Robotics researcher Tomáš Krajník shares insights into his latest project which aims to combat the mass extinction of bees through the implementation of microrobots in hives. How did the bees react to the robotic inhabitants of the hive? Why use machine learning for conservation? And how do beekeepers themselves approach the problem? Find out in the interview!

Before Christmas, so-called trilogue negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission culminated in a preliminary agreement on a regulation known as the Artificial Intelligence Act ("Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence"). A few more formal steps will be needed, but the regulation will be in force before the European Parliament elections in June 2024. And after transitional periods (from 6 to 36 months, depending on the risks), it will come into effect.

In response to a staggering 75% decline in the global biomass of flying insects, including critical honeybee populations, innovative solutions are emerging. European Union-funded projects, Hiveopolis and RoboRoyale, are at the forefront, adopting a collaborative approach to address this ecological crisis.

When Computer Science and Criminology meet, an exciting cybercrime investigation is born. Our security researchers uncovered an Android banking botnet and explored the world of underground attackers, informal online forums, and the economy of encrypting malware-as-a-service. Read about their 5-year-long investigation in an extensive blog post.
