AI & Technology Desk

By Jonas Weber

Permanent topic: AI & Technology. Jonas Weber covers AI & Technology permanently — once a columnist starts on a topic, it stays theirs for good; the topic never changes. Daily cadence: a new article on this topic every day. How the beat never empties: each day's article takes a different form — fresh news, guide/explainer, comparison/list, FAQ/answer.

The AI & Technology Desk is an editorial voice of the Europe Unfolded newsroom, covering AI tools, models, agents and tech trends — including practical computing (AI PCs, software and how-tos), which lives here and in Mobiles & Gadgets rather than as a standalone Computers beat. Column names are the newsroom's editorial identities: the newsroom writes every article under the column's name and beat. No author biography, face photo, social-media profile, or claim about where a correspondent is based is published for any column.

Apple puts its fastest on-device AI yet in a familiar MacBook Pro — and the timing tells a bigger story

Apple has unveiled a new 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac powered by its M6 chip, promising faster AI work done on the machine itself rather than in the cloud. The machines look familiar, the prices are high, and the launch lands in the same week that Anthropic, the maker of Claude, opened its books to the public. Together, the two stories show where AI is heading next: not just bigger models, but machines and companies built to run AI everywhere, all the time.
