While tech companies market AI as a productivity tool for everyone, a UK government study reveals an unexpected result: Neurodiverse employees may be benefiting far more from chatbots than their neurotypical colleagues. The UK’s Department for Business and Trade recently released evaluation results from its Microsoft 365 Copilot trial showing that while overall satisfaction was 72 percent, neurodiverse employees reported statistically higher satisfaction (at a 90 percent confidence level) and were more likely to recommend the tool (at a 95 percent confidence level) than other respondents. “It’s leveled the playing field,” one participant with ADHD told researchers during follow-up interviews.…

The logic of search has changed, and traffic growth requires a new approach. In the past, we focused on SEO, aiming to rank web pages highly in search engines, using keywords, backlinks, and technical optimization to secure a spot on the ‘homepage’. However, AI has quietly rewritten user search habits. More and more people are directly asking platforms like Tencent Yuanbao, Wenxin Yiyan, DeepSeek, and Doubao, rather than clicking through multiple web pages to find answers.This means that the entry point for traffic is shifting from ‘link clicks’ to ‘citations in AI responses’.For content creators, brands, and businesses, those who…

France’s Mistral on Tuesday cemented its position as Europe’s top AI hope against far larger US and Chinese competitors after a record fundraising round and a tie-up with chipmaking equipment heavyweight ASML. The 1.7 billion euro ($2 billion) cash infusion values Mistral at 11.7 billion euros, double its heft last year but a fraction of the $183 billion price tag placed on US firm Anthropic this month.

To enhance the efficiency of GUI agents on various platforms like smartphones and computers, a hybrid paradigm that combines flexible GUI operations with efficient shortcuts (e.g., API, deep links) is emerging as a promising direction. However, a framework for systematically benchmarking these hybrid agents is still underexplored. To take the first step in bridging this gap, we introduce MAS-Bench, a benchmark that pioneers the evaluation of GUI-shortcut hybrid agents with a specific focus on the mobile domain. Beyond merely using predefined shortcuts, MAS-Bench assesses an agent’s capability to autonomously generate shortcuts by discovering and creating reusable, low-cost workflows. It features…
