Artificial intelligence is changing the rules for people entering the workforce. Many tasks that were once considered classic entry-level work can now be automated or at least significantly accelerated: research, initial analysis, drafting presentations, writing first versions of documents, generating code snippets, preparing data and responding to customer enquiries. Precisely because of this, it is no longer enough for graduates and junior employees to be hardworking, reliable and technically competent.

While many AI companies mainly talk about benchmarks, model sizes and chatbots, is pursuing a far more radical approach: the startup Andon Labs is deploying AI agents into real economic environments with real budgets, real people, real contracts and real consequences.

As agentic AI systems become more capable, a subtle but important shift is taking place. The focus is moving away from the model itself and towards the environment in which it operates....

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.
