AI for Science: Breaking the boundaries of what science can achieve - 理化学研究所

TikTok's latest viral wisdom is backed by hard data, and it's making people rethink their communication habits. We live in a world of chronic oversharing. We post everything, from the routes we run (including screenshots as proof of all that hard work), to the pale-green iced matcha latte sitting at our desks or a present from a boyfriend (who will be tagged prominently, not secretly off screen). Who knows when, but our brains became wired for sharing: to record, to curate, and to post every second of our lives, then consume that of others to a disturbing degree. So, here's a radical idea: when it comes to goals and plans, try keeping them to yourself. It could be the key to making them a reality. That's the message behind TikTok's massively popular "Move in Silence" trend, where creators like @noemoneyyy have cracked the contradictory code to success: Instead of broadcasting every big idea or project that runs through your head, if you actually want it to come to fruition, keep your plans to yourself until they're executed. And it's not just a trend; surprisingly, science also supports this muted approach.

The 2026 edition of Mipcom in Cannes will bring together executives, creators, technology companies, investors and media businesses to explore how premium television, artificial intelligence, creator economies and vertical content are reshaping the global entertainment landscape. Señal News spoke with Lucy Smith, Director of Mipcom Cannes and MIPJunior, to describe how these events aim to reinforce its position as the leading international marketplace for television and entertainment. How will Mipcom 2026 approach the transformation of the media business? “The boundaries of the entertainment business are changing, and Mipcom Cannes is changing with them. Distribution and co-production remain at the heart of the market, but studios and broadcasters are increasingly working alongside creators, platforms, brands and technology companies. Our role is to bring those businesses together and help them find new ways to develop, finance and distribute content internationally. You can see that in this year’s program, ‘From Story to Scale’. Banijay Entertainment’s Jeff Zucker and Marco Bassetti will discuss the group’s next phase of growth.
