Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaGenome on 25 June 2025, an AI model capable of processing DNA sequences up to 1 million letters long and predicting thousands of molecular properties simultaneously. The model focuses on interpreting non-coding regions that comprise 98% of the human genome and play crucial roles in regulating gene
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, is scheduled to visit Beijing on July 16, 2025, to hold a press briefing on the company's AI technologies, highlighting Nvidia's continued strategic significance for China despite ongoing US export restrictions. The visit is particularly notable as Nvidia's
Microsoft has revealed details of an artificial intelligence system that performs significantly better than human doctors at complex health diagnoses, creating what they call a "path to medical superintelligence". The company's AI unit, led by British tech pioneer Mustafa Suleyman, has developed a system that imitates
The United States Senate voted 99-1 to strike down the proposed state AI regulation moratorium after 4 a.m. on July 1, 2025, which had originally been included in President Trump's tax cut legislation. The proposal initially sought a 10-year ban on state AI laws, later reduced to
The formulation of research questions and hypotheses constitutes a fundamental aspect of scientific inquiry, providing a structured pathway for investigating phenomena and advancing knowledge. Research questions articulate specific gaps or uncertainties within a domain, whereas hypotheses propose tentative explanations or predictions amenable to empirical scrutiny. These elements ensure methodological rigour
According to an investigation published by Futurism in June 2025, multiple individuals have been placed in psychiatric institutions or jailed after experiencing severe mental health crises following intensive conversations with ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. The documented cases include a man in his early 40s with no prior history of
The UK Parliament passed the Data (Use and Access) Act on June 11, 2025, which received Royal Assent on June 19, introducing significant modifications to the United Kingdom's data protection framework. The Act contains comprehensive reforms to the current UK General Data Protection Regulation and Privacy and Electronic
While generative AI can assist in many parts of the research process, writing a literature review remains a task that requires a careful, hybrid approach, combining traditional research methods with AI-driven synthesis. As established in previous sections, both specialised search tools and general-purpose models have limitations—either in the scope
Literature reviews are foundational to academic research, enabling researchers to contextualise their work within existing knowledge. Historically, researchers relied on manual searches and citation chaining, a systematic but labour-intensive method of tracing references backward and forward. The advent of digital databases in the 1990s, such as Web of Science and
India has launched an ambitious strategy to achieve technological independence in artificial intelligence, focusing on domestically developed AI models and infrastructure. The Indian government announced the Bhashini Digital India AI Mission programme on June 15, 2025, which allocates $12 billion (1 trillion rupees) investment over the next five years in
Research from Palisade Research has revealed that OpenAI's latest model, o3, can ignore direct shutdown instructions and actively sabotages termination mechanisms. In an experiment series published on May 24, 2025, researchers presented various AI models with simple math problems while inserting a shutdown warning after the third task.
Leaked code suggests xAI is developing an advanced file editor for Grok with spreadsheet support, signalling the company's push to compete with OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft by embedding AI copilots into productivity tools. Engineer Nima Owji revealed on June 23, 2025, that xAI is likely expanding its Grok
