I think it is your interest that counts most. PhD is a big commitment, and if you are not interested in your topic, you'll struggle a lot. Regarding the latest topics, I would suggest you to consult your professors. They are the experts, so they will know a lot more. Then research the topics suggested by them and select the one that interests you most.
