HM Revenue and Customs has awarded a 175 million pound, ten-year contract to Quantexa, a London-based AI company, to modernise the tax authority’s data infrastructure and deploy artificial intelligence to detect fraud, fix errors, and close the tax gap. The contract is one of the largest AI deals in UK public sector history. It […]
Fintech is a sector known for speed and pressure. Employment is usually described in the language of momentum: rapid growth, market disruption, fast-paced decisions. However, this language has stopped resonating with strong candidates. Millennials and Gen Z in particular tend to seek a sense of purpose at work, with roughly 9 out of 10 […]
Windows, Office, Teams, Copilot, server operating systems, and the cloud licensing the regulator already flagged last July. A nine-month investigation, a February 2027 designation decision, and the first CMA SMS case to walk straight through the door the cloud market inquiry left ajar. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has opened a Strategic Market Status […]
An eight-month investigation arc, a $6m bellwether verdict, and a National PTA that has now resigned its Meta sponsorship. The line between independent expert and corporate spokesperson is, on the evidence, a budget item. Meta and Google have spent years funding a network of US parent and child-safety organisations that turn up, again and again, […]
A week after Samsung Electronics passed $1tn in market value, its largest union is preparing an 18-day strike that could disrupt the AI memory chips inside that valuation. The wage gap with SK Hynix is the spark. The bonus formula is the fight. Samsung Electronics sent a letter to its two largest unions on Thursday […]

The customer concentration footnote is what the next quarter has to answer. Cerebras Systems priced its IPO at $185 per share on Wednesday evening, above the marketed […]
Two corporate laptops, some credential material, and a forced macOS app update. The interesting part is how the malicious packages got published in the first place: not by a stolen npm password, but by TanStack’s own legitimate release pipeline, after the attacker code took over the runner mid-build. OpenAI said on Wednesday that it found […]
The company that put $13bn into OpenAI now wants the option not to need it. Cursor was the first try and fell apart over GitHub Copilot; talks with Stanford diffusion-LLM startup Inception are alive, and the broader strategy belongs to Mustafa Suleyman. Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing five people familiar with the matter, that the […]
AI tools are everywhere, so why do most people still use them like it’s 2015? Artificial intelligence now sits inside almost every tool you open, from search engines and office apps to browsers, phones, and creative software.
