The technology world is no stranger to hype cycles, but the arrival of generative AI marks something fundamentally different: not a wave of disruption, but a new epoch in digital transformation. Just as cloud computing redefined business operations in the last decade, generative AI is poised to reshape how entire industries operate.It’s important to note that generative AI should not be seen as an incremental tool for productivity, but as a foundational capability that will dictate tomorrow’s winners and losers. In the next 12 to 18 months, companies that strategically embrace AI will redefine their value propositions, business models, and operational capacity. Those that hesitate risk being left behind in what is becoming an increasingly divided digital economy.This emerging divide signals what could be seen as a “Divergent Future” – a world where companies with access to powerful AI capabilities accelerate exponentially, while those without face systemic disadvantages. The division won’t just be commercial, it will be societal. Access to AI tools is already beginning to impact education, economic mobility, and organizational competitiveness. Companies with the foresight to invest and the means to implement will shape markets; those without may find themselves more and more struggling to compete.So, is the window closing? It depends on how fast you're moving. The companies that act decisively now by investing in sovereign, sustainable AI infrastructure and rethinking how their people and processes create value, are the ones most likely to lead in this new era. For those who hesitate, catching up may soon become not just difficult, but impossible.AI sovereignty as a strategic priorityAs demand for AI infrastructure surges globally, sovereign infrastructure is quickly becoming a key differentiator. But AI sovereignty isn't about ticking compliance boxes, it’s about having true control. This means owning your infrastructure, ensuring independence from foreign entities, managing proprietary data entirely within a given jurisdiction, and maintaining legal autonomy. These four areas – infrastructure control, foreign independence, data ownership, and legal autonomy – form the basis of meaningful AI sovereignty.Recent shifts in geopolitical sentiment, especially regarding data residency and access, are driving demand for AI infrastructure located outside the jurisdiction of US-based hyperscalers. Sovereign cloud infrastructure offers organizations – especially those in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government – a secure alternative that avoids exposure to extraterritorial legislation like the US Patriot Act.But genuine AI sovereignty doesn’t come from a sticker that says, “local cloud.” It requires intentional design - where your data lives, who owns the IT infrastructure, and where the provider itself is based all matter. Without aligning all three, claims of sovereignty can fall apart under scrutiny.However, the AI landscape is rarely quiet, and recent political developments have only added to its complexity. In the United States, the Biden administration introduced the BIS diffusion bill, a policy designed to control global distribution of GPUs. Under the framework, countries are categorized into tiers, with allied nations such as the UK and most of Europe granted wider access, while others face restrictions or outright bans. This has significant implications for AI development, creating a controlled environment for where infrastructure can be located.In this new reality, companies can’t afford to treat infrastructure strategy as a back-office decision. Companies must now factor geopolitical volatility, supply chain dynamics, and regulatory risks into their AI infrastructure strategies.The environmental cost of AI: What questions companies must askThe environmental footprint of AI cannot be ignored. With large-scale model training and inference workloads becoming the norm, data centers are consuming more energy than ever before. A single AI GPU today can draw over 1,200 watts, equivalent to 12 standard laptops. In aggregate, these GPUs are housed in facilities that can contain tens of thousands of units, representing a significant strain on energy systems globally.Sustainability must be built into the process from the start. That begins with selecting data center locations based on proximity to abundant renewable energy. Unlike traditional infrastructure, AI data centers don’t need to be close to urban areas. They can be strategically located in regions with surplus wind, hydro, or solar energy, as long as they have the right fiber connectivity to handle real-time data flows.However, despite this flexibility, many hyperscalers continue to site infrastructure in fossil-fuel-dominated grids, and there is often a lack of transparency in how energy is sourced or used. Companies should ask tough questions about where their AI workloads are running, what powers them, and what emissions are associated with that usage. Without this accountability, greenwashing will continue to undermine genuine sustainability efforts.Data centers also need to be built for long-term efficiency. This includes using the latest generation