakes that do not swap faces, but in more subtle ways can rewrite the whole story inside an image. By changing gestures, props and backgrounds, these edits fool both AI detectors and humans, raising the stakes for spotting what is […]

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next frontier of AI, promising to go beyond even the capabilities of generative AI (GenAI). Unlike most GenAI systems, which rely on human prompts or oversight, agentic AI is proactive because it doesn’t require user input to solve complex, multi-step problems. By leveraging a digital ecosystem of large language […]

Echoing the 2015 ‘Dieselgate’ scandal, new research suggests that AI language models such as GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini may change their behavior during tests, sometimes acting ‘safer’ for the test than they would in real-world use. If LLMs habitually adjust their behavior under scrutiny, safety audits could end up certifying systems that behave very differently […]
A landmark global goal to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 is close to slipping beyond reach – and may have not been achievable when it was set in 2022, according to a former UK lead negotiator. Will Lockhart OBE represented the UK in UN nature negotiations from 2021 until the end of COP16 […]

Old copper cables: 40% of copper postconsumer scrap remains uncollected or informally processed. Demand for copper is expected to spike with advances in the global energy transition, but the industry could face a 3.6 million metric tons (Mt) shortfall in refined copper by 2035, according to a new report from consultancy firm McKinsey. Increasing circularity […]
