The 62nd Munich Security Conference opened on 13 February 2026 in Munich, Germany, and this yearâs gathering feels different from past editions. For decades, Munich was about jets, troops, and treaties. Today, cyber and AI are no longer peripheral; they are part of the architecture of security itself. Cyber risks, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies [âŠ] This story continues at The Next Web Read more âș

If you opened a tech newsletter or even the internet in early 2026 and thought youâd stepped into a dystopian screenplay, or you are the main character in one of Isaac Asimovâs writings, you wouldnât be alone. Headlines trumpet layoffs, companies blame âAI transformation,â and somewhere in the background, billionaires cheer hot-off-the-press artificial intelligence strategies. Hereâs the uncomfortable truth: people are still losing their jobs, while AI gets most of... Read more âș

Have you ever asked Alexa to remind you to send a WhatsApp message at a determined hour? And then you just wonder, âWhy canât Alexa just send the message herself? Or the incredible frustration when you use an app to plan a trip, only to have to jump to your calendar/booking website/tour/bank account instead of your AI assistant doing it all? Well, exactly this gap between AI automation and human... Read more âș

Imagine the moment you bring a new dog or cat into your life. That mix of excitement and responsibility. Vet visits, vaccines, learning what food suits them, managing check-ups, and always wondering how to keep them healthy as they grow. Most pet insurance only steps in after a costly accident or illness. It doesnât help you avoid the situation in the first place. Lassieâs product is built around a different... Read more âș

In a technology M&A deal, whether you are acquiring or selling a tech or software business, valuation rarely hinges on a single dimension. Financial performance, growth efficiency, and cash flow durability remain the backbone of any transaction. In practical terms, this means metrics such as revenue and ARR, retention as a proxy for revenue quality, margin structure, and capital intensity continue to anchor how buyers price risk. However, alongside these... Read more âș

For families living with neurodegenerative disease, the hardest part is not always the diagnosis. It is the slow erosion that follows: memory fading, personality shifting, independence shrinking. It unfolds quietly. First, forgotten appointments. Then repeated questions. Then moments when a familiar face no longer feels familiar. The illness does not isolate itself to one body. It rearranges the lives around it. Partners become caregivers. Children become decision-makers. Conversations grow shorter.... Read more âș

We stand at one of historyâs most exhilarating crossroads. Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of work, business, and human potential at breathtaking speed. The very capabilities that make us most human, our creativity, our imagination, our ability to dream up what doesnât yet exist, are becoming our most valuable assets. This is not a story about humans versus machines. Itâs a story about human potential unleashed. Itâs about a... Read more âș

Databricks is having one of those years that most enterprise software companies would quietly envy. The data and AI platform says it has reached a $5.4bn annual revenue run rate, growing 65% year over year, at a time when growth across the sector has cooled noticeably. For a private company, that pace is rare. And it helps explain why investors have continued to pour money into Databricks, even as funding... Read more âș

Earned media has always been hailed as the holy grail of PR due to its unparalleled ability to build trust. Most recent surveys state that 40%â60% of the population still trusts organic content the most, depending on the country. However, I see significant business risks in relying on organic PR only, especially now that various AI systems are on the rise. Robots donât distinguish between earned and paid content when...

The company bought Super Bowl airtime to broadcast a simple message: âAds are coming to AI, but not to Claude.â Its ads depict a chatbot spitting product... Read more âș

It is just the beginning of 2026, and things are happening even faster than last year. Not only in technology, but also in regulations, laws, and in how we deal with all the information around us. As a person born in the 90s, social media was once an unknown land for me, a place that felt genuine in the beginning. It still had dangers, but it seemed less risky, or... Read more âș
