In artificial intelligence, 2025 marked a decisive shift. Systems once confined to research labs and prototypes began to appear as everyday tools. At the center of this transition was the rise of AI agents—AI systems that can use other software tools and act on their own.In artificial intelligence, 2025 marked a decisive shift.

Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed an AI system that recognizes construction activities at both the individual and crew levels using ordinary site videos. The approach reveals how teamwork shapes productivity and provides a foundation for future human–robot collaboration on construction sites.Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed an AI system that recognizes construction activities at both the individual and crew levels using ordinary site videos.

Over the course of 2025, deepfakes improved dramatically. AI-generated faces, voices and full-body performances that mimic real people increased in quality far beyond what even many experts expected would be the case just a few years ago. They were also increasingly used to deceive people.Over the course of 2025, deepfakes improved dramatically.

In recent years, power consumption by machine learning technologies, represented by deep learning and generative artificial intelligence (AI), has increased exponentially, creating a serious social challenge. To address this problem, demand is growing for AI devices with low power consumption and high computational performance.In recent years, power consumption by machine learning technologies, represented by deep learning and generative artificial intelligence (AI), has increased exponentially, creating a serious social challenge.

These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in elementary school, even state-of-the-art systems fail.
