Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

One of my biggest complaints about diamonds – is trying to sell them after you pay high prices- you never get your $ back

What is the point? The attraction of the stone is that it's rear. De Beers was doing good job making sure people don't make door knobs out of them, cause there are so many of it around. Now if every cashier in a supermarket would wear one day and night, it becomes useless.

Most of diamonds sold are severely overpriced. When buying $100, when selling you will get between $25 to $50 max. Even if you sell them next day, its price has depreciated to atleast half. Goes to show what a poor investment a diamond is. For that matter most coloured stones too – when you buy they are oo la la blood red ruby from Burma that will cost a fortune, when you go to sell, you get peanuts.
The rule is simple
When buying = precious stone
When selling = semi precious stone

fake at inflated prices. You won't get the same energies as you do with natures diamonds. They may look the same but for healers they will feel devoid of any connection to the earth. Am sure they will succeed as long as it is made clear they are lab grown not earth made.

It is still very expensive! Only competition will bring the prices down. Wait 20 years, they will less than a fraction of the cost.

With commercialism rearing its ugly head, the unscrupulous will be selling Lab grown diamonds as original mined diamonds from nature
at the latter's prices.

Hopefully there are companies non De Beers that can bring down the price of these.
