Formula One becomes a proving ground for enterprise AI

As Formula One prepares for one of the most significant regulatory shifts in its modern history, the sport is also becoming a testbed for how artificial intelligence and cloud technology can operate under extreme pressure. A new multi-year partnership between Microsoft and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team places enterprise AI and cloud infrastructure at the […]
Data centres are becoming part of the urban energy system

As artificial intelligence workloads continue to drive demand for compute across Europe, attention is shifting from what data centres consume to what they can give back. Power and cooling have long defined the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure. Now, excess heat generated by AI-driven servers is beginning to be treated as a resource rather than […]
AI steps into the laboratory and begins to cut the cost of biology

Artificial intelligence has shown its strength in domains where progress can be tested instantly, from mathematics to software engineering. Biology has been different. Experiments are slow, expensive and bound to physical laboratories. A new collaboration between OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks suggests that this constraint is beginning to loosen. Working together, the two organisations connected OpenAI’s […]
