Google is officially announcing a new category of laptops – Googlebooks. Powered by a DeepMind-developed system codenamed “Aluminium OS,” the devices will offer deep integration with Android and use Gemini AI as the foundation of their interface.
A typical day in the emergency department. A patient comes in with chest pain, and there is little time to spare. The physician opens the patient’s chart and, within seconds, sees previous ECGs, a medication list, allergies, lab results, a CT scan, and notes from a cardiologist at another clinic. For the physician, it is just a screen. For the IT team, it is a complex chain of medical systems, storage, data exchange standards, access controls, and backups.
The CEO of OpenAI believes a user’s age brutally dictates how they use artificial intelligence. While older generations treat ChatGPT merely as a modern Google replacement, young adults and college students entrust the algorithms with critical life decisions, treating the bot as their digital operating system.
CAS Cold Atom Technology, a firm tied to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled the Hanyuan-2 – a machine billed as the world’s first dual-core quantum computer. The design is meant to eliminate the need for extreme cooling, but Western analysts are calling out a complete lack of independent testing, noting that verified machines of this kind have been operating in American corporate labs for years.
Over two decades, the IT sector has evolved from a standalone services market into one of the key drivers of macroeconomic stability. It’s still often described as a volatile and contradictory space — dotcoms, bubbles, AI hype, promises the market doesn’t always have time to put to the test. But something else has been unfolding in parallel. The digital industry is turning into a source of innovation, foreign currency earnings, high-skilled employment, tax revenue, services exports, and the technological modernization of other sectors.
Swedish Tesla owners are one step closer to utilizing Full Self-Driving (FSD). Following its January debut in the city of Nacka, Strängnäs is joining the supervised testing program. Although drivers won’t receive this feature overnight, the rollout of the pilot program is a crucial legal step in getting this technology approved for the Scandinavian market.
Something remarkable has been happening in Azerbaijan in recent years. Government institutions are being digitized at a pace that would have seemed unthinkable just a decade ago. A region that 10–15 years ago was considered a laggard in high technology is not simply catching up — it is increasingly looking like a success story in rolling out digitization across a state system.
The demand for AI computing power is growing at such a pace that existing networks simply can’t keep up. In response to this crisis, Google Cloud engineers have unveiled Virgo Network. It is an entirely new data center network architecture capable of linking over 130,000 TPU chips into a single, giant computing machine.
A mere $20,000 for a drone can change the course of a war – this lesson from Ukraine has fundamentally altered the strategy of the United States. The US Department of Defense has requested a massive budget for fiscal year 2027, allocating a record-breaking $54 billion solely for unmanned technologies.
Platform engineering is a hot topic right now. Platform is a product with self-service features, providing the right infrastructure, tools, and processes that enable efficient, scalable software development, deployment, and management. A 2025 Google Cloud/ESG research report found that 55% of global organizations have adopted platform engineering, with 90% of those planning to expand it further. In the majority of companies (85%), developers already rely on the platform.
