The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating Business Innovation in 2025 The artificial intelligence technology landscape transformed in late 2022 with ChatGPT’s launch – the first AI application that truly democratized the technology for everyone. I like to say it passed the “mom test” – meaning my mother could use AI without needing a PhD. Shanghai,China-May 19th 2023: close up ChatGPT official app icon on screen.getty The Evolution of Intelligent Technology The AI landscape has evolved through distinct phases since ChatGPT’s debut: 1. Mainstream Adoption Generative AI rapidly permeated industries, becoming an integral tool for content creation, customer support, and productivity…

People often use multiple apps for notes, schedule management, and to-dos. But why not combine them all in one app? That’s the ethos behind Hero, an all-in-one productivity app with an AI assistant (of course!). The iOS app was developed by former Meta employees Brad Kowalk and Seung W. Lee. Both met while working on Facebook stories where Kowalk was the product manager and Lee was an engineer. Kowalk also worked on new AI experiences at the company until 2022. “When we started working on a new project after working at Meta, we didn’t want to work on something that…

Artificial intelligence has gone from quietly shaping what we see online to landing squarely in our laps. What began as algorithms recommending our next TikTok or Netflix binge has evolved into generative AI — allowing us to create everything from poetry to images, and even hyper-realistic videos. The financial implication of this new technology could spiral into the trillions, based on the recent eye-watering investment projects we’ve seen under the Trump regime. But, there’s also a hidden cost to AI – one measured in electricity, water, and raw materials.Every AI-powered query, slimy deepfake, and prosaic Google search consumes massive amounts…

Education Minister Yoav Kisch, flanked by senior ministry officials and representatives from leading high-tech companies and venture capital funds, announced the launch of the “Year of Artificial Intelligence (AI)” in the education system, along with a plan to introduce AI tools into Israeli schools. The announcement, befitting the launch of a strategic initiative, was celebratory. Speakers offered flowery praise for the groundbreaking program—described as the first of its kind in the world—aimed at making the wonders of artificial intelligence accessible to teachers and students. Yet, by the end of the event, the big question remained: Will the promises of a…

On January 30, 2025, Microsoft unveiled significant advancements to its Copilot platform, with the introduction of the “Think Deeper” feature aimed at enhancing user productivity through advanced reasoning capabilities. Originally launched for Pro users as part of Copilot Labs back in October 2024, this feature is now available to free-tier users across Android, iOS, and web platforms. Its rollout, though received with excitement, has come with usage limitations, causing mixed reactions among users.The “Think Deeper” feature employs OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model to address complex queries requiring detailed analysis—think solving difficult math problems, creating comprehensive personal plans, or assessing various scenarios.…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for enabling deeper insights into drug development, identifying patterns and molecules that may otherwise go unnoticed. Now it is poised to make similar contributions to gene editing. A few companies are using AI to develop gene editing tools that are more specific and more efficacious. CRISPR systems such as CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized gene editing, but genomic rearrangements are becoming a real concern for in vivo therapies, and nonspecific editing has been a longstanding issue that affects subsequent generations of cells. Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) also have challenges, thus underscoring the…

Generative artificial intelligence can help improve learner engagement, automate content creation and measure training impact – Ravinder Tulsiani has the practical steps you need  Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we approach workplace learning, and one of the most significant advancements is the rise of generative AI. By automating content creation, personalising learning experiences and offering real-time feedback, generative AI is providing L&D professionals with powerful tools to enhance training programmes.   L&D professionals who embrace AI early will be well-positioned to deliver innovative, high-impact training programmes that keep their workforce engaged and prepared for the challenges ahead…

The Vice-Chancellor of the African School of Economics (ASE), Mahfouz Adedimeji, and the Managing Director of Galaxy Backbone Limited, Ibrahim Adeyanju, have called for the ethical adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance education in Africa. Speaking at the maiden public lecture of the African School of Economics, the scholars emphasised the transformative potential of AI in education while highlighting the need for responsible use. In his address, Mr Adedimeji, a professor, cautioned that while AI has the potential to revolutionise education, it must be used ethically to avoid its misuse. He noted that AI can facilitate personalised instruction, analyse…
