When a major power decides to alter more than 30% of its university offering in just five years, it is not merely intervening in the administration of its education system. It is choosing which skills and forms of knowledge it considers essential to its position in the world. This is what is happening in

  For years, the future of artificial intelligence was represented through immaterial images: cloud computing, neural networks, weightless streams of data. Then the pallets appeared. Millions of books were purchased, transported to warehouses, stripped of their spines, scanned page by page and finally sent for recycling. The scene retains something both industrial and archaic, because

For a long time, artificial intelligence was described as a machine capable of providing answers. It consulted archives, recognised images, translated information and, more recently, produced texts with surprising fluency. Within this representation, it remained primarily a tool directed towards knowledge that had already been formed, useful for organising it, summarising it or making it

  For many years, artificial intelligence was described as an almost weightless technology: models, data, cloud, algorithms, distributed computing. It seemed to belong to an immaterial world, made of screens and generated answers, invisible decisions and remote infrastructures. Now a phase of different substance is emerging: arms, legs, sensors, joints, hands capable of grasping objects

  The arrival of Claude Tag in Slack should not be read as yet another integration between a piece of software and a corporate messaging platform. The news, in itself, is simple: an artificial intelligence system can be called into a channel, receive tasks, access authorized contexts, remember operational information, and work asynchronously. Its significance,

  For decades, the imagination of future warfare was populated by anthropomorphic machines, autonomous armies, and scenarios that belonged more to science fiction than to strategic planning. Today, that boundary appears less clear. Not because humanoid robots have already replaced soldiers, but because some units have begun to enter, albeit in limited roles, a real

  China’s decision to assign a digital identity card to humanoid robots might look like one of those stories destined to intrigue technology readers for a few minutes, before slipping into the vast archive of eccentric innovations. In reality, behind that twenty-nine-digit code meant to accompany every machine from factory floor to scrapping, something far

  For years, the debate around artificial intelligence was framed primarily as a matter of innovation. More speed, more computing power, more automation, greater efficiency. Yet there are moments when a seemingly isolated event reveals something far more profound. The presence of Christopher Olah, one of the world’s most influential researchers in the internal architecture

  For more than two centuries, technological progress has been told as a story of expanding human capabilities. Machines amplified physical strength, accelerated production, and multiplied the speed of transportation and communication. Artificial intelligence introduces a deeper rupture. It does not merely extend what human beings can do. It begins to occupy the symbolic territory

  Sam Altman’s statement has the rare merit of a successful provocation: it forces everyone to look at something that was already in front of them, although many preferred to keep it at the edge of the desk. A child born today, the head of OpenAI essentially said, will never be smarter than artificial intelligence.

  For more than a century, the industrial economy revolved around a relatively simple principle: whoever controls energy controls a decisive share of development. Oil, electricity, telecommunications networks, logistics systems and strategic infrastructure have shaped the geography of global economic power. Today, that same logic appears to be approaching a new historical transition. The focus

  Artificial intelligence is not simply entering the workplace. It is redefining what qualified work means. For more than a century, social and professional advancement has been associated with distance from physical labor, with offices, documents, abstract expertise, and the ability to process information. Today, that very territory, once considered among the safest, appears unexpectedly
