It’s no exaggeration when we say that things are happening in a lightning-fast manner in tech space nowadays, especially in terms of IoT devices. According to IoT Analytics, the number of connected IoT devices across the world could possibly reach a whopping 39 billion by 2030, which is an equally huge jump of 13.2% CAGR from 2025. So, imagine the sheer amount of pressure on enterprise networks if everything were to rely on cloud computing. That’s where Edge AI (artificial intelligence) comes in, deftly handling data processing directly on devices. It essentially deploys AI models and algorithms directly onto local…

Nearly 30 years after the laying of the first successful transatlantic cable in 1866, Rudyard Kipling wrote “Let us be one!” in a classic poem about the mysteries of deep-sea communication titled “The Deep-Sea Cables.” Today, it’s been over half a century of telegraph lines having given way to fibre-optic cables, but their unifying promise remains the same. The seabed is the next great battleground, transforming into an arena of great-power competition, surveillance, and sabotage. After all, fibre-optic data cables carry 99% of global digital traffic, including military, diplomatic, government and financial communications and flows. Even as trust erodes and…

Enterprises have crossed multiple critical thresholds in AI (artificial intelligence) adoption over the past few years. Not only has GenAI (generative AI) moved from pilot to production, but it’s also evolved from merely assisting in work into digital colleagues that participate actively. Today, organisations have distanced themselves from inflexible hierarchies and transformed into adaptive meshes and AOMs (agentic operating models) allowing AI agents and humans to collaborate more easily – a phenomenon we like to call continuous intelligence. Now, there’s a subtler but more far-reaching shift underway: one where AI agents aren’t restricted to individual teams or even applications any…

When it comes to the unpredictable nature of the real world, even the most advanced of technologies can struggle… For instance, in Texas’ San Antonio, a Waymo robotaxi drove into a flooded street during severe weather in April 2026, prompting the brand to recall nearly 4,000 vehicles for a software fix. While no one was injured, it did expose a graver challenge: intelligence isn’t simply about processing data. It’s about how to use previous experience when conditions change and about what to notice after knowing where to look. And when it comes to shaping AI design for the future, scientists…

Imagine finding out that that supposedly harmless chat you were having with a chatbot was used to hack your own account… That’s what happened in the first week of June 2026, when attackers successfully hijacked a number of high-profile Instagram accounts by working – get this – Meta AI, the company’s very own AI-powered support chatbot. If this isn’t the future, we don’t know what is. What did they do? They coaxed and successfully manipulated into bypassing identity verification protocols and resetting passwords. These bad actors were able to completely lock out legitimate users not with traditional credentials but by…

If there was a sliver of doubt that necessity is indeed the mother of invention, then the battle to power AI (artificial intelligence) has all but confirmed it. By now, we know that AI programmes, and the data centres that propel them, are huge energy guzzlers. In fact, according to IEA (International Energy Agency) projections, the sector’s energy consumption is projected to grow a whopping 30% a year until 2030 – at which point AI will account for 3% of the global energy use. It’s this insatiable appetite for space, power, and energy that’s pushed investment for AI into uncharted…

There’s no denying the fact that we live in privileged tech bubbles where our PCs sporting 64GB of DDR5 RAM (fifth-gen Double Data Rate 5 random-access memory) cost as much as our domestic vacations They weren’t cheap earlier either, but buying them in 2026 might very well need you to break the bank. Clearly, the RAM crisis is not just a PC nerd problem anymore. Unofficially dubbed the “RAMpocalypse” – or “RAMageddon” – it’s sadly become the new norm of the tech world since late 2025, with the memory shortage expected to stretch throughout 2026, and maybe even beyond. What’s…

When you open Twitter (X) today, almost every tweet has this comment somewhere in the thread: “@Grok, is this true?” Now, if the tweet spoke about factual data, like petrol prices going up, then it even makes sense. However, when you see people asking tagging Grok, the SpaceXAI-developed GenAI (generative artificial intelligence) chatbot by Elon Musk, and asking it to fact-check a tweet that claimed that aliens had landed atop the Burj Khalifa or the Empire State Building, you know we’re doomed as a civilisation. While the convenience of using an app to make a decision for you or asking…

COVID-19 proved that remote teams could succeed, no matter how far-flung they were and where they worked So, it was but natural for employees to develop a taste of the freedom of being able to respond to email and collaborate with colleagues on any device, from anywhere — whether they’re waiting for the kids to finish school, in the lounge at the airport, or working at their kitchen table. In this era of distributed teams and remote work, end-user computing via DaaS (desktop-as-a-service) is extremely relevant for enterprises that require scaling compute resources at the lowest cost and quickly. DaaS…

Are you a fan of chatbots like Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT? Chances are, you’ve asked them to generate passwords for you… After all, they’ve handled complex tasks for you, so it makes sense that something so accessible yet seemingly high-tech could produce secure passwords for your accounts. Turns out, the case is the exact opposite. Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are apparently more predictable than humans when it comes to patterns, as the AI cybersecurity firm Irregular found out. When it tested Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT, it found that the passwords they generated weren’t truly random, but…
