The ability to generate high-quality images quickly is crucial for producing realistic simulated environments that can be used to train self-driving cars to avoid unpredictable hazards, making them safer on real streets. But the generative artificial intelligence techniques increasingly being used to produce such images have drawbacks. One popular type of model, called a diffusion […]

A Nordic deep-tech startup has announced a breakthrough in artificial intelligence with the creation of the first functional “digital nervous system” capable of autonomous learning. IntuiCell, a spin-out from Lund University, revealed on March 19, 2025, that they have successfully engineered AI that learns and adapts like biological organisms, potentially rendering current AI paradigms obsolete […]

Climate change and “unsustainable human activities” are driving “unprecedented changes” to mountains and glaciers, threatening access to fresh water for more than two billion people, a UN report warns. The 2025 UN world water development report finds that receding snow and ice cover in mountain regions could have “severe” consequences for people and nature. Up […]

China’s central government listed “boosting consumption…and stimulating domestic demand” as its first “major task” for 2025, at the recently closed “two sessions”. As part of this focus – and amid slowing economic growth – the State Council made specific mention of China’s “two new” (两新) policy. The policy was first announced in 2023, but was heavily promoted […]
