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.

Amazon has taken a significant step towards agentic AI with the introduction of Nova Act – an intelligent software agent capable of navigating websites, filling out forms, and completing simple online tasks autonomously.

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.
