When my phone started judging me

I never bought an Oura Ring. I did not need to. My Samsung was already in my handbag, quietly keeping score.  I cannot remember the exact moment I began checking my steps.

Small states must treat artificial intelligence as a strategic economic imperative

By Ioannis Sidiropoulos Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a macroeconomic variable rather than merely a technological innovation. While early discussions centred on firm-level productivity and automation, the next five years are likely to demonstrate that institutional AI adoption (the integration of AI across government, regulators, public administration, and strategic sectors) will shape national competitiveness, fiscal resilience, and economic sovereignty. For small […]
