As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in modern economies, governments and businesses alike are confronting a growing challenge: how to balance innovation with control. Across the United Kingdom and Europe, concerns over dependence on foreign AI providers—particularly those based in the United States—are accelerating efforts to establish what is increasingly referred to as “digital sovereignty.” Recent developments, ranging from corporate contingency planning to

OpenAI is urging governments and businesses to start preparing now for a future shaped by far more powerful artificial intelligence, arguing that the shift could transform work, public policy, and the economy itself. In a new policy paper, the company says AI may soon complete projects that currently take people months, potentially reshaping how organizations operate, how knowledge is produced, and how people find meaning and opportunity in their careers. At the center of Ope

Melania Trump’s decision to bring a humanoid robot into the White House this week turned a policy summit into a vivid public demonstration of where artificial intelligence is heading next. At the second day of the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit , Trump appeared alongside Figure 3, a humanoid robot created by California startup Figure AI, making it what she called her “first American made humanoid guest in the White House.” The gathering focused on child

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has sparked a major confrontation between the United States government and one of the world’s leading AI companies. Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI model, is now locked in a legal and political battle with the Pentagon after the Department of Defense labeled the company a “supply chain risk.” The conflict has brought renewed attention to how artificial intelligence should be used in warfare, surveillance, and national securi

OpenAI is attempting to steady itself after a swiftly arranged deal with the U.S. Department of War (DoW) sparked intense public backlash, internal dissent, and renewed debate over artificial intelligence in military operations. The controversy began when OpenAI stepped in to secure a Pentagon contract almost immediately after its rival, Anthropic, was dropped. Anthropic had refused to loosen safeguards preventing its AI model, Claude, from being used for mass domestic survei

The technology industry is approaching a historic legal moment as Google and Character.AI move toward finalizing what may be the first major settlements tied directly to alleged harm caused by artificial intelligence chatbots. The companies have agreed in principle to resolve multiple lawsuits brought by families whose teenage children died by suicide or suffered serious psychological harm after interacting with Character.AI ’s chatbot companions. While the settlement deta

Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it can already perform work equal to nearly 12% of the U.S. labor market, according to a new set of studies from MIT. Using a large scale simulation model called the Iceberg Index, researchers created a digital twin of the American workforce by mapping 151 million workers, their occupations, and more than 32,000 skills against what today’s AI tools can already do. The result shows that current systems have the technica

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first federal budget marks a pivotal step in advancing Canada’s position in artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. The 2025 budget allocates more than $1 billion over five years to strengthen these technological ecosystems while integrating AI across federal departments and agencies (CBC). Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne outlined that $925.6 million will go toward establishing a large-scale, sovereign public AI infrastruc
