AI & tech

AI, devices, digital platforms and fintech: how technology is changing the way we work, pay and stay informed, explained without needless jargon.


  • The factory floor won’t retire

    Angelini Pharma turns thirty years of operator notes into GenAI tips for machine stops: the factory speeds up, but nothing restarts without the people who know the lines.

  • The ’90s, minus the gadgets

    Tamagotchi, mini consoles, and refurbished iPods are back on our work desks, driven by nostalgia and screen fatigue. What I miss about the ’90s is the music, not the tech.

  • Driverless cars, my dream ride

    In Zurich, some predict 80% of taxi drivers will be gone within five years. Waymo, Uber, Swiss rules and US tickets: the data on self-driving cars, read by a terrible driver.

  • Is WhatsApp Pay too late?

    WhatsApp is building a Payments section, and Italy appears on its list of countries. Anyone who has spent twenty years in payments knows how much habit, inertia and trust really weigh.

  • AI fatigue has become reality

    The workers who get the most out of AI are also the most exposed to burnout, say Upwork, Berkeley and BCG. As a moderate Claude user, I feel less tired. Here is where the line falls.

  • Smart glasses, I can wait

    IDC records a 167% jump in smart glasses shipments. The design rules for heads-up displays convince me, my prescription much less so: single-vision lenses and no way to enlarge the text.

  • Google shifts, clicks drop

    On 8 September Google rewrote its search results in Europe to comply with the DMA. Between new units for aggregators and suppliers and AI Overviews, clicks to websites are thinning out.

  • Trust when AI acts on its own

    By late 2026, 40% of enterprise applications will carry AI agents, says Gartner. Between benchmarks, court rulings and public retreats, how trust gets designed and why I automate little.

  • Bern steps away from Microsoft

    Bern shifts 3,000 federal workstations to openDesk by 2027. A small pilot with large consequences: bargaining power, European precedents and an Italy that keeps putting the decision off.

  • AI knocks on my password vault

    1Password and Anthropic let Claude sign in to accounts without ever seeing the passwords. The prompt injection figures, the rogue OpenAI agents and the conditions for changing my mind.

  • AI in care, not in your pocket

    MASAI, PNAS and Oxford: the evidence shows artificial intelligence helping research, diagnosis and surgery under human supervision. Self-diagnosis by chatbot, however, stays a poor idea.

  • Ghost Font and anti-AI tricks

    Dots in motion that people read and chatbots miss: Ghost Font reopened the debate on shielding content from AI. Between hidden devices and legitimate tools, here is what actually holds up.
