What was once just a search bar is now becoming a digital assistant. In September 2025, Google began rolling out its most significant browser update to date: the deep integration of Gemini into the Chrome browser. While it may seem like a handy new feature on the surface, this development marks a fundamental shift in how we interact with the internet. Chrome is no longer just a window to the web – with Gemini, it becomes a co-pilot for everyday digital life.

Stan Lee, the man behind Spider-Man, the Avengers and countless other comic book icons, passed away in 2018. Yet his legacy is about to be revived in a form that is as fascinating as it is controversial: this year’s Los Angeles Comic Con will feature an AI-driven hologram of the legendary Marvel creator. The organisers are calling it the “Stan Lee Experience” – promising something far more immersive than a simple tribute.

It’s one of the most fascinating and controversial ideas of our time – and it goes by a name that sounds more like science fiction than science: AGI, short for Artificial General Intelligence. At its core lies an ambition as bold as it is profound – to create a machine capable of thinking, learning and acting like a human being, only faster, more precisely, and without limits. But what exactly does that mean? Where do we stand today? And how close are we really to this final frontier of artificial intelligence?

US artificial intelligence company Anthropic – creator of the Claude chatbot and founded by former OpenAI employees – has made headlines with a landmark settlement: it plans to pay a staggering $1.5 billion to authors.

It may sound like a joke – Google Nano Banana – but behind this quirky codename lies one of the most powerful visual AI models ever released: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. Since August 2025, this next-generation image model has been turning heads, not just among tech insiders but across the global user base. Whether you're an engineer, a content creator, or simply someone with a wild imagination – Nano Banana is about to change how we think about images.

This is the stuff the future is made of: the Apple Vision Pro 2 – a device already making headlines despite not yet being officially announced. What once seemed like science fiction is becoming more tangible with every Apple hardware cycle – and with the second generation of its mixed reality headset, the Cupertino tech giant looks set to once again raise the bar.

Internet search in Germany is undergoing a historic turning point in 2025. A large-scale study by technology company Yext, published in July under the title “The Rise of the AI Search Archetypes”, documents a profound shift in how people access information.
