With Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft has firmly embedded AI into everyday productivity. Yet with Copilot Tasks, the emphasis shifts noticeably: away from assistance and towards execution.

For a long time, what machines could see was largely a matter of recognition. Today, it is becoming a matter of understanding — and increasingly, of creation. Under the umbrella of Visual Intelligence, a new class of AI systems is emerging that not only analyse visual data, but interpret it, connect it with language and generate entirely new visual content. Combined with generative AI, this marks a shift from seeing to thinking in images.

The warning does not come from a start-up or a trade union, but from UNESCO. In its latest report on the future of the creative economy, the organisation outlines a scenario that extends far beyond technological disruption. Generative AI and platform-driven markets, it argues, could lead to significant income declines for creative professionals by 2028 — not as a temporary shock, but as a structural shift.

A new study paints a ruthless picture of global power dynamics: whilst the USA cements its dominance and China arms its industrial base, Europe risks falling into irrelevance – unless the continent learns to convert its values into hard currency.

2025 was the year Generative AI went from hype experiment to strategic infrastructure. New models achieved reasoning capabilities that would have been science fiction a year ago, agentic systems took over entire workflows, and the EU AI Act turned self-regulation into binding law. A look back at twelve months that fundamentally transformed the technology.

Reindeer, sleigh, chimneys – the classic Santa Claus story sounds like a fairy tale. Yet with today's technology, a global delivery system that reaches billions of households in a single night would be surprisingly close to reality. A look at the technologies that could turn magic into feasibility.

In a world where chatbots solve problems, algorithms shape job profiles, and artificial intelligence is far from science fiction, it’s no longer enough for the next generation to simply use AI. They must understand it – and learn what uniquely human skills they’ll need to thrive alongside it. Curiosity, ethics, creativity and critical thinking: today’s children need all of these to grow into confident, capable citizens in an AI‑driven society.

In 2025, the market for humanoid robots is on the verge of a dramatic breakthrough. What once seemed like a science-fiction fantasy is rapidly becoming an industrial reality — backed by billions in investment, accelerated technical development and profound implications for economies and societies alike. Market forecasts and emerging trends suggest this could be the dawn of a new robotic age, one that rivals past industrial revolutions in scale and impact.
