The year that ChatGPT went viral, only two US companies—OpenAI and Google—could boast truly cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

A new report published today by Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) highlights just how crowded the field has become. The institute’s 2025 AI index, which collates data and trends on the state of the AI industry, paints a picture of an increasingly competitive,

Over the past decade, airlines have spent millions of dollars on safety videos featuring tropical islands and celebrities. Why? My 55-minute flight from Geneva to Zurich didn't land on its first attempt. The A220-100, caught in strong winds, trembled side to side as we descended. And instead of lowering its wheels as we approached the runway, the airplane accelerated high into the sky at the last second. My heart pumped. Thirty minutes later, the pilot tried again. The man to my left prayed.

Now, over a decade later, ecologists believe they’ve figured out the cause of the bizarre die-off. While the deaths have long been linked to gigantic algae blooms in the water, it took until now to determine exactly how the two events were connected, and it turns out, it’s mostly humanity’s fault.
