Breakfast News: The Sunday Edition
Picture the small company that never shows up on a screen, because the number that would make it obvious hasn't happened yet. Finding it used to take weeks of reading. These days, Sanmeet Deo on our Rule Breakers team uses an AI assistant to shortlist prospects like that one. Meanwhile, over on Team Hidden Gems, Tim Green takes a company he's already eyeing and runs it through an AI assistant that pressure-tests whether the market has it mispriced. Missed Nvidia in 2009?
The Knock at the Door
The knock comes on a Tuesday, late afternoon, when the rice is still on the hob and the youngest is doing homework at the kitchen table. A caseworker in a thin coat introduces herself, asks if she can come in, and explains that the city has received a report and is required to follow up. The mother, who has lived in the same flat for nine years and has never had a child welfare investigation in her life, asks who made the report. The caseworker hesitates. It is not exactly a report, she says.
The Real Cost of Bad Data
Somewhere in a data warehouse, a customer record sits incomplete. A postcode field contains only the first half of its expected value. An email address lacks its domain. A timestamp references a date that never existed. These fragments of broken data might seem trivial in isolation, but multiply them across millions of records and the consequences become staggering.
The Invisible Workforce
Every morning across corporate offices worldwide, a familiar digital routine unfolds. Company email, check. Slack, check. Salesforce, check. And then, in separate browser windows that never appear in screen-sharing sessions, ChatGPT Plus launches. Thousands of employees are paying the £20 monthly subscription themselves. Their managers don't know. IT certainly doesn't know. But productivity metrics tell a different story. This pattern represents a quiet revolution happening across the modern workplace.
The Algorithm Will See You Now
Picture this: you photograph your electricity bill, speak a casual instruction in Manglish (“Pay this lah”), and watch as an artificial intelligence system parses the image, extracts the payment details, and completes the transaction in seconds. No app navigation. No account numbers. No authentication dance with one-time passwords. This isn't speculative technology. It's Ryt Bank, Malaysia's first fully AI-powered financial institution, which launched to the public on 25 August 2025.
The Paradox of Progress
Every morning, millions of people open ChatGPT, fire up Midjourney, or ask their phone's AI assistant a question. For many, artificial intelligence has become as ubiquitous as electricity, a utility that simply works when you need it. The barriers to entry seem lower than ever. A teenager in Mumbai can fine-tune an open-source language model on a laptop. A three-person startup in Berlin can build a sophisticated AI application in weeks using APIs and no-code tools.
Seeing Isn't Believing
The line between reality and simulation has never been more precarious. In 2024, an 82-year-old retiree lost 690,000 euros to a deepfake video of Elon Musk promoting a cryptocurrency scheme. That same year, a finance employee at Arup, a global engineering firm, transferred £25.6 million to fraudsters after a video conference where every participant except the victim was an AI-generated deepfake.
The Great Contradiction
In the closing months of 2024, a remarkable study landed on the desks of technology researchers worldwide. KPMG had surveyed over 48,000 people across 47 countries, uncovering a contradiction so profound it threatened to redefine our understanding of technological adoption. The finding was stark: whilst 66 percent of people regularly use artificial intelligence, less than half actually trust it.
Building for Everyone
In a small recording booth in northern New Zealand, an elderly Māori speaker carefully pronounces traditional words that haven't been digitally documented before. Each syllable is captured, processed, and added to a growing dataset that will teach artificial intelligence to understand te reo Māori—not as an afterthought, but as a priority.
The Kids Aren't Alright
The numbers tell a stark story. When Common Sense Media—the organisation with 1.2 million teachers on its roster—put Google's kid-friendly AI through its paces, they found a system that talks the safety talk but stumbles when it comes to protecting actual children. “Gemini gets some basics right, but it stumbles on the details,” said Robbie Torney, the former Oakland school principal who now leads Common Sense Media's AI programmes.
The End of Shopping as We Know It
Picture this: You're scrolling through Instagram when you spot the perfect jacket on an influencer. Instead of frantically screenshotting and embarking on a Google reverse-image hunt, you simply point your phone at the screen.
The Innovation Paradox
Artificial intelligence governance stands at a crossroads that will define the next decade of technological progress. As governments worldwide scramble to regulate AI systems that can diagnose diseases, drive cars, and make hiring decisions, a fundamental tension emerges: can protective frameworks safeguard ordinary citizens without strangling the innovation that makes these technologies possible? The answer isn't binary.
The Democracy Dilemma
Silicon Valley's influence machine is working overtime. As artificial intelligence reshapes everything from healthcare to warfare, the companies building these systems are pouring unprecedented sums into political lobbying, campaign contributions, and revolving-door hiring practices. The stakes couldn't be higher: regulations written today will determine whether AI serves humanity's interests or merely amplifies corporate power.
The Art of Conversation
In the gleaming halls of tech conferences, artificial intelligence systems demonstrate remarkable feats—diagnosing diseases, predicting market trends, composing symphonies. Yet when pressed to explain their reasoning, these digital minds often fall silent, or worse, offer explanations as opaque as the black boxes they're meant to illuminate.
The Invisible Revolution
In the bustling districts of Shenzhen, something remarkable is happening. Autonomous drones navigate between buildings, carrying packages to urban destinations. Robotic units patrol public spaces, their sensors monitoring the environment around them. This isn't science fiction—it's the emerging reality of embodied artificial intelligence in China, where physical robots and autonomous systems are beginning to integrate into daily urban life.
The AI Revolution in Education
In a classroom in Putnam County, Tennessee, something remarkable is happening. Lance Key, a Future Ready VITAL Support Specialist, watches as his students engage with what appears to be magic. They're not just using computers or tablets—they're collaborating with artificial intelligence that understands their individual learning patterns, adapts to their struggles, and provides personalised guidance that would have been impossible just a few years ago.
The Quantum Imperative
The 21st century’s technological narrative is rapidly being rewritten, not in lines of code, but in the shimmering, counterintuitive logic of quantum mechanics. The convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence – Quantum AI – isn’t simply an incremental upgrade; it’s a paradigm shift promising to upend industries, redefine security, and force a reckoning with the ethical implications of unprecedented computational power.
The Ghost in the Machine
The static hiss of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, once a symbol of anxious waiting and complex diagnostics, is increasingly overlaid with the hum of sophisticated algorithms. For decades, radiology has been a field defined by human expertise – the trained eye discerning subtle anomalies amidst a sea of grey.
When a small purple dragon leapt joyfully onto television screens in 1998, gaming felt simpler. Spyro's tale was charmingly clear-cut: dragons good, Gnorcs bad. Yet, as those early fans grew alongside the medium itself, uncomplicated childhood memories gave way to reflective curiosity. With maturity comes the realisation that even playful narratives can unwittingly reveal complex truths—sometimes challenging, always intriguing.

