As artificial intelligence accelerates across industries, organisations are entering a new phase of digital transformation where innovation must be balanced with control, trust and resilience.  While AI presents significant opportunities to enhance decision-making, optimise operations and create new business value, leaders are facing a fundamental challenge**: how can organisations scale AI adoption while maintaining control over the digital foundations that power their businesses?** Digital sovereignty has become a strategic priority for governments and enterprises as organisations navigate growing technology dependencies, evolving regula

Firm’s strong debut comes as as local markets navigate volatility following an AI-led sell-off Published Mon, Jul 27, 2026 · 10:49 AM — Updated Mon, Jul 27, 2026 · 10:55 PM [SINGAPORE/SHANGHAI] Shares of CXMT Corp soared 466 per cent on their Shanghai trading debut on Monday (Jul 27) following Asia’s biggest initial public offering this year, catapulting the chipmaker to the top of China’s stock market by valuation despite a recent sell-off in global tech stocks. As US curbs intensify competition in the global semiconductor race, CXMT has emerged as a key pillar of Beijing’s drive to build a self-sufficient chip industry and close the gap in strategic technologies such as artificial intelligence. The stock ended at 49 yuan, compared to its sale price of 8.66 yuan per share, after reaching

For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm. At its annual I/O developer conference , Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself — the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day — transforming it from a simple keyword input into a dynamic, AI-driven conversation starter that can accept text, images, PDFs, videos, and even open Chrome tabs as inputs. The company is also merging its AI Overviews and AI Mode features into a single, seamless search flow, eliminating the friction that previously forced users to choose between a traditional results page and

AI changes the work that people do. In an analysis of more than 800,000 messages from U.S. ChatGPT users, our new research suggests that 16.8% of work-related messages and 43.5% of occupation-specific messages are about tasks associated with another occupation. A small-business owner can independently draft copy, review a contract, or perform basic financial analysis. A salesperson can use AI to explore a customer dataset that might once have gone to an analyst. A marketer can troubleshoot a website without waiting for a developer. In each case, AI changes not just how work gets done, but who does what. Our new report, _Work at the Frontier: How AI is Expanding What People Do at Work_, studies this shift. We call the resulting pattern **task crossover**: work historically associated with o

By Paul Sandle LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Britain would consider regulating advanced AI models if its current voluntary system for testing them before deployment no longer ‌proved sufficient to protect the public, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan told Reuters. Britain has ‌favoured a light-touch approach to AI regulation, aligning more closely with the United States than the European Union, ​whose AI Act came into force on Sunday. The government sees AI as a driver of economic growth and has sought to position Britain as one of the world's leading destinations for AI investment. Britain is the European leader in AI funding and start-ups. But recent disclosures ‌by AI companies have renewed ⁠debate about whether oversight of frontier models should be strengthened.

Chinese tech giant Alibaba says its newest AI model can work alone, unsupervised, for days on end and still deliver results, a feat claimed almost exclusively, until now, by its American rival Anthropic. The model, Qwen3.8-Max, was announced in a post by the Qwen team on Monday, which says it delivers "comprehensive improvements across coding, work, research, and long-horizon tasks". The claim echoes how Anthropic's own top model, Claude Fable 5, has been described in the coverage of its release. According to the company, one test saw the model work "completely on its own for about five days or 125 hours of continuous effort," rebuilding a maths research paper's experiment from scratch and then improving on it. In a separate test, Qwen said the model was entered into a live online contest

This article is brought to you by COMSOL . In pursuit of improved range, greater reliability, and faster charging, electric vehicles are driving the demand for high-voltage electronics. Other applications driving this demand include wind farms, data centers, and server farms, to name a few. As the interest for high-voltage electronics increases, the risks associated with their sudden failure must be considered. Much of what causes high-voltage equipment to malfunction can be linked to the conditions of the climate in which it operates. Specifically, condensation on electronic surfaces caused by humidity can lead to corrosion, which can result in stray leak current and dendrite shorting during Electrochemical Migration (ECM).

