Tech & Security

Thanks to a rapid technological development, millions of people now take things for granted, that they could not even imagine a few years ago. However, everything new brings not only opportunities but dangers as well. In this section we write about the ways to use the former and insure you against the latter. We discuss what each product is intended for, what individual devices can do, who invents and produces them as well as how to keep your data confidential and not fall for machinations, tricks or hoaxes. You will find all about it here.

Digital Oracles: Five Future Scenarios Where Progress Turns into Catastrophe

Digital Oracles: Five Future Scenarios Where Progress Turns into Catastrophe

Scientific and technological progress has always been one of the most controversial topics for discussion. In fact, it is precisely progress that creates new vulnerabilities. The exponential growth of AI power, the slowing pace of the fight against climate change, and the quiet epidemic of antimicrobial resistance—these processes are not just developing; they are accelerating. They are approaching critical tipping points, the crossing of which could trigger irreversible chain reactions.
Smart City: Technologies That Make Cities Come Alive

Smart City: Technologies That Make Cities Come Alive

In reality, a “smart city” is far more than sensors at traffic lights, parking payment apps, and 5G connectivity. A smart city is a complex and large-scale ecosystem in which technologies become an organic part of everyday urban life — just like roads, parks, and buildings. In such a city, the infrastructure begins to sense and understand its residents, respond to their needs, anticipate their desires — and, in a way, truly comes alive.
The Quantum Era: How Quantum Computing Will Transform the World of Data

The Quantum Era: How Quantum Computing Will Transform the World of Data

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.

From Assistants to Autonomous Operators: How AI Agents Changed the Digital Landscape

Not so long ago, a conversation with artificial intelligence resembled a dialogue with an erudite yet somewhat detached interlocutor.

Your Digital Twin is Already Living on the Web: What It’s For and What Our Virtual Doubles Know About the Future

Until recently, the pinnacle of engineering was considered to be a precise 3D model—a digital prototype of anything from a jet engine to a skyscraper. But such a prototype had a fundamental flaw: it was static. As soon as the real object rolled off the assembly line or was constructed, its digital copy became a useless artifact, quickly losing its connection to the original.

Vibe Coding: How a New Technology Changed Programming

Just ten years ago, talking about controlling a computer with the power of thought seemed like a plot from science fiction.

From Telemedicine to Martian Construction: How Human-Machine Interfaces Are Transforming Extreme Environments

Just recently, the idea of controlling a complex mechanism on the other side of the planet with millimeter-precision and full tactile feedback seemed like science fiction.

How Artificial Intelligence Changed Our World in 2025 and What to Expect in 2026

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.

Hackerless Attacks: How Autonomous AI Viruses Are Changing the Rules of Cybersecurity

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.

The Digital Glutton: The Truth About ChatGPT's Carbon Footprint

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.

Collaborator or Competitor? Why Generative AI Has Not Become a Full-Fledged Artist

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.

The Post-Password Era: What Will Replace Biometrics in the Coming Years

Until recently, biometrics—fingerprints, facial scans, or iris recognition—seemed the pinnacle of digital security.

Artificial Intelligence in China: From Facial Recognition to Intelligent Cities

China is rapidly transforming into a global leader in artificial intelligence, actively implementing it in all areas of life – from everyday tasks to complex technological solutions.

Hackers stole customer data from Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen

French luxury holding Kering, which owns the brands Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, has confirmed a cyberattack that resulted in the theft of customer personal data. The incident occurred in the spring of 2025, but it became publicly known only after a BBC report, which obtained information directly from the perpetrators.

Australia Calls on Social Media to Verify Users’ Ages

Australia has urged social media platform developers to use “minimally invasive” methods to verify the ages of young users.
