Amid the rapid advancement of generative AI and the simultaneous rise of autonomous vehicles and robotics, industry competition is shifting away from pure computing power and hardware scaling toward …
As of mid-2025, about a third of newly published websites were generated by artificial intelligence. That’s a massive increase from just three years before when the number hovered around zero. The AI written text provides fewer diverse viewpoints and is generally presented in a cheerful manner. That’s all according to an early study out last…
The next time the federal government labels a business a supply-chain risk, as the Department of Defense did last month to San Francisco-based AI tools maker Anthropic, the state of California will review that designation and make its own decision about whether to do business with them. That’s according to an executive order signed by…
1. How does generative AI restore old photos? Generative AI analyzes damaged areas, predicts missing details, and reconstructs textures, faces, and backgrounds using trained models from millions of image samples. 2. Can generative AI accurately colorize black-and-white photos? Generative AI studies objects, skin tones, clothing, and environments to apply realistic colors based on historical data…
While investors chase high-profile AI chip makers and tech giants, a quieter transformation is unfolding across traditional industries. Companies in healthcare, retail, financial services, and logistics are deploying AI to optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve margins. These “secret” AI plays leverage machine learning, computer vision, and agentic commerce to drive efficiency gains that show…
Copilot was rolled out across NZDF phones, tablets and laptops in September. Photo: AFP / Joe Raedle The defence force is drafting a directive about acceptable use of generative AI – a year after it was told stronger strategies were needed and eight months after it rolled the tools out at “speed”. A risk assessment…
Music therapy can be extremely helpful as a mental health technique, which can be augmented via the use of modern generative AI. getty In today’s column, I examine how AI can clinically assist in enacting a therapeutic method known as music therapy. Yes, in case you aren’t already aware, the use of music as a…
