Beyond DeepSeek: 3 critical questions for the future of AI

The year 2025 started with a shockwave for the AI community. Launched by a relatively obscure Chinese startup, DeepSeek not only challenged the rules of the AI game by sending NVIDIA's stock plummeting 17% in one day and becoming the most-downloaded app on the App Store and Play Store, but also showed the persisting security problems by accidentally exposing its database and leaking sensitive data including chat histories, API keys, and backend operational details.

Business owners are optimistic about 2025. Do staff feel the same?

After a few years of turmoil for businesses and individuals alike, the world is finally starting to look a little more stable. And business owners feel that way, too; in our 2025 survey, an overwhelming 96% of business owners said they felt optimistic about their business succeeding in 2025. By contrast, just 77% said the same the previous year. This is likely due to the formation of a new government, decreased stress, and feeling more prepared to embrace AI.

Why SMBs should think big about AI investments in 2025

Securing talent, making strategic investments, and fostering long-term growth remain key hurdles for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), in part due to limited financial resources. With fewer long-term lending options available, many SMBs are left relying on short-term credit to manage essential expenses. A recent survey underscored this challenge, revealing that a third (33%) of UK small businesses had placed over 25% of their monthly expenses on credit cards over the past year.
