AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, shaping industries, economies, and regulatory landscapes. To help you stay ahead, we've launched 'Behind the Prompt', a monthly newsletter offering insights into AI trends and what they mean for businesses, policymakers, and the legal world. In our first edition, we explore how global tensions are influencing AI innovation, why open-source models may not be the threat some expect, and how shifting regulatory approaches are impacting the industry. We also take a look at the infrastructure challenges AI presents and the ongoing debate around AI safety. Want to know what’s really happening behind the prompt?
