In an era where Google Chrome commands over 65% of the browser market, the decision to launch a new browser might seem risky and, dare I say, even foolish. Yet in July 2025, Perplexity AI did exactly that with Comet, an AI-powered browser that promised to transform how we interact with the web. At the time of its launch, Perplexity’s blog announcement encouraged users to ask Comet about sensitive decisions like insurance and investment plans.Its blog post read, “Accurate answers are the foundation of decision-making. This will compound in importance with agentic AI, when assistants make decisions for us, faster and…

Achieving results that make it to top journals like Science is never simple. This time, how did Google DeepMind leverage AI to upgrade gravitational wave detection, and what key breakthroughs are hidden within? It is important to note that the previous LIGO detections were often hindered by low-frequency noise, but with the intervention of AI, the observation range has been widened by 70%, breaking through the limitations of quantum noise.The DeepLoopShaping technology developed in collaboration between Google DeepMind and the LIGO team has significantly expanded the range of gravitational wave detection and has even been featured in Science. While this…

So it’s looking like Google AI Mode may become the default option of searching — replacing the traditional search model with generative AI search that scrapes a whole host of webpages to craft an answer.Yes, Google lead product manager Logan Kilpatrick did walk this back a little, saying that “more AI Mode responses and functionality” are coming to AI Overviews — rather than a straight up replacement. But given how this experiment continues to expand at a lightning pace, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the ultimate mission.Just to clarify, wasn’t saying AI Mode is replacing main Search. As…

Every leader is watching Meta double down on AI, from its $14 billion investment in Scale AI to its $10 billion commitment with Google Cloud, underscoring what every executive already knows: AI isn’t just the next big thing, it’s the thing.  As the undercurrent of every boardroom conversation and the subtext of every roadmap and strategy session, AI dominates the discussions I have as a partner at an innovation and transformation consultancy. Almost always, the same question surfaces: What should I do about AI?  It’s a fair question. The pace of advancement is dizzying, and the pressure to act has…

At the recent ‘All In Summit’, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis provided a rational assessment of the current state of development in the field of artificial intelligence. He openly questioned the AI systems on the market that claim to have reached ‘PhD-level intelligence’, asserting that their actual capabilities are far from this standard.Hassabis emphasized that true general intelligence should manifest as comprehensive abilities across multiple fields and tasks, meaning that it can achieve PhD-level performance in various disciplines, which current AI systems clearly cannot meet. He cited OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s earlier mention of GPT-5 as an example, pointing out…

The leaders of OpenAI and Nvidia plan to pledge support for billions of dollars in UK data centre investments when they head to the country next week at the same time as President Donald Trump, according to people with knowledge of the matter.The two companies are teaming up with London-based data centre business Nscale Global Holdings on the project, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private.OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang are part of a delegation of US executives expected to visit the country.
