Chatbots and other kinds of AI agents — and the companies that build them — may feel like a dime a dozen these days. But the truth is that, for both businesses and consumers, some may be infinitely more useful (and perhaps less dystopian) than others. Today, a startup that’s built a successful business around that concept is announcing a major growth round to expand its business. Manychat, which provides brands with a tool for managing and automating conversations and engagement across multiple messaging channels, has picked up $140 million led by Summit Partners. The funding is coming on the…

What can we do to build algorithms that are safe, reliable and robust? And what are the responsibilities of technologists who work in this area? In this talk, Chongli Qin and Iason Gabriel explore these questions — connected through the lens of responsible innovation — in two parts. In the first part, Chongli explores the question of why and how we can design algorithms that are safe, reliable and trustworthy through the lens of specification driven machine learning. In the second part, Iason looks more closely at ethical dimensions of machine learning, at the responsibility of researchers, and at processes…

On April 22, 2025, Andrej Karpathy, a renowned AI researcher, tweeted about the necessity of adapting documentation and products to better integrate with AI systems, specifically mentioning the use of curl commands (Karpathy, 2025). This statement had immediate repercussions in the cryptocurrency market, particularly among AI-related tokens. At 10:00 AM EST, the price of SingularityNET (AGIX) surged by 5.2%, reaching $0.87 from $0.83, while Fetch.ai (FET) increased by 3.8% to $0.58 from $0.56 (CoinMarketCap, 2025). The tweet’s influence was further evidenced by a spike in trading volume, with AGIX seeing a 25% increase to 120 million tokens traded and FET…
With its plan for a “European AI continent”, the EU Commission wants to catch up with other AI locations around the world: In terms of cloud infrastructure, Europe is currently equipped with three times fewer data centers than the USA, according to Commission circles. Corresponding capacities should therefore be created throughout Europe. The Commission wants to boost the development of AI in the EU with up to 200 billion euros. Of this, 20 billion euros are to be made available for up to five new “AI Gigafactories”. However, it is unclear how much of this will actually be provided from…

Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…