of GPUs and implementing modular architecture that supports hardware swaps without costly retrofits. Advanced cooling systems are equally critical. Traditional air cooling just isn’t enough anymore. Closed-loop liquid cooling systems should become the norm, as they’re much more efficient and use less water, which helps protect local water resources.Selecting AI infrastructure is no longer just a technical decision — it is a sustainability commitment that demands rigorous due diligence on energy use, location strategy, and cooling technologies. Companies must embed environmental considerations into their AI strategy from the outset, asking the hard questions when selecting an AI cloud partner.Strategic timing: The 12–18-month windowWe are now in a critical phase. The next 12 to 18 months represent a strategic window for companies to act. The market is maturing rapidly, foundational models are stabilizing, and the tools to deploy AI effectively across sectors are becoming more accessible.But this accessibility comes with responsibility. Companies must think strategically about how they deploy AI. This means more than just selecting a tool or API. It’s time to align AI with business models, workforce planning, ethical values, and environmental goals. This should be accompanied by selecting AI infrastructure partners who provide sovereignty and sustainability.The risk of waiting is real. Late adopters will not only miss early efficiency gains, but may find themselves structurally disadvantaged in adapting to a world where AI dictates economic competitiveness. The divide will grow, and catching up will become significantly harder.AI isn’t a “maybe” anymore - it’s foundational. It’s going to be a key factor in defining competitive advantage, not just for companies, but for entire nations and economies in the years to come. But with this shift, we need to think long-term. We need to build AI infrastructure that is scalable, ethical, sovereign, and sustainable. We must regulate AI in ways that protect society without paralyzing innovation. And we should recognize that in this era, performance alone is not enough. Trust, responsibility, and transparency will be just as important as speed and scale.We list the best business cloud storage.This article was produced as part of TechRadarPro's Expert Insights channel where we feature the best and brightest minds in the technology industry today.

MobLand season 2: key information- Officially renewed in June- Main cast expected to return- No official trailer released yet- Plot details remain under wraps- Tom Hardy has hopes for more seasonsMobLand season 2 has officially been renewed.Just weeks after season 1's epic arrival on Paramount+, the news about the series getting renewed for season 2 comes as no real surprise given the impressive viewing figures the show received. We're talking 2.2 million views globally for the first episode alone.And I expect, soon enough, that it'll earn a spot as one of the best Paramount+ shows. A show jam packed with big names and even bigger action scenes, you can't ask for much more from a crime drama. Indeed, MobLand seriously delivered.Following two warring London crime families and a fixer – Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) hired to work for The Harrigans – ten magnificent episodes of power grabbing, ferociously entertaining fight scenes and empire toppling conflict made up the first season.And now, MobLand is coming back for more on one of the best streaming services. Here's what we know so far about MobLand season 2 release date, predicted cast, plot rumors and more.MobLand season 2: is there a release date?A post shared by MobLand (@mobland_pplus)A photo posted by on There's no MobLand season 2 release date yet, but we can certainly cope with that missing piece for now, since what we do know is that MobLand is definitely coming back for another season.On June 23, less than a month after the season 1 finale, the hit Paramount+ show was officially renewed.In an announcement by Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment (as per Deadline), said: "With more than 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph – driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse of performances of Tom, Pierce and Helen."We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to #1 in the UK".Given MobLand season 2's June renewal, I'd predict a release date of at least late 2026, early 2027.MobLand season 2: has a trailer been released? No official MobLand season 2 trailer just yet (Image credit: Paramount Plus)There's no official MobLand season 2 trailer yet. Unsurprising news given the cast and crew aren't back filming and renewal only happened in June.For season 1, the trailer dropped only a few weeks before the show's premiere on Paramount+. So, I'm sure it's a little while off yet.MobLand season 2: predicted castThe main MobLand cast are all expected to return (Image credit: Paramount Plus)Before the MobLand season 2 renewal, producer David Glasser told Deadline when asked who would return for the MobLand season 2 cast: "Same team. Same everybody. Everybody's coming back. Everybody. We're one big family".So, here's the