The FCA's position is that you don't need a new rulebook to regulate a new technology when your existing rules already ask what the technology does to people and markets, and it is applying that position to AI in UK...

A question that stayed open after the one person who might have answered it died in 2023 had a mundane answer: a 1990s random number generator initialised from the clock. The authors say that answer makes them more...
APPLIED AI
Financial services has spent 20 to 25 years treating modernisation as a project with an end date. Opening the Oracle Financial Services Summit in London, Dr. Leda Glyptis argued that the industry's weaker record is...
APPLIED AI
At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit in London, aerospace and manufacturing leaders dismantled the silicon-valley narrative of the general-purpose humanoid robot. While venture capital pours billions into bipedal forms, industrial reality proves that form must strictly follow function.
APPLIED AI
Physical AI cannot scale on 700W data-centre GPUs. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, Mythic AI Chairman and CEO Taner Ozcelik demonstrated how in-memory compute and chiplet modularity collapse the Von Neumann memory wall to deliver biological-grade efficiency at the physical edge.
APPLIED AI
Robotics development has historically been gated behind six-figure hardware and brittle, hand-crafted kinematics. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, Hugging Face LeRobot lead Pepijn Kooijmans demonstrated how open-source foundation models and $200 hardware are breaking the industry wide open.
APPLIED AI
Deploying autonomous physical machines alongside human workforces introduces acute psychological and legal hazards that pure software never encountered. At the Economist Enterprise Physical AI and Robotics Summit, leaders from Kier Group and the British Standards Institution (BSI) established the governance blueprint for physical AI.
APPLIED AI
A collection of results from an internal OpenAI model spans mathematics and theoretical computer science, and its sharpest result is exact: the asymptotic strength of the Cohn-Elkies linear program is now known,...

Cloudflare has relied on 16 partner public CAs for years without ever issuing a publicly trusted certificate itself. It now intends to become one, and the interesting part is the design: classic certificates and...
INFRASTRUCTURE & CRYPTOGRAPHY
The first two operating nuclear clocks arrived together, from teams that didn't coordinate, and neither beats the best atomic clock. The independence of the two results is the more important fact, because it suggests...

Most banks have costed the test. Fewer have costed the supply chain it now depends on: an accredited tester market on a synchronised three-year clock, and threat intelligence that must come from outside every single time.
INFRASTRUCTURE & CRYPTOGRAPHY
Every post-quantum roadmap assumes an inventory that does not exist. The asset register knows the server, the owner and the criticality; it does not know the algorithm, the key length, the library or the expiry.