The contours of child care in the District will teach us about its future
Finding quality, affordable, and convenient child care is a notorious challenge for new parents. They’re an often overlooked demographic group that tends to be at stages in their lives and careers when they have the least economic security and flexibility, despite the highest caregiving costs they will ever face as parents. In 2023, the average annual cost of one year of child care for a toddler in a center in the District of Columbia was more than $24,000.
Americans might well have watched 'Weekend at Bernie's' with Biden's debate performance Original
Biden was obviously trying to remember what was told to say, as if there was a teleprompter. He likely would have remembered enough without too much preparation. He can read a teleprompter and deliver a message at a rally, as anyone can who is propped up like Bernie, the title character from the movie "Weekend at Bernie's." Biden is obviously not capable of four more years. Why would he even want to at his age and health status? Age sneaks up on people his age.

HP Takes Coding to the Streets to Help Poor Kids in Indonesia
We enlisted the help of renowned artist Darbotz, who came from the very streets where we wanted to make a difference. Over the years, Darbotz has built a visual language that connects with authenticity and understanding, using paste-up graffiti art (paper, paste and print) to get his message across. When we approached him with our concept, he was only too willing to create the initial invite to the class. Together, we posted his invitation across the city to get the word out.

Kids today eh? Seven in ten Gen Zs play music to remind them of the old days
Thursday 23-06-2022 10:53 18-to-24 year-olds might be in the prime of youth, but they are not above wallowing in nostalgia. According to Spotify Culture Next study, 68 per cent of Zs say they like listening to and watching media from earlier decades, because it reminds them of when things were less complicated. The report, which surveyed users in 16 markets, contains lots of stats on music consumption, but it seems more preoccupied with exploring the mental state of Spotify's customers.
92 percent of consumers use voice to search the web – 40 percent on a regular basis | Mobile Marketing Magazine
Wednesday 22-06-2022 13:27 Voice search is slowly moving into the mainstream as consumers lose their fear of the tech and the perceived privacy risk.

Consumers to brands: we want personalisation, but we don't trust you
Wary consumers are presenting brands with a major dilemma – they are demanding personalised services, but will walk away if they feel their data has been breached. So says Twilio's State of Personalization Report 2022. The mobile voice and messaging specialist found that 62 percent of consumers say that a brand will lose their loyalty if their experience is not personalised. On the flip side, 49 percent will become repeat buyers if personalisation is offered. That's the good news.
Money management app downloads soar by 46 percent as inflation bites
Savings-conscious UK consumers downloaded six million money management apps in the first six months of this year, says new research by app analytics platform App Radar. This was a 46 percent increase on the same period in 2021. And the report concluded that the spike was driven by the cost of living crisis in which UK inflation hit a 40-year high of 9 percent in April. But the above number was just for Android.
More than half of B2B marketing teams have frozen spending on Facebook ads
Has the cost of living crisis hobbled the market for social media advertising? Maybe, says a new report by Dreamdata. The research says the worsening economic climate has put "marketing budgets on the chopping block". In the study of 222 active Dreamdata users, 54 per cent said they have stopped active spending on Facebook ads, 42 percent have paused spending on LinkedIn ads, and 16 percent have even withdrawn spend on Google ads. Yet the report argues that there could be an upside.

In-game advertising could generate $17.5 billion by 2030
A new report by Research Dive says the in-game ad market could grow by 11 percent a year to reach $17.5 billion by the end of the decade. It argues that the key drivers of the growth will be alliances and acquisitions by the key players, growing social media activity and the rising popularity of mobile gaming. It adds that the key challenge will be the inability of some devices to support key games. The report divides the market into a few segments based on type, device, and region.
