Amid rising geopolitical tensions, many Chinese tech companies find themselves recalibrating their overseas pursuits, often avoiding any reference to their origins. A bold startup called DP Technology stands out from the crowd. Working to apply artificial intelligence to molecular simulations, DP, short for “Deep Potential,” believes it will pave the way for the global expansion of the unifying power of “scientific research for humanity.” Founded in 2018, with renowned mathematician Weinan E as an advisor, DP provides a set of tools for carrying out scientific computation, a process in which “computer simulations of mathematical models play an indispensable role in…

Has it only been a year since we started to believe that artificial intelligence could actually save us from trouble and consign us to a life of idleness like George and Jane Jetson? It’s only been a year since we started worrying about AI coming into our jobs, our spouses’ jobs, our kids’ jobs, and everyone else’s jobs except the CEO of OpenAI. Wait. Even that job wasn’t safe! Those who oppose artificial intelligence look stupid One of the biggest casualties of ChatGPT’s rise has been the arrogant attitude of hard-core, logic-loving professors who say AI will never come. One…

Following antitrust objections to Google in Germany this summer over its bundling of services, including Google Maps, through its Android-based in-car infotainment system software known as Google Automotive Services (GAS), the tech giant sought to unbundle some services and resolve regulatory interference. Removing contractual restrictions imposed on vehicle manufacturers for the purpose of Google’s proposed solutions will be given a market test to carmakers by the German competition regulator before deciding whether they solve the identified problems. In June, the country’s Federal Cartel Office (FCO) sent the tech giant a statement of objections over how it operated GAS; He particularly…

Josh Payne, the company’s CEO, shared that Arkon Energy, a data center infrastructure company, has completed a $110 million private financing round to expand its operations. The company launched in 2021 and started with a 5-megawatt facility in Australia. It has since grown to more than 130 megawatts and has spread to other countries and regions such as the United States and Europe. “These sites appeal to both bitcoin miners and artificial intelligence (or) machine learning customers with very high power computing demands,” Payne said. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 1 megawatt can power 400 to 900 homes per…

Over the last few years, countless people in the field of robotics have been asked “what’s next after warehouse/reception?” I asked. The already popular category has heated up as online shopping went from convenience to necessity during the pandemic. Amazon has led the space with on-premises systems for over a decade, while companies like Locus, 6 River Systems, and Fetch have formed partnerships with top retailers. But “what next?” Asking ‘does not in any way mean that the time for satisfaction in the limelight is over. Despite some investment slowdowns due to the economy, this is a huge and growing…

This is the second in a two-part series on 2023. Mary Ann and Alex called on two of our colleagues to help us chat about some of the biggest events of the year. Here’s what we encountered! The decline and fall of SVB: A lot has happened since the chaos at Silicon Valley Bank unfolded earlier this year, but the sudden and shocking collapse of what was essentially the family tech bank has made waves across the global tech landscape. Startups were impacted, public companies were impacted, and some startups actually got a boost! Chaos at OpenAI: Another period of…

A few years ago, Karine Mellata and Michael Lin met while working on Apple’s fraud engineering and algorithmic risk team. Both engineers, Mellata and Lin, were involved in helping solve online abuse problems, including spam, botting, account security, and developer fraud, for Apple’s growing customer base. Despite efforts to develop new models to keep pace with evolving patterns of exploitation, Mellata and Lin felt left behind and were stuck rebuilding key elements of their trust and security infrastructure. “As regulations place greater scrutiny on teams to centralize ad-hoc trust and security responses, we see a real opportunity for us to…

Part of Intel’s Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” launch also included new features coming to Unison, Intel’s cross-platform sharing and collaboration software utility that lets you connect your phone and computer. For a hardware company, the continued development of the Unison app is a bit surprising. Intel parlayed its Screenovate acquisition into Unison in 2022 and began making it a premium feature for its Evo brand of laptops and desktops. While Microsoft’s Phone Link still offers a richer experience for sending content between computers, phones, and tablets, Unison does something Phone Link doesn’t: talk to iPhones. Microsoft’s Phone Link lets you…

QR codes, which are square-like barcode things you can scan with your phone for quick and easy access to a website, are sort of an evolution of the AOL keyword. They are incredibly useful and save precious seconds in hundreds of different ways and scenarios. But since the code is basically just a visualized web address, you’ll need to be careful about which ones you scan and activate. That’s according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s latest consumer alert. The FTC’s warning blog post says scammers are actively using fake and malicious QR codes; Fake in the sense that they…

So far, Microsoft has shown that AI lives in the cloud. AMD, Intel and Qualcomm want AI to live on the PC powered by their processors. Does this lead to potential conflict? Apparently not. At AMD’s “Emerging AI” presentation, where the company launched its Ryzen 8040 AI-powered mobile processor family, Microsoft’s Windows executive said cloud AI and local AI can coexist. This is not a trivial matter. Microsoft not only provides licenses for millions of Windows machines, but also sells Microsoft 365 subscriptions to even more: 76 million consumer subscribers as of the current third calendar quarter of 2023, with…
