The creation of thinking machines inspires great optimism in the future of technical progress on the one hand, but it also creates fear for our freedom and safety. However, we are still far from creating really dangerous technologies. Today, artificial intelligence algorithms are too specialized and only capable of solving specific problems. The main operating principle of modern programs involves the application of skills acquired during training using a large data sample in unknown situations. For example, computers can help astronomers find new space objects by analyzing large amounts of data collected using telescopes. Humans are simply incapable of processing these large amounts of data.
Artificial intelligence, which until recently was merely a tool for analytics and simple automation, has learned to create in a truly creative way. It is now a full-fledged co-author in art, science, and creative exploration.
Every new medical drug undergoes numerous trials before it reaches the market. Sometimes this takes decades. However, in the digital age, a method has been invented to test new drugs significantly faster—for instance, by conducting experiments not on real volunteers but on virtual patients. Their organs are complex mathematical models, and their diseases are computer simulations. This has become a true revolution in pharmaceuticals.
Each major technological invention is commonly explained as the result of a scientific breakthrough, a fortunate coincidence, or the genius of a particular individual. Television, the computer, radio, artificial intelligence—all of these usually appear as products of their time, shaped by its level of knowledge, materials, and manufacturing capabilities. But a closer look reveals something else: almost no technology ever emerges “from scratch.”
The beauty industry has traditionally been considered one of the most “human-centered.” What matters here is not only the skilled hands of a professional, but also contact, trust, and a sense of care — something that, it would seem, only a living, real person can provide to a client.
The year 2025 became the moment of maturity for artificial intelligence. If earlier AI was perceived as a trend that promised to “soon change everything,” now it has truly become part of reality — from business and science to everyday life. Companies are integrating AI into workflows, laboratories are running experiments on it, and users often don’t even realize that an algorithm making decisions is already working alongside them.
Cyber threats have entered a new phase: hacker groups are being replaced by self-learning algorithms capable of finding vulnerabilities, creating exploits, and adapting to even the most serious defense systems without human involvement.
Training a single neural network can require an volume of water sufficient to fill a nuclear reactor, while our queries to ChatGPT create a carbon footprint comparable to industrial manufacturing. We have uncovered the price our planet pays for our dialogue with artificial intelligence.
When, in 2022, the Midjourney neural network generated the work "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial," which won a digital art competition in Colorado, it caused a shock. Many saw this as the sunset of human creativity.
A recent study has proven that artificial intelligence is no longer perceived as a revolutionary innovation or a novelty. Neural networks have long become a part of everyday life.
We live in an era when addressing climate change and achieving an energy transition is no longer merely an environmental goal but a genuine technological front line — one where “green” technologies are becoming the driving forces of industry, economy, and social transformation. In this article, we explore how new materials and energy sources are helping the planet, what role artificial intelligence plays in this process, and which companies are leading the greentech revolution.
In the 21st century, medicine is undergoing a true revolution — algorithms are replacing doctors, 3D printers are printing human organs, artificial intelligence is designing drugs, and for the first time, humans can control their own biology and literally hack their bodies. Our very attitude toward health, aging, and the process of life itself has changed. But what will be the result of this revolution? Is it the key to immortality, or just another form of dependence on technology?
Until recently, forecasters relied on vast amounts of data from meteorological satellites, ground stations, weather radars, and other sources (e.g., ocean buoys, radiosondes), which is received in real-time.
We stand at the threshold of a technological transformation comparable to the shift from steam to electricity or from analog circuits to integrated microprocessors. Today, the focus is on quantum computing—a technology that promises not merely to accelerate familiar computations but to redefine the very principles of how we interact with information. In this article, we’ll explore how quantum computers work, why they matter, and how soon quantum technologies may become part of our everyday lives.
Saudi payment startup Tamara has announced securing a financing package of up to $2.4 billion. The sponsors include U.S. bank Goldman Sachs, financial conglomerate Citi, and private equity funds of Apollo, managed by Apollo Global Management.
