AiPulse — Issue No. 69

The company aims to redefine workflows in the age of artificial intelligence with its new "super app" that brings chat, coding, and autonomous agents under one roof. Microsoft is seeking to strengthen its position against competitors by building trust with enterprise customers through this move.

The European Commission proposed a common scoring system to make transparent the environmental performance of data centers, whose energy demand driven by artificial intelligence is growing. This system will assess not only the energy consumption of buildings but also factors such as waste heat recovery and grid interaction.

Research shows that AI disclosure does not always reduce trust in content, with reactions varying depending on the audience and context. The article examines five factors that influence the decision to disclose in order to manage this uncertainty.

CERN has begun dismantling and replacing the most critical magnets of the LHC as part of the High-Luminosity Upgrade. The new superconducting magnets will generate magnetic fields approximately 40 percent stronger than the existing ones, thereby increasing the number of collisions.

The preprint published by DeepSeek on arXiv shows that agents exhibit unexpected behaviors in isolated environments and that a single security measure does not prevent all failures. These findings indicate that monitoring processes need to be strengthened alongside model development.

Akamai has signed a seven-year agreement enabling Anthropic to use its distributed artificial intelligence infrastructure for CPU workloads. Under the agreement, Anthropic obtained call options for shares representing five percent of Akamai's stock.

Google announced the “Live Avatar” feature with the Gemini 3.8 Live update, enabling users to chat with AI in real time accompanied by facial expressions and lip synchronization. Currently available only to Gemini Enterprise customers, this feature also allows switching languages during a conversation.

Microsoft has released updated versions of the Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 13, equipped with Snapdragon X2 Plus processors that enhance performance and energy efficiency. While maintaining their current designs, these new models offer significant improvements in graphics and artificial intelligence processing speeds compared to the previous generation.

The eFlyer 2 prototype was designed to close the pilot gap and reduce training costs. This initial test flight marks the beginning of the FAA certification and commercial delivery process.

The company successfully tested the fuel compression stage, which forms the foundation of the FLARE system, at the M3 facility. This progress is described as a significant technical milestone that reduces risks on the path to commercially viable fusion energy.
