Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a subject portrayed in movies, from ground-breaking films like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) to the robot character Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and the lovable Robbie in Forbidden Planet (1956). In recent times, we have seen the artificial intelligence HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey…
There are very few aspects of life that artificial intelligence (AI) is not embedding itself into, and the sports industry is no exception. There are many different use cases appearing, from athlete training to sports analysis, through to television coverage. When the marathon runner Tola Tamirat crossed the finish line in the 2024 Paris Olympics,…
The mining industry may not be the first that we think about when it comes to cutting-edge technology, unless it is the edge of a drilling rig. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is having an impact on mining just as it is having on more obviously high-tech industries like life sciences. It is a trillion-dollar industry…
The word “robot” was coined in K. Čapek’s play ‘Rossum’s Universal Robots’ in 1920, which depicted artificial beings created to perform manual labour. The word “robot” (“robota: in Czech) literally means “drudgery”. Well before this, in 1770, “The Mechanical Turk” was exhibited, which played chess very well, but this turned out to just be a…
Artificial intelligence requires plenty of computing power. Large language models (LLMs), the technology underlying generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, require vast amounts of data to train on, and in turn, this training requires massive computing power. Executing a prompt in an AI chatbot requires processing power, and it is estimated that executing an AI…
When most people think about artificial intelligence (AI) they may associate it with chatbots like ChatGPT and its rivals, or with elaborate computer models running in remote data centres. People tend not to think about AI being used in consumer devices that they encounter every day: thermostats, TV streaming services, fridges and telephones, yet AI…
In case you were in any doubt that ChatGPT and its AI cousins were heavily used by students to do their homework, data shows that the usage of ChatGPT dropped substantially during the 2025 summer break, just as it did the previous two summers. Students are heavy users of generative AI, which will not come…
The wine industry favours tradition. The first traces of wine production were near Tbilisi in Georgia, around 6,000 BCE, but over the centuries, the industry has adapted to technological advances. The glass bottle was uncommon until the 17th century, though the first ever glass bottle dates back to Roman times. The wine industry is worth…
In August 2025 it was revealed in the press that a report produced by Deloitte for the Australian government contained several entirely fabricated citations to articles and books that do not exist, other than in the fevered hallucinations of generative AI. The report, costing taxpayers AU$439,000, was presumably not offered at a substantial discount to…
From time immemorial, people have liked to gamble: the first six-sided dice was found in Mesopotamia, dating back to around 3000 BCE, and in ancient China, wooden tiles for a lottery-style game have been found dating back to 2300 BCE. The first casino emerged in Italy in 1638. More recently, the advent of the internet…
