  • Hello and welcome to the Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm Rosie Blau.

  • And I'm Jason Palmer.

  • Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • In Austria's most recent election, the far-right party got the largest share of the votes.

  • That's left the other parties in an unusual three-way coalition.

  • Our correspondent meets the accidental chancellor.

  • And tired of all those overblown beach resorts in places like Florida and Spain?

  • Good news travelers, glamorous new accommodations await you in North Korea.

  • Our correspondent explains the motives behind a curious tourism push.

  • But first...

  • Remember that sound?

  • The internet has become a bit more user-friendly since the days of dial-up.

  • Now it's a constant presence in our pocket, an inescapable part of everyday life.

  • Though connection speeds are faster than they once were.

  • The way we navigate the internet has barely altered.

  • Use a search engine to get where we want to go.

  • But now something is rapidly changing how we interact with the web.

  • Artificial intelligence.

  • AI is really transforming the way that people find information on the web.
