The European Parliament adopted the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (EU AI Act) on March 13, 2024, which works closely with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to regulate the development and use of AI systems in the EU. While GDPR primarily focuses on fundamental rights and personal data protection, the EU
The evolution of machine learning has led to the development of powerful general models, such as BERT, GPT-3, and Vision Transformers, which have transformed artificial intelligence applications across diverse domains. These models, pre-trained on extensive datasets like Common Crawl for natural language processing or ImageNet for computer vision, demonstrate exceptional
Google DeepMind introduced the FACTS Grounding system in December 2024, which could revolutionise the evaluation of large language models' (LLMs) factuality. This benchmark is the first to enable automated verification of responses based on long documents of up to 32,000 tokens, with a particular focus on source fidelity
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, met with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on February 5, 2025, to discuss the country's plans for artificial intelligence development. Altman was previously sceptical about creating Indian AI foundation models, particularly regarding cost-effectiveness, but in his recent statements, he highlighted India's
Emmanuel Macron, the French President, announced a €109 billion (£112.5 billion) private sector investment package for artificial intelligence development in France.

The Trump administration launched a public consultation on February 6, 2025, to develop the new national artificial intelligence (AI) action plan, jointly overseen by the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The initiative is the first concrete step in Executive Order 14179,
The AI development giant Anthropic has made an interesting decision: while they advertise their Claude chatbot as an effective writing tool, the company has explicitly forbidden applicants from using AI assistants during the application process. The company explicitly asks candidates not to use AI assistants for writing cover letters and
On February 6, 2025, OpenAI announced the launch of its European data storage service, which allows companies to comply with local data protection regulations. The new feature affects ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu and API Platform users, ensuring data storage and processing within Europe. As part of the European data storage
Pre-training underpins the capabilities of large-scale language models like BERT and GPT, enabling them to capture linguistic patterns from extensive text corpora. This process equips models with versatile language understanding and adaptability through fine-tuning for tasks such as translation or sentiment analysis. The principles, methods, and mechanisms of pre-training reveal
A new milestone in European artificial intelligence development is EuroLLM-9B, which debuted on December 2, 2024. The 9 billion parameter, open-source language model supports 35 languages, including all 24 official languages of the European Union. The project aims to promote the preservation of European linguistic diversity in the digital space.
US President Donald Trump and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang held a crucial meeting at the White House on January 31, 2025, concerning Chinese DeepSeek's market expansion and the potential tightening of export regulations for high-tech chips. The discussion is particularly timely as the US Department of Commerce investigates
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged on January 31, 2025, in a Reddit forum, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that his company had been "on the wrong side of history" regarding open-source artificial intelligence after the Chinese company DeepSeek AI's R1 model shook global markets.
