Recent advancements in the mathematical capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have sparked interest, yet detailed human evaluations from the 2025 USAMO (USA Mathematical Olympiad) reveal that current models fall significantly short in generating rigorous mathematical proofs. While benchmarks like MathArena paint a positive picture of LLM performance on the
On 9 April 2025, the European Commission unveiled the AI Continent Action Plan, aimed at revitalising Europe’s artificial intelligence industry and enhancing its competitiveness against the United States and China. The plan focuses on five key areas, including developing a large-scale AI computing infrastructure, increasing access to high-quality data,
In 2025, AI agents built on foundation models are revolutionising enterprise environments, surpassing traditional generative AI solutions. While most organisations still deploy ChatGPT-like applications, leading companies are adopting autonomous AI agents that respond to commands and execute complex business processes with minimal human intervention. Data-driven results from enterprise implementations demonstrate
Bias in artificial intelligence systems has become a critical concern as these technologies increasingly influence decision-making across domains such as healthcare, criminal justice, and employment. Bias manifests as systematic errors that lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes, often disproportionately affecting marginalised groups. Understanding the origins of bias is essential for
On 4 April 2025, GitHub released a public preview of its official, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, enabling developers to facilitate seamless communication between artificial intelligence models and the GitHub API. This development is significant as it provides a unified approach for AI models to access GitHub functionalities, such
On 8 April 2025, Amazon announced the Nova Sonic foundation model, which combines speech understanding and speech generation into a single model, enabling more human-like voice-based conversations in AI applications. This new technology not only comprehends what is said but also how it is said—including tone, style, and speech
The European Commission is set to propose simplifications to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced in 2018, focusing primarily on reducing administrative burdens for small and medium-sized enterprises in the coming weeks. The planned amendments aim to enhance the competitiveness of European businesses while preserving the GDPR’s core
According to a study published by Forethought Research on 26 March 2025, the complete automation of AI research and development could potentially lead to a software-driven intelligence explosion. The researchers examined what happens when AI systems become capable of fully automating their own development processes, creating a feedback loop where
European Union regulators are preparing to impose significant penalties on Elon Musk's social media platform X for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), which could include a fine exceeding $1 billion and forced product changes. The EU investigation launched in 2023 found that X broke the law by
On 8 April 2025, Chinese DeepSeek AI introduced its novel technology, Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT), marking a significant advancement in the reward mechanisms of large language models. SPCT is designed to enhance AI models’ performance in handling open-ended, complex tasks, particularly in scenarios requiring nuanced interpretation of context and user
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised digital media through its ability to synthesise highly realistic content, with deepfake technology standing as one of its most prominent and contentious applications. The term “deepfake,” derived from “deep learning” and “fake,” refers to synthetic media—typically videos or audio—that convincingly depict individuals
On 11 March 2025, the third draft of the EU General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice was published, raising significant concerns among industry stakeholders and legal experts. Designed for providers of GPAI models like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Midjourney, the Code aims to assist businesses in complying with the EU
