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 question for everyone who advocates this….. did this type of test help Einstein create the most important equation of the 20th and 21st centuries??? No it did not. He was genuinely curious about light and time. He did much of his seminal thinking during his work as a patent clerk. He wasn't studying for 12 hours a day, he had to think differently about space and time..to step outside so to speak. Same thing with Quantum Physics..which is even more bizarre.

The education system really destroys a lots of souls, since they have to go through this exam and most of them ends up working in a 9-5 job. It just sad to be honest

There's lots of comments…negating the testing culture…the competition..the pressure…but i think although this can be stressful and lead you to measuring your self worth with something as singular as an exam, which is admittedly not the best for your mental health, it can teach you a lot of things too, about yourself and about life, as an asian, I had to go through this system too, and although I remember it as one of the most intense periods of my life, i could also say that it taught me the most about myself, it is when u experience that pressure to perform and those expectations and ultimately giving the exam, that you learn the power of willpower, the importance of consistency and time, and how far you can truely push yourself, this experience helped me learn the most about myself, what throws me off, what draws me, how I think, and how I can use that to help society, ultimately, funnily enough it helped me realize that i am so much more, than a grade on an exam 🙂
