China wants more robotics talent. The country's elite universities are preparing to launch a new undergraduate major in "embodied intelligence," an emerging field that combines AI with robotics.

"Part of what that looks like is not having enough people," said Capasso. "All my people are busy, and they're all working on the core stuff. There may be new things they're not trained on or that are hard to learn. And ultimately that's what leads to risk.

It's asking: How do we expand our possibilities and go places we're not currently going, without disrupting the whole machine?"

The word has taken on even greater meaning in the age of social media, where we have unparalleled access to the lives of influencers, online personalities, and celebrities via phones. Take Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement. The news triggered mass hysteria online, with many displaying genuine raw emotion for a couple they've never even met. Or British singer Lily Allen, whose latest album West End Girl details a breakup and sparked a "parasocial interest in her love life," according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel has officially put the new Flemish Tier-1 supercomputer Sofia into operation. For the first time in history, the VUB will manage the Flemish supercomputer, located at the Nexus Data Center in Zellik, for the next 6 years. The investment of 8.6 million euros should help Flanders further in AI and HPC research. The Flemish government is investing €8.6 million in Sofia, which was developed by NEC. The system was selected primarily for its energy efficiency.

It makes for a weaker starting point, as companies see new opportunities around the corner to use AI to automate their work. It's not a new trend: These sectors showed weak job creation or outright job losses for the last couple of years of the Biden administration.

Dynatrace connects its observability platform to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The integration provides real-time insight into autonomous AI agents within AWS environments. For developers, this means better control over agentic workflows and their performance. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore helps build and deploy AI agents without requiring infrastructure management. The integration with Dynatrace ensures that agent telemetry is converted into insights. Teams can use this to monitor the reliability and responsiveness of agents at the trace level. Intelligent alerts for key metrics become possible.

"I think there's a bubble but there again I always think there's a bubble," Edwards told Bloomberg's Merryn Somerset Webb in a recent appearance on her podcast Merryn Talks Money, noting that during each cycle, there is always a "very plausible narrative, very compelling." However, he was unwavering in his conclusion: "it will end in tears, that much I'm sure of."

Chronosphere was built to scale for the data demands of the AI era from day one, which is why it is chosen by leading AI-native and born-in-the-cloud organizations,

There's a moment in Andor, the Star Wars series, that I think is far more human than sci-fi, when Luthen Rael tells Cassian Andor: "These days will end." It's not a threat. It's a truth. A signal. A reminder. A reminder that change is coming. It's fast and unrelenting, and you can either cling to the past or get to your feet and fight, fight for the future you want.
