Artificial intelligence is transforming the world of work at breathtaking speed. Algorithms are screening job applications, optimising production workflows and handling customer queries. But who decides how these systems are used? And what role do employees play in that decision? In Germany, the answer is clear: co-determination.

As artificial intelligence advances at breakneck speed across the globe, the European Union is stepping forward with one of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks to date. Alongside the landmark AI Act—the world’s first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence—Brussels has now introduced a voluntary but potentially influential Code of Conduct aimed specifically at developers and providers of general-purpose AI models (GPAI).

It sounded too good to be true — and it was. Shared millions of times, hotly debated and swiftly taken at face value by many: the claim that every citizen of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was getting free access to ChatGPT Plus turned out to be a complete misunderstanding. But this episode reveals more than just a slip-up — it exposes how fast misinformation travels in the age of AI, and why falsehoods around new technologies spread with such alarming ease.

The rise of artificial intelligence is not just transforming technology—it’s reshaping the global energy landscape. At the heart of this shift are data centres, the silent giants powering everything from AI training models to real-time assistants. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand from data centres is expected to more than double by 2030

A new study by researchers from Harvard, Wharton, and Procter & Gamble reveals: artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool – it’s becoming a true teammate. It boosts performance, bridges expertise gaps, and even motivates. Most impressively, AI-enhanced teams deliver top-tier results more frequently. The researchers' call to action: it’s time for organisations to rethink teamwork.

What began as a sprinkle of digital magic has, in just a few days, become a global debate about art, copyright, and the role of artificial intelligence in creative culture. With the release of its GPT-4o image generation tool, OpenAI introduced a feature that allows users to produce illustrations in the iconic style of the Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli. What started as playful experimentation quickly went viral—unleashing both admiration and outrage, and raising profound legal and artistic questions.

The digital world stands at a pivotal moment. Where once firewalls and manual updates formed the front lines of enterprise defence, today we’re witnessing a high-speed, invisible arms race—machine versus machine. In 2025, artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool in the cybersecurity toolkit; it has become the core force in defending against a new generation of threats—and, increasingly, a target itself.

Artificial intelligence is set to reshape the global job market, with the Future of Jobs Report 2025 from the World Economic Forum (WEF) forecasting a net increase of 78 million jobs by 2030. While 92 million positions are expected to be automated out of existence, the report predicts the creation of 170 million new roles as businesses adopt and integrate AI into their operations.
