Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we look into bias in AI-based recruitment tools, find out about a new image dataset for ethical AI benchmarking, dig into human-robot interactions and social robotics, and look back on another busy year in the world of AI. We've been meeting some of the PhD students that were selected to take part in the Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2025) . In the second interview of the series, we caught up with Frida Hartman to find out how her PhD is going so far, and plans for the next steps in her investigations. Frida, along with co-authors Mario Mirabile and Michele Dusi, was also the winner of the ECAI-2025 Diversity & Inclusion Competition, for work entitled .

Over the course of the year, we've had the pleasure of working with many talented researchers from across the globe. As 2025 draws to a close, we take a look back at some of the excellent blog posts from our contributors. This work contributes to the field of explainable AI by developing a novel neural network that can be directly transformed into logic. The authors explore the tensions between creators and AI-generated content through a survey of 459 artists.
