Microsoft is reportedly evaluating whether DeepSeek could become part of Copilot Cowork. At first glance, this may look like a technical model-selection decision. In reality, it reflects something much bigger: the economics of AI agents, Microsoft's dependence on OpenAI and Anthropic, growing pressure from lower-cost Chinese models, and the question of how much geopolitical risk businesses are willing to accept in exchange for cheaper AI.

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.

With Scout, Microsoft is taking its AI strategy a significant step further. Until now, Copilot has largely functioned as an assistant: answering questions, summarising documents, drafting content and helping users complete tasks. Scout, by contrast, is designed not merely to respond but to work in the background. Microsoft describes this new category of systems as “Autopilots” – always-on agents capable of identifying, prioritising and carrying out tasks without requiring constant instructions.

For years, virtual influencers were seen as little more than a futuristic marketing gimmick. Today, they are appearing more frequently across social media platforms, advertising campaigns and digital brand experiences. However, a new study by German agency group pilot suggests that the real shift is not a sudden surge in enthusiasm for AI influencers, but a growing public awareness of AI-generated content.

While many countries are still debating whether students should be allowed to use ChatGPT in the classroom, Estonia has chosen a far more ambitious path. Through AI Leap, the Baltic nation is...

Malta is taking a step that no other country has attempted on this scale so far: the government plans to offer citizens and registered residents a free one-year subscription to ChatGPT Plus. The only requirement is the completion of a short online course in AI literacy. Once completed, participants receive access to a premium AI service that would normally require a monthly subscription.

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.

With Claude Design, Anthropic is trying to solve a problem that many AI tools have so far struggled with: moving beyond generating visually appealing one-off outputs towards something that actually supports a real design workflow. The new product from Anthropic Labs is neither a classic image generator nor a simple prompt-driven toy. Instead, it is a browser-based environment that combines chat, a visual workspace and a pathway into production-ready development. Anthropic positions it as a research preview for Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise users

When Moltbook went live, it briefly felt like a glimpse behind the curtain of the future. A social network populated not by people but by AI agents: millions of profiles, endless debates,...