For voice AI, knowing when to speak is harder than it sounds. Human speakers effortlessly hand off to each other in a fraction of a second, but previous voice AI systems couldn’t keep up with this rhythm. Their turn-based architecture relied on tiny models known as turn detectors, which faced an unenviable task: guess too soon, and the user gets cut off; guess too late, and the response feels sluggish. Only after the detector made its decision could the much larger LLM get to work. [GPT‑Live⁠](https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-live/), our third-generation voice system, removes the turn detector from the audio path. Its voice model is full-duplex, which means it can listen and speak at the same time. That eliminates the need for a separate detector and makes conversation feel more im

Sony Pictures' superhero spectacle "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" swung into the top spot at the mainland China box office during the July 31–Aug. 2 weekend, generating RMB463.5 million ($68.1 million over its three-day opening frame, according to Artisan Gateway. The tentpole project has grossed $121.3 million in the Middle Kingdom in its first five days of release. $19 million of this came from Imax, which makes it the highest-grossing Imax opening weekend in the "Spider-Man" franchise for China. **More from Variety** Pearl Studio's animated fantasy feature "All Wishes Come True!" moved to second place in its third weekend, collecting $31.8 million.

OpenAI’s first-ever influencer brand trip is sparking online backlash as tensions over the use of AI continue. Over the weekend, OpenAI took what appears to be a handful of influencers to a luxury retreat in upstate New York for what was called “Summer Club.” There, the creators were treated to farm-to-table dinners, wellness activities like beekeeping, and classes on how to better use OpenAI products. One creator posted about making a website, while another took a photo of a brochure that said “painting workshop” on it. The videos were aesthetic and lighthearted, but many of the comments were not. One influencer, for example, who posted about going on the trip on her TikTok [and Instagram](https://www.tiktok.com/@graceforpersonalityhires/video/7669031978213117198) had comments from people

_This article summarizes_[_an episode of Y Combinator’s video series_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxXgV54KzpQ)_featuring Jeff Dean, Google chief scientist._ Photo credit: Shutterstock In AI, the most successful companies test new ideas faster than their competitors. [Google](https://www.google.com/) chief scientist [Jeff Dean](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-dean-8b212555/) argues that the next major advantage lies in high-volume, automated experimentation. This means using AI to measure progress, test many options, and integrate the best results into products quickly. ## Automated experiments drive new research Companies cannot scale research by hiring more people. Instead, when results are easily measurable, AI systems can run their own experiments, learn from failures, and compoun

Chinese tech giant Alibaba says its newest AI model can work alone, unsupervised, for days on end and still deliver results, a feat claimed almost exclusively, until now, by its American rival Anthropic. The model, Qwen3.8-Max, was announced in a post by the Qwen team on Monday, which says it delivers "comprehensive improvements across coding, work, research, and long-horizon tasks". The claim echoes how Anthropic's own top model, Claude Fable 5, has been described in the coverage of its release. According to the company, one test saw the model work "completely on its own for about five days or 125 hours of continuous effort," rebuilding a maths research paper's experiment from scratch and then improving on it. In a separate test, Qwen said the model was entered into a live online contest

By Eduardo Baptista BEIJING, Aug 3 (Reuters) - China has revised regulations protecting integrated-circuit layout designs, tightening registration standards and allowing punitive damages for serious infringement, as Beijing seeks to ‌better safeguard domestic chip know-how. The revised regulations, signed by Premier Li Qiang on July ‌23, will take effect on October 15, the Justice Ministry and China National Intellectual Property Administration said in a document ​published by state news agency Xinhua on Monday. The rules cover detailed layouts that determine how components are arranged within a chip, designs that can reflect substantial engineering work and are central to semiconductor development even for companies that do not manufacture chips themselves. The measures do not amount to e

By Paul Sandle LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Britain would consider regulating advanced AI models if its current voluntary system for testing them before deployment no longer ‌proved sufficient to protect the public, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan told Reuters. Britain has ‌favoured a light-touch approach to AI regulation, aligning more closely with the United States than the European Union, ​whose AI Act came into force on Sunday. The government sees AI as a driver of economic growth and has sought to position Britain as one of the world's leading destinations for AI investment. Britain is the European leader in AI funding and start-ups. But recent disclosures ‌by AI companies have renewed ⁠debate about whether oversight of frontier models should be strengthened.
