Germany’s media landscape is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. More and more broadcasters, streaming platforms and production companies are integrating artificial intelligence into their editorial and creative workflows. While AI is already a staple in areas like content recommendations, transcription and trailer generation, a bolder wave is emerging—one that goes far beyond technical assistance. At the forefront is RTL Deutschland.

In April 2025, Duolingo announced a bold and sweeping shift in strategy: it is now officially an “AI-first” company. This declaration signals far more than a tech upgrade—it represents a complete rethinking of how the language-learning giant operates.

What was once the domain of science fiction is now becoming reality: for the first time, holographic 3D objects can not only be viewed but also physically manipulated by hand. Researchers have unveiled a breakthrough technology that could usher in a new era for mixed reality and how we interact with virtual content.

Mark Zuckerberg recently laid off hundreds of employees who, just a few years ago, were hailed as pioneers of the Metaverse. It’s a stark signal that the grand promises of boundless virtual worlds have given way to a more sober reality. Yet anyone who thinks the Metaverse is dead is mistaken. It’s still very much alive – just not in the way many once imagined.

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

On 10 April 2025, OpenAI unveiled a major update to ChatGPT that effectively gives the AI a memory – and marks the beginning of a new era in human-machine interaction. With the enhanced memory feature, ChatGPT can now recall previous conversations, analyse them, and use this context to deliver significantly more personalised and relevant responses.

The next evolutionary step in AI-generated imagery is on the horizon: Midjourney V7 marks an exciting turning point for one of the most popular platforms in generative art. The new version, initially available only to a select group of users via alpha access, promises not just technical upgrades but a fundamentally new approach to the creative workflow. The platform is set to become faster, more flexible, and more personalised—without losing the artistic integrity it’s known for.

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.
