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.

With the opening of new offices in Paris and Munich, US-based AI company Anthropic is making a clear statement: it intends to be a key player in the European market. But this expansion is more than just a geographic move – it’s a strategic commitment to helping shape the future of artificial intelligence in Europe.

Apple has made a move that has raised eyebrows across the AI research world – and not without reason. Under the playful title “Pico-Banana-400K”, the company has released a dataset of more than 400,000 images, freely available for anyone to use in research. Its purpose: to train the next generation of image-editing AI systems. The twist? Much of the work behind it was done by a Google AI.

What was once just a search bar is now becoming a digital assistant. In September 2025, Google began rolling out its most significant browser update to date: the deep integration of Gemini into the Chrome browser. While it may seem like a handy new feature on the surface, this development marks a fundamental shift in how we interact with the internet. Chrome is no longer just a window to the web – with Gemini, it becomes a co-pilot for everyday digital life.

This is the stuff the future is made of: the Apple Vision Pro 2 – a device already making headlines despite not yet being officially announced. What once seemed like science fiction is becoming more tangible with every Apple hardware cycle – and with the second generation of its mixed reality headset, the Cupertino tech giant looks set to once again raise the bar.

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.

A quiet revolution is reshaping how artificial intelligence operates across consumer and enterprise technologies: the rapid rise of on-device AI. Instead of relying on distant cloud servers, AI models are increasingly executed directly on end-user devices—from smartphones and laptops to cars and industrial sensors. In 2025, this shift is no longer experimental. It’s central to the strategies of Apple, Google, Microsoft and other major players who view local AI not just as a privacy or performance upgrade, but as a foundation for the next generation of intelligent systems.

Comet isn’t just another web browser – it’s Perplexity’s bold vision of what the internet experience should become: intelligent, proactive, automated. Launched in 2025, Comet is one of the most ambitious AI projects of the year, positioning itself not merely as a browser but as a task-solving companion.
