Artificial intelligence is reshaping the job market – not in some distant future, but right now. Current research shows that this technological shift is affecting not just individual tasks, but entire job profiles. Occupations that rely heavily on information processing, analysis and communication are at the heart of this transformation. These are exactly the areas where AI systems already deliver a level of efficiency and precision that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

Through my training and consultancy work, I’m in daily contact with ChatGPT – it’s long since become something like a reliable sparring partner for me. When GPT-5 was released in Germany last Thursday night, I wasted no time and integrated the new model straight into my workflow. My first hours with it were a mix of anticipation and scepticism: could an already strong version like GPT-4o really make a noticeable leap forward? After several intense days of use, my answer is yes – and in such a way that I already wouldn’t want to be without it.

With key provisions of the EU AI Act coming into force on 2 August 2025, a new era of artificial intelligence regulation begins across the European Union. This legislation marks the world’s first comprehensive, binding legal framework for the use of AI, particularly affecting general-purpose AI models (GPAI) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s LLaMA. These versatile models are increasingly embedded in products, services and internal processes across industries.

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).

A startling new development at the intersection of artificial intelligence and academia is sending shockwaves through the scientific community. In a growing number of research papers, investigators have uncovered deliberately hidden prompts—commands designed to influence AI-powered review tools.

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.

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.
