Image: Unsplash Three Democratic senators have launched a probe targeting seven major tech companies, demanding answers about whether AI giants are secretly passing their massive energy costs onto ordinary Americans. Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen, and Richard Blumenthal are investigating Amazon, Google, and Microsoft as electricity costs have increased 267% over five years in areas near significant data center activity. The investigation comes as research from Harvard Law School found utility companies are incentivized to pass rate hikes onto locals so they can offer discounted electricity rates for AI data center projects. Meanwhile, 70% of US households have seen their…
According to reports, Manchester United have ‘held talks’ over signing Al-Hilal star Ruben Neves, who is also linked with Newcastle United and Spurs. It is common knowledge that the Red Devils are in the market for a new midfielder or two as they are expected to overhaul this department next year. In the summer, Ruben Amorim‘s side were focused on overhauling their attack as they signed Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, while they landed Senne Lammens to be their new No.1 goalkeeper. Now, Man Utd need to revamp their midfield and will likely start with a No.6 after…

Wirtz joined Liverpool in the early stages of this summer’s transfer window, with this deal a major coup for the Reds as they fended off competition from Bayern Munich and Manchester City to secure his services. However, Wirtz has struggled for Liverpool in the first few months of…
As 2025 draws to a close, sustainability has shifted from the periphery of corporate strategy to the centre of operational design. For technology leaders, this year has been defined less by what to promise and more by how to deliver. The conversation has matured, but unevenly. Some organisations are now treating sustainability as an organisational capability, whilst others are still trying to reconcile their ambitions with fragmented systems and incomplete data. The task for 2026 will be to embed sustainability into the digital and operational fabric of business – to move decisively from strategy to systems. The year the…

When he assumed overall leadership, Wagener broke decisively with long time Mercedes-Benz tradition and processes. His predecessors, Karl Wilfert, Friedrich Geiger, Bruno Sacco and…

The UK’s technology sector has had, and continues to have, a significant demographic challenge. As the nation grapples with an ageing population, the UK government has responded with fiscal policies designed to extend the working lives of its citizens, predominantly through the incremental raising of the state pension age. Simultaneously, the IT sector, the vanguard of the modern British economy, continues to operate within a cultural and structural framework that systematically marginalises older professionals. The premise of the current UK economic strategy is built on the assumption of “fuller working lives”. With the state pension age having risen to…

It has been a dramatic few weeks in the Premier League title race. Arsenal took control at the top of the table during an 18-game unbeaten run across all competitions, but Man City have closed the gap on their rivals to two points. The Gunners have dropped points against Sunderland, Chelsea and Aston Villa, while Man City have hit their stride to leave themselves in touching distance of Mikel Arteta’s side at the top of the Premier League table. Despite this, Jenas…