predicted cast given how MobLand season 1 ended:Tom Hardy as Harry Da SouzaPierce Brosnan as Conrad HarriganHelen Mirren as Maeve HarriganPaddy Considine as Kevin HarriganJoanne Froggatt as Jan Da SouzaAnson Boon as Eddie HarriganLara Pulver as Bella HarriganJasmine Jobson as ZosiaJanet McTeer as Kat McAllisterMandeep Dhillon as Seraphina HarriganToby Jones as Colin TattersallThe MobLand season 1 finale concluded in fitting fashion given how the rest of the episodes panned out – with lots of deaths. And the body count shot up as the Harrigans and Stevensons fought it out in a crescendo suited to any great crime drama. Fortunately, Harry was there to see an end to it.From this, we know that Richie Stevenson (Geoff Bell), O'Hara Delaney (Lisa Dwan) and Kiko (Antonio González Guerrero) were all killed. And then, of course, all of Richie's men, thanks to Harry's swift justice.It also feels pretty certain that undercover agent Alice Barnes aka Nicola (Emily Barber) met her demise, though we didn't actually see it happen. So, the door is left slightly ajar for her possible return.Other big names from MobLand season 1 who met their untimely demise throughout the course of the show include Tommy Stevenson, DS Ivan Fisk, DC Yvonne Mukasa, Alan Rusby and many more.MobLand season 2: story synopsis and rumorsWhat will Eddie do with the information he's learned? (Image credit: Paramount Plus)Full spoilers for MobLand season 1 to follow. Plus, potential spoilers for season 2.MobLand season 1 came to a tumultuous end with a finale packed with twists, bloody justice and big power moves.Harry may be a fixer that tackles a host of problems for the drama-prone Harrigans, but some things just can't be fixed without a good old fashion shootout (and car explosions, mole hunting and so much more chaos).But the one thing viewers really didn't see coming in the MobLand season 1 finale was the stabbing of Harry Da Souza by none other than his wife, Jan, (sort of accidentally) during a heated argument.Why? Because finding time for home life took the backseat for Harry when he was too busy fixing other people's problems.But how serious was this knife-to-the-chest injury? Well, MobLand writer and exec producer, Jez Butterworth, was quick to answer the question during a chat with the New York Post: "I mean, if you think about it, 'is Harry dead?' No. We're not gonna – We love Harry. We love Tom".Adding: "It felt satisfyingly dramatic that having walked through fire for 10 episodes, what happens at the end is the one thing he's not expecting".And given the Glasser was keen to say that all the cast would be returning when speaking to Deadline, we'd be seriously surprised if Harry wasn't there. It doesn't even seem worth contemplating.Conrad Harrigan enters prison to wild cheers (Image credit: Paramount Plus)Then, of course, there's the whole storyline around Eddie Harrigan finding out that Conrad is in fact his dad, and not his grandad as he'd been led to believe. We're yet to witness the fallout of this huge life-changing revelation, as well as how Maeve's prompting to turn Eddie against Harry and Seraphina will play out.And it seems Eddie won't get a chance at confrontation with his dad just yet as the MobLand season 1 finale saw Conrad enter prison after his arrest in the penultimate episode.While Conrad was responsible for a lot of bloody merciless killings throughout season 1, the crime he's finally arrested for is in fact a framed murder from DNA evidence planted by Colin Tattersall. Conrad's arrival in prison though was met with rapturous applause by his fellow inmates. A sign of respect for everything he's achieved so far and the final take down of the Stevensons.It appears heading into MobLand season 2 then that Kevin has seemingly declared himself as the new boss of the Harrigan crime family – while Conrad is incarcerated, at least. So, there's plenty to unpack there.And with the Stevensons wiped out of the picture, Harry has also seemingly earned himself a new potential season 2 villain in Kat McTeer for refusing to turn on the Harrigans when asked. Plus, she's got Seraphina in her pocket, too.New villains, loads of crime and wise-cracking Londoners seem to be the order of the day when it comes to MobLand season 2 and I wouldn't have it any other way.Will there be more seasons of MobLand?Hardy hopes for more MobLand (Image credit: Paramount Plus)Fortunately, though MobLand season 2 was only announced in June, there's already talk of more.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Hardy said: "The plan is definitely to see more seasons. The question is: Does it become international? There are international elements to organized crime, which are touched on in season one and the control of drugs and ammunition and weapons and people and all kinds of things that go through Europe and from Africa through to South America, Pakistan and the variable commodities that move around Europe."There are families that are involved in each European country that are vying for power to have that status to be able to move these kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into the world stage".More units like the Harrigans and Harry across the world?

