AI Is Entering Parliamentary Work, but Voters Are Rarely Told

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the political writing process. According to a recent study, politicians in the United Kingdom and Sweden may be using AI to draft parliamentary speeches, statements and motions without disclosing that assistance to the public. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Edinburgh Napier University in the UK […]

AI Model Fatigue Is Growing as Release Cycles Accelerate

The artificial intelligence market is moving at a pace that is becoming difficult even for experienced technology leaders to follow. In the space of one week, Anthropic introduced updates to Claude Fable and Claude Mythos, Meta and Google announced improvements to their own models, and OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. New open-source models and major industry […]

AI Is Designing Physics Experiments That Could Outperform Human Ideas

Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence a part of scientific research long considered dependent on human intuition: designing the experiments themselves. For centuries, progress in physics has relied on researchers asking the right questions and building experimental setups capable of producing clear answers. An international research team now suggests that part of this creative process […]

Could AI Help Humans Communicate with Animals? The Ethical Risks Behind the Breakthrough

Artificial intelligence is bringing researchers closer to decoding how animals communicate. Machine learning models can process vast collections of sounds and movements, identify recurring patterns and even reproduce specific calls. These capabilities could offer valuable insights into animal behaviour, social structures and responses to environmental change. However, the technology is also raising an unfamiliar ethical […]

OpenAI’s “Recurrent Depth” Technique Rekindles the AI Transparency Debate

OpenAI is reportedly experimenting with a reasoning technique known as “recurrent depth” in its new Astra model. The approach could improve how efficiently advanced AI systems solve complex problems, but it is also raising questions about whether their internal reasoning will remain sufficiently transparent for safety monitoring. According to reporting by The Information, recurrent depth […]

Could AI Become Conscious? The More Urgent Risk Does Not Depend on It

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a source of public concern, although not always for the same reasons. Communities located near large data centres are questioning their impact on local electricity and water supplies. Employees are worried about automation changing or eliminating established roles. Governments are attempting to balance economic competitiveness with security, transparency and public […]

Ox Alpha Revealed: What Z.ai’s New Model Says About China’s AI Progress

For several days, a powerful artificial intelligence model called Ox Alpha generated intense speculation across the global developer community. The model appeared anonymously on OpenRouter on 20 August 2026, offering advanced coding, reasoning and multimodal capabilities without disclosing the company behind it. Its strong early performance prompted analysts to investigate whether it came from OpenAI, […]

Anthropic’s Automated AI Researchers Improve Model Safety

Anthropic has published new research showing how AI agents can autonomously develop and test methods for improving the safety of other AI models. The results offer an early look at how parts of AI research could become automated, particularly when the problems and success criteria can be clearly measured. The study, titled Automated Researchers Can […]

Tech Leaders Call for Coordinated Action Against AI-Driven Cyber Threats

More than 100 technology, cybersecurity, financial services and infrastructure companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft, have signed an open letter calling for a coordinated response to the growing cyber risks associated with artificial intelligence. The signatories warn that AI-enabled attacks are likely to become more frequent and sophisticated as advanced models gain the ability […]

Can AI Drive Inflation Higher Before It Delivers Productivity Gains?

Artificial intelligence is often presented as a powerful deflationary force. By automating tasks, accelerating production and helping companies operate more efficiently, AI could eventually reduce costs across many industries. The economic transition, however, may be far less straightforward. In the short and medium term, the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure could increase demand for scarce […]
