Neuralink’s innovative N1 brain-computer interface (BCI) is making waves in the field of neuroscience and technology, offering the potential for paralyzed individuals to control devices simply through mental concentration. However, as the company progresses with its PRIME study, ethical concerns have surfaced, bringing attention to issues of transparency, safety, and societal impact. One key point of contention is the level of transparency provided by Neuralink. The scarcity of information about the implant, apart from a recruitment brochure and Elon Musk’s social media announcements, has drawn criticism from the scientific community. Concerns regarding the lack of registration on platforms like ClinicalTrials.gov…

Artificial intelligence is stepping up its game with a newfound ability to remember past conversations, marking a significant shift in the landscape of AI chatbots. Both ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini AI are embracing this memory feature, albeit with different approaches. ChatGPT, in a recent test phase, now allows users to opt for memory retention, making interactions more personalized and streamlined. OpenAI acknowledges the potential benefits for individual users and highlights the significant impact on enterprise users, where the chatbot’s memory can enhance tasks like drafting blog posts and streamline coding processes. While ChatGPT’s memory is designed to evolve with user…

General Motors is significantly expanding the reach of its “Super Cruise” semi-automated driving system, incorporating approximately 350,000 miles (563,000 kilometers) of roadways in the U.S. and Canada. This expansion nearly doubles the system’s coverage, encompassing a variety of road types, including limited-access divided highways and two-lane roads connecting cities and towns. Unlike some competing systems, GM asserts that Super Cruise is ready to navigate roads with intersections and crossing traffic, offering drivers an advanced level of assistance. Super Cruise allows drivers to momentarily take their hands off the steering wheel, but they must remain vigilant and be prepared to intervene…

In a significant move, the European Union is extending the reach of its pioneering Digital Services Act (DSA) to encompass nearly all online platforms operating within the 27-nation bloc. Initially enforced on major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Amazon, and Wikipedia, the DSA imposes stringent requirements to combat toxic social media content, counterfeit products, and ads directed at children. The newly expanded rules now apply to a wide array of online platforms, marketplaces, and intermediaries, except for the smallest businesses with fewer than 50 employees and annual revenue below 10 million euros ($11 million). This expansion means that thousands more…

In an era where our daily lives rely heavily on a multitude of Earth-orbiting satellites, recent reports hint at Russia’s alleged efforts to develop a space-based, nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapon, casting a shadow over the stability of crucial satellite infrastructure. House Intelligence chairman Mike Turner’s revelation of a “serious national security threat” and subsequent confirmation by White House spokesperson John Kirby have ignited anxieties about the potential consequences of such advancements. Despite reassurances that the reported capability is not currently active, concerns linger over the potential disruptions such a weapon could cause. While the Kremlin dismisses these reports as a “malicious…

Are you stuck in an endless loop of swipes with no date in sight? A proposed class-action lawsuit against Match Group, filed on Valentine’s Day, alleges that dating apps like Tinder and Hinge are intentionally designed with addictive features, fostering “compulsive” use. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Northern District of California, contends that Match deliberately incorporates game-like elements that create a “perpetual pay-to-play loop,” prioritizing profit over the promised goal of helping users find meaningful relationships. According to the lawsuit, this design strategy transforms users into “addicts” who continuously purchase increasingly expensive subscriptions, enticed by special features…

Meta’s AI researchers have introduced a groundbreaking model, V-JEPA (Video Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture), challenging the conventional training methods of large language models (LLMs). Departing from the standard practice of training on text inputs, V-JEPA takes a revolutionary approach by learning from video content. Typically, LLMs learn from masked sentences or phrases, filling in the blanks to develop a basic understanding of the world. Yann LeCun, leading Meta’s FAIR (Foundational AI Research) group, proposed that applying a similar masking technique to video footage could accelerate the learning process, aligning more closely with human learning patterns. V-JEPA, unlike generative models, doesn’t…