Half of UK businesses want to ditch US cloud providersMany have already started repatriating applicationsData security remains a high concernNew research from data center solution provider Asanti has revealed that one in two (52%) UK IT leaders plan to move away from US cloud providers.Although previous reports have suggested that ongoing geopolitical tensions could be motivating some leaders to switch, Asanti says data sovereignty (95%) and data residency (93%) requirements are mostly responsible.The survey's respondents agree that recent political developments are causing them to want to limit data exposure to US jurisdiction, but this was a concern only raised by 45%.UK companies want to use US clouds lessThe demand for greater trust, control and strategic sovereignty in data management are pushing the shift, with companies becoming increasingly aware of jurisdictional risks. Geopolitical tensions and the involvement of regulatory bodies has also caused many companies to reconsider their setups."It’s no longer just about performance or cost. It’s about trust, control and strategic sovereignty," Asanti CEO Stewart Laing explained.Although we're beginning to see more reports about cloud relocations, the trend has been ongoing for many months. In October 2024, 91% of organizations were already repatriating some applications, Asanti says.High public cloud costs (41%), limited control and customization (39%), slow real-time data transfer (36%) and security, compliance and risk concerns (39%) were all raised during a previous study, suggesting a broad sense of dissatisfaction with solutions traditionally provided by US hyperscalers.Laing added: "Cloud is powerful – but not perfect. The lesson here is that infrastructure strategy needs to be driven by business needs, not vendor hype."However, repatriating applications comes with its own challenges, including migration complexity (38%), vendor lock-in and inflexible contracts (36%) and a lack of skills to deal with migrations (41%).Looking ahead, Asanti is advising businesses not only to consider their needs from a solution, but also to assess geopolitical risks, match workload sensitive with hosting models and to ensure flexibility.You might also likeThese are the best cloud hosting providersNon-US businesses want to cut back on using US cloud systemsWe've created a list of the best cloud storage and best cloud backup tools

A ransomware attack targeted a healthcare organisation in the UKThe disruptions to patient care tragically contributed to a patient deathCriminals target critical services as they are likely to pay the ransomRansomware attacks are devastating for victims, but this has now reached a new and tragic level, with the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) confirming that an attack on London hospitals in 2024 that forced ambulances to be diverted and disrupted blood testing has contributed to a patient's death.This attack targeted Synnovis, a London-based pathology service, and cybercriminal group Qilin caused severe disruptions to the blood-testing services, and the delay in a blood test was a ‘contributing factor’ to the death of a patient.Around 800 operations and 700 outpatient appointments were cancelled or rescheduled due to the attack, and personal information such as names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, and even blood test data is suspected to have been compromised and published in the incident.Tragic consequencesCybercriminals target critical infrastructure such as hospitals because they are likely to pay ransoms in order to get services up and running with minimal disruptions in order to protect patients, but this, of course, requires a level of disruption no matter what.“One patient sadly died unexpectedly during the cyber-attack,” confirmed the King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.“As is standard practice when this happens, we undertook a detailed review of their care. The patient safety incident investigation identified a number of contributing factors that led to the patient’s death. This included a long wait for a blood test result due to the cyber-attack impacting pathology services at the time. We have met with the patient’s family, and shared the findings of the safety investigation with them.”It’s said that Qilin, the ransomware gang, demanded $50 million from Synnovis in return for the stolen data, but reports suggest that Synnovis either refused or failed to pay the ransom, and the data was then published online.This is in line with the Government’s ransomware payment ban for public organizations, which aims to dissuade ransomware gangs from targeting public services.Via The RecordYou might also likeTake a look at our picks for the best malware removal software aroundCheck out our choice for the best antivirus tools on offerRussia-linked Qilin group says it was responsible for London hospitals cyberattack

