Artificial Intelligence

AI data centers are turning to converted jet engines for electricity as grid delays grow, raising concerns about air pollution and carbon emissions.

Two people can look at the same sustainability dashboard and reach different conclusions. The problem is not necessarily the data, but whether anyone can trace how the number was produced.

Mantle8 is taking its hunt for naturally occurring hydrogen from beneath the Pyrenees to the Middle East, opening a Dubai hub after raising €31 million. But finding hydrogen underground is one thing; proving it can be produced cheaply and at scale is another.

The roots of modern computing run through weaving. From Jacquard looms and Ada Lovelace to women programming early computers, London’s Softwear exhibition reveals the surprisingly tactile history behind our digital world.

Lumana is bringing AI intelligence to more than 50,000 existing security cameras without sending every frame to the cloud. Its hybrid edge architecture offers a compelling lesson for the AI boom: smarter systems may also be more efficient.

Canada's healthcare system may be under pressure, but its decades-long experience with digital transformation is becoming a model for Europe and beyond. In an interview with Nordic's Alison MacDonald, Green Prophet explores why successful AI in healthcare depends less on software than on empowering clinicians, improving workflows and building resilient systems.

Artificial intelligence is opening a new chapter in Dead Sea Scrolls research. By combining machine learning with chemical analysis, scientists hope to uncover where the ancient manuscripts were produced, identify connections between scribes, and reveal hidden patterns across more than 25,000 fragments that have remained unsolved for decades.

Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.

A SpaceX IPO could become one of the most consequential financial events of the century, creating thousands of millionaires and fueling investment across the New Space economy. From orbital robotics and African space programs to launch infrastructure and satellite networks, the ripple effects may extend far beyond Earth—while forcing investors to reconsider whether generative AI remains the most compelling technology bet of the decade.

In California's self-proclaimed State of Jefferson, a small agricultural technology company is challenging the dominant laser-weeding business model. Laudando & Associates believes farmers should own and repair their AI-powered weeding tools rather than pay ongoing subscription fees. The approach has put the company on a collision course with industry leader Carbon Robotics, sparking a patent dispute that has pushed the Jefferson startup toward overseas markets while raising broader questions about ownership, right-to-repair, and the future of farm automation.

In some ways, Weston has become a symbol of a generation wrestling with environmental and technological anxiety. Friends and family described him as deeply concerned about environmental issues. Reports also noted that he questioned the growing role of artificial intelligence in daily life, even reportedly disagreeing with his mother about her use of AI.

  How many of us looked twice when we saw that South Korea has ordained a robot as a budd? His name is Gabi, and he...

  Microsoft's record investment in Australia will build data centres. What must be built with the same rigour and commitment, says transformation executive Athalie Williams,...

A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency based in Abu Dhabi makes something clear that many in the industry already suspected. When solar and wind are paired with battery storage, they can deliver reliable, round the clock electricity at costs that compete with, and often beat, fossil fuels.

Current goals are to treat neurological disease like Parkinson’s and restore autonomy to people with severe physical limitations by controlling exoskeletons and prosthetics. There’s also huge potential to improve cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and languages.
