With a new Gartner report suggesting that AI problems will “shut down national critical infrastructure” in a major country by 2028, CIOs need to rethink industrial controls that are very quickly being turned over to autonomous agents. Gartner embraces the term Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) for these technologies, which it defines as “engineered systems that

AI deployment in financial services has crossed a critical threshold, with only 2% of institutions globally reporting no AI use whatsoever—a dramatic indicator that the technology has moved decisively from boardroom discussion to operational reality. New research from Finastra surveying 1,509 senior leaders across 11 markets reveals that Singapore financial institutions are leading this transition,

Alibaba has entered the race to build AI that powers robots, not just chatbots. The Chinese tech giant this week unveiled RynnBrain, an open-source model designed to help robots perceive their environment and execute physical tasks.  The move signals China’s accelerating push into physical AI as ageing populations and labour shortages drive demand for machines

For many enterprises, the first real test of AI is not customer-facing products or flashy automation demos. It is the quiet machinery that runs the organisation itself. Human resources, with its mix of routine workflows, compliance needs, and large volumes of structured data, is emerging as one of the earliest areas where companies are pushing

Finance leaders are driving ROI using agentic AI for accounts payable automation, turning manual tasks into autonomous workflows. While general AI projects saw return on investment rise to 67 percent last year, autonomous agents delivered an average ROI of 80 percent by handling complex processes without human intervention. This performance gap demands a change in

Murder Mystery 2, commonly known as MM2, is often categorised as a simple social deduction game in the Roblox ecosystem. At first glance, its structure appears straightforward. One player becomes the murderer, another the sheriff, and the remaining participants attempt to survive. However, beneath the surface lies a dynamic behavioural laboratory that offers valuable insight

An operational AI forecasting model developed by Hertfordshire University researchers aims to improve resource efficiency within healthcare. Public sector organisations often hold large archives of historical data that do not inform forward-looking decisions. A partnership between the University of Hertfordshire and regional NHS health bodies addresses this issue by applying machine learning to operational planning.

Human conversation feels coherent because the brain maintains a state continuously. It tracks what was said, interprets implications, and updates priorities. Neuroscience distinguishes complementary systems. Working memory holds information briefly while reasoning unfolds. Long-term memory stores explicit knowledge such as episodes and facts, alongside implicit patterns that guide behavior. These functions rely on distributed regions,

Didero has raised $30 million in Series A funding to accelerate adoption of its AI procurement platform across global supply chains. The round was co led by Chemistry and Headline, with participation from M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. The new capital comes just over two years after the company was founded, reflecting rapid traction among manufacturers
