China’s tech companies will drive adoption of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard that transforms AI assistants from simple chatbots into powerful digital helpers. MCP works like a universal connector that lets AI assistants interact directly with favourite apps and services – enabling them to make payments, book appointments, check maps, and access information on different platforms on...

AI models like Anthropic Claude are increasingly asked not just for factual recall, but for guidance involving complex human values. Whether it’s parenting advice, workplace conflict resolution, or help drafting an apology, the AI’s response inherently reflects a set of underlying principles. But how can we truly understand which values an AI expresses when interacting with millions of...

Huawei is expected to begin large-scale shipments of the Ascend 910C AI chip as early as next month, according to people familiar with the matter. While limited quantities have already been delivered, mass deployment would mark an important step for Chinese firms seeking domestic alternatives to US-made semiconductors. The move comes at a time when Chinese developers face tighter restrictions...

Google has introduced an AI reasoning control mechanism for its Gemini 2.5 Flash model that allows developers to limit how much processing power the system expends on problem-solving. Released on April 17, this “thinking budget” feature responds to a growing industry challenge: advanced AI models frequently overanalyse straightforward queries, consuming unnecessary computational resources and...

AI agents handle increasingly complex and recurring tasks, such as planning supply chains and ordering equipment. As organisations deploy more agents developed by different vendors on different frameworks, agents can end up siloed, unable to coordinate or communicate. Lack of interoperability remains a challenge for organisations, with different agents making conflicting recommendations. It’s...

The battle to keep online spaces safe and inclusive continues to evolve. As digital platforms multiply and user-generated content expands very quickly, the need for effective harmful content detection becomes paramount. What once relied solely on the diligence of human moderators has given way to agile, AI-powered tools reshaping how communities and organisations manage toxic behaviours in words...

As geopolitical events shape the world, it’s no surprise that they affect technology too – specifically, in the ways that the current AI market is changing, alongside its accepted methodology, how it’s developed, and the ways it’s put to use in the enterprise. The expectations of results from AI are balanced at present with real-world realities. And there remains a good deal of suspicion...

Chinese tech giant Huawei has made a bold move that could potentially change who leads the global AI chip race. The company has unveiled a powerful new computing system called the CloudMatrix 384 Supernode that, according to local media reports, performs better than similar technology from American chip leader Nvidia. If the performance claims prove accurate, the AI hardware breakthrough might...
