A few weeks ago, Google launched the powerful AI model Gemini 3 and now it’s time for a faster variant called Gemini 3 Flash. In addition to speed, Gemini 3 Flash is said to offer improved intelligence, at least compared to its predecessor, Gemini 2.5 Flash. According to the Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE) and Simple

The need to train people in AI at a faster pace is driving the multibillion-dollar merger between tech education giants Udemy and Coursera. The merger, announced this week, is valued at $2.5 billion and will close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval by regulators and shareholders. The combined entity will reach a combined 270 million

Imagine it’s possible to balance regulatory desires to limit Apple’s market power with the welfare of the company’s existing customer base. Imagine a regulatory environment characterized by mutual respect and a willingness to collaborate on solutions, a place where Apple is forced to change some of its business practices, but in ways that benefit both

A warning for WhatsApp users: cybercriminals have discovered an alarmingly simple way to access a user’s conversations in real time by manipulating the app’s device pairing or linking routine. Termed ‘GhostPairing’ by researchers at security company Gen Digital (owner of Norton, Avast, Avira, and AVG), no passwords or account details are needed to execute the

Remember newspapers?  Or, more specifically, remember when everybody kept up with current events by reading newspapers and news magazines? I started reading The New York Times every day when I was in college. The paper was usually delivered to my door by 10:30 pm the night before. Once I first started work as a journalist, I read

Big Pharma’s AI race extends across drug discovery, development, and clinical trials—but AstraZeneca has distinguished itself by deploying AI clinical trials technology at an unprecedented public health scale.  While competitors optimise internal R&D pipelines, AstraZeneca’s AI is already embedded in national healthcare systems, screening hundreds of thousands of patients and demonstrating what happens when AI

Artificial intelligence has been part of the insurance sector for years – the Finance function in many businesses is often the first to automate. But what’s remarkable in the instance of AI is how directly the technology is woven into day-to-day operational work. Not sitting in the background as a niche modelling capability, AI is

By December 2025, AI adoption on Wall Street had moved past experiments inside large US banks and into everyday operations. Speaking at a Goldman Sachs financial-services conference in New York on 9 December, bank executives described AI—particularly generative AI—as an operational upgrade already lifting productivity across engineering, operations, and customer service. The same discussion also

Human Resources is an area in many organisations where AI can have significant operational impact. The technology is now being embedded into day-to-day operations, in activities like answering employees’ questions and supporting training. The clearest impact appears where organisations can measure the tech’s outcomes, typically in time saved and the numbers of queries successfully resolved.

New research describes how simulations can generate fresh tasks, rules, and grading on the fly, enabling rich, adaptive RL environments for today’s agents Patronus AI today announced “Generative Simulators,” adaptive simulation environments that can continually create new tasks and scenarios, update the rules of the world in a simulation environment, and evaluate an agent’s actions as