The Google Pixel 10 could gain a telephoto cameraHowever, the main and ultra-wide sensors could be downgradedOther leaked specs include a brighter screen and a bigger batteryThe Google Pixel 10’s cameras could be both an upgrade and a downgrade on its predecessor’s according to a new rumor, with the phone apparently set to gain a telephoto camera, but to have worse sensors for its other two snappers.This is according to Android Headlines, which – in line with previous leaks – claims that the Pixel 10 will have a telephoto camera, which is something the Google Pixel 9 doesn’t have. This will apparently be the same 10.8MP 5x zoom one as is found in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and which will also supposedly be used by the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.So that’s good news, but it’s apparently coming at a cost, with this report saying that the Pixel 9’s 50MP main camera will be replaced by the Google Pixel 9a’s 48MP snapper, which has a smaller 1/2.0-inch sensor.The ultra-wide camera could be in for an even bigger downgrade, with Android Headlines saying it will be just 12MP this year, down from 48MP on the Pixel 9.On the plus side, going by a previous leak the Google Pixel 10 might at least offer improved macro photography, with both the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras possibly set to feature a macro mode.A bigger battery and a brighter screenThe Google Pixel 9 (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future)In any case, this latest report also details some other specs, and there’s again a mix of upgrades and downgrades. As far as upgrades go, the Google Pixel 10 will apparently have a brighter screen, with its peak brightness said to reach 3,000 nits (up from 2,700 nits on the Pixel 9). The display is apparently otherwise unchanged, with the Pixel 10 said to have the same 6.3-inch FHD+ 120Hz screen as its predecessor.Also for upgrades, the battery could be slightly bigger at 4,970mAh (up from 4,700mAh), along with slightly higher 29W wired charging speeds, while wireless charging will again apparently top out at 15W.The chipset is expected to be a new Tensor G5, though this will supposedly once again be paired with 12GB of RAM and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of storage.But the Pixel 10 apparently won’t have a vapor chamber, and while its predecessor didn’t either, the Pixel 9 Pro does, so that’s slightly disappointing. Worse, it’s said to lack Wi-Fi 7 support, despite the Pixel 9 having this.So the Google Pixel 10 is sounding like something of a mixed bag, with these rumored camera changes in particular likely to have a real impact. If this report is accurate then Google has chosen versatility over quality for the cameras, so it will be interesting to see how much impact that has on the photos you can take.We’ll probably find out in August, with August 20 tipped as the Pixel 10 announcement date.You might also likeThe Google Pixel 10 might have MagSafe-like charging – and do it better than the Samsung Galaxy S25The Google Pixel 10 series colors have leaked in full – and two old favorites are missingA Google Pixel 10 prototype and possible release date have leaked, and it could be coming later than expected

Apple Watch Hermès users have been warned not to update their devicesSpecifically, the watchOS 26 beta 2 update is causing ‘continuous’ crashesFor now, there’s no fix other than avoiding the beta softwareThe Apple Watch Hermès is one of the best Apple Watches, but if you own one, you’ll definitely want to avoid installing the watchOS 26 beta 2 upgrade for now.That’s because Apple has warned users that the update is causing the device to crash repeatedly – and right now, there doesn’t seem to be a fix in sight.The instruction was issued in Apple’s watchOS 26 beta 2 release notes. There, Apple included the following cautionary advice: “Apple Watch Hermès crashes