The U.K. government recently made the decision to cancel £1.3 billion worth of computing infrastructure projects, a move that has raised concerns about the country’s ambitions to become a world leader in artificial intelligence. This decision includes the cancellation of two major taxpayer-funded spending commitments, one worth £500 million and the other £800 million. These
The recent lawsuit filed by the United States against TikTok has stirred controversy over the app’s alleged violation of children’s privacy. The Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have accused TikTok of collecting data about children without parental permission, thus violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). According to the lawsuit, TikTok
The quest to understand the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe has been a long-standing mystery in the field of particle physics. The recent breakthrough by the BASE international research collaboration at CERN has opened up new possibilities for measuring the mass and magnetic moment of antiprotons with unprecedented accuracy. According to the
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into allegations of Nvidia abusing its market dominance in artificial intelligence chips. This investigation stems from complaints which claim that Nvidia may be engaging in anti-competitive behavior in the AI chip sector. According to reports, the DOJ has been in touch with Nvidia’s competitors, such as
The recent accusations against AI music startups Suno and Udio by major record labels raise concerns about copyright infringement and competition within the music industry. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has filed lawsuits claiming that these companies have engaged in unlicensed copying of sound recordings on a massive scale. The lawsuits seek damages
Threads, the social media platform, has recently reached a significant milestone of 200 million monthly active users. Some may argue that this growth is due to its connection with Instagram, but the fact remains that Threads has managed to engage a large number of people on its own.