continuously if updated to watchOS 26 beta 2. It is advised that these users do not update to beta 2.”It’s a stark reminder that you shouldn’t install beta software unless you absolutely need to, as it often comes with serious bugs that can negatively affect your devices.It’s worth noting that other versions of the Apple Watch do not appear to be affected, with neither the Apple Watch Series 10 nor the Apple Watch Ultra 2 mentioned in the notes.In case you didn’t know, the Apple Watch Hermès is a special-edition made with its own bands and watch faces. Although Apple didn’t divulge the cause of the issue, it’s likely that it’s caused by watchOS 26 beta 2’s interaction with some of these exclusive features.The crash loop doesn’t seem to be the only issue affecting Apple Watch Hermès users running Apple’s latest software betas. AppleInsider reports that users have experienced overheating and an inability to charge the watch, while users whose iPhones are also running the iOS 26 beta 2 update have apparently been unable to open the Watch app on their phones.Be careful with betas(Image credit: Shutterstock)The bug illustrates why it’s always advisable to avoid installing beta software – whether it’s for your Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac, or anything else – unless you really need to. If you must go ahead, you should install the updates on non-critical devices, as there’s a risk that an issue like this could render your device inoperable.This is the first major bug we’ve seen in watchOS 26 so far. Although beta software always carries the possibility of unforeseen crashes and problematic behavior, watchOS 26 has appeared to be fairly stable since it was released to developers after Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier in June.The update brings a number of changes to Apple’s wearable, including the new Liquid Glass design, an AI-powered Workout Buddy feature for fitness fans, plus call screening and hold management, Live Translation for text messages, updates to the Smart Stack, and a bunch of other features. With any luck, they won’t also cause trouble for Apple Watch Hermès users.You might also likeDoes your Apple Watch support watchOS 26?

Amazon MGM Studios has announced the director of the next James Bond movie, and it's surprised and delighted quite a few film fans: it's Denis Villeneuve, director of some of the best sci-fi movies like the two Dune movies, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario and more.He's very pleased about it, and so are the fans. “Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007," Villeneuve says. "I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory."Bond is safe in his hands, Villeneuve says. "I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor."The reaction on r/movies has been very positive, with movie fans' only real concern being timing: Villeneuve is a very busy chap and doing a Bond means a longer delay before his next project.Comment from r/moviesWhat are people saying about Villeneuve directing the next Bond movie?The movie fan reaction tends to use the same two words: "holy shit". And it's meant as a compliment."Dude just became a master filmmaker under the radar by making one awesome movie after the other," zerg1980 says. "Can’t wait to see what he does with Bond, his instincts are great and he’s already knocked two different IP franchises out of the park.""Welllllll shiiiiiiit," wazula23 says. "If there was ONE name that would get me interested, it's this." Intrepid_buy_4083 agrees. "Denis has one of the best filmographies in the game. This might end up being the best Bond of all time. Cast Benicio Del Toro as the Bond Villain."Comment from r/movies"Can't believe I'm excited for a Bond film again," says BananaProne, while GamingTaterTot says "I trust this man, that’s for sure. And it must be so cool to be a part of something you grew up loving - [it] reminds me of Peter Capaldi getting to be the Doctor." That led alexgndl to make a suggestion that I wholeheartedly agree with: "Hear me out, we cast Capaldi as James Bond in this movie."While we wait for more news about a new Bond movie, you can stream the entire James Bond collection on MGM+, meaning all 25 movies are available in one place.You may also enjoyHow to watch the James Bond movies in order007 First Light: everything we know so farEvery Daniel Craig James Bond movie ranked, from worst to best
