The automotive industry is shifting gears, accelerating into the future as new technologies push the boundaries of efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
The next phase is already here—the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data within every facet of the industry. From the factory floor to the driving experience itself, AI and big data are fuelling safer, more efficient, and more intelligent vehicles, as well as better manufacturing and maintenance processes
You could argue that generative AI has had a pretty negative marketing campaign from its nascent introduction into the world order to where we are today. From heretic articles bemoaning the top jobs that will be replaced, to hastily arranged committees of the titans of tech defining our AI future, to the culture heralded CEO of AI (Sam Altman) being ousted and then re-ordained, to the Musk-ian battles for AI invasive supremacy, and to no doubt a year of election deepfakes.

Reddit’s initial public offering is getting closer, as evidenced by the company’s latest filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has revealed new details about what is sure to be one of the most-watched IPOs of the year. The new filing includes the number of shares that will be made available and their expected price range, among other insights. Reddit had previously announced its stock ticker (RDDT) and underwriters in an earlier filing.

“You get what you pay for.”
It’s generally not hard to argue with this quote, but every now and again, you’ll come across some freebies in life that truly punch far above their weight. Such is the case with these five free Windows apps—each excellent in its own right, and with an irresistible price tag to match.

Last year, Mastercard and the tech platform provider Fabrick announced an expanded strategic partnership to develop embedded-finance solutions for businesses across Europe. The deal will enable companies to integrate financial services directly into their products through application protocol interfaces (APIs), allowing them to provide payment, banking, and insurance services without the need to build their own proprietary financial infrastructure.
The embedded-finance use cases ena
While artificial intelligence made headlines with ChatGPT, behind the scenes, the technology has quietly pervaded everyday life — screening job resumes, rental apartment applications, and even determining medical care in some cases.
While a number of AI systems have been found to discriminate, tipping the scales in favor of certain races, genders or incomes, there’s scant government oversight.
Lawmakers in at least seven states are taking big legislative swin
Jack Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, says the First Amendment gives him the right to publish publicly available information about the flight paths of private jets owned by the rich and famous—including Taylor Swift.
Swift’s legal team—and many of her fans—say that Sweeney posting the comings and goings of the singer’s private plane on social media is technological stalking.
Sweeney also tracks the private planes ow
Nations around the world are rapidly developing high-energy laser weapons for military missions on land and sea, and in the air and space. Visions of swarms of small, inexpensive drones filling the skies or skimming across the waves are motivating militaries to develop and deploy laser weapons as an alternative to costly and potentially overwhelmed missile-based defenses.
Laser weapons have been a staple of science fiction since long before lasers were even invented. More recently,
There’s a Gordian knot at the heart of the AI boom in healthcare. Artificial (or depending on who you talk to, “augmented”) intelligence is already a solidly established tool in the medical system from X-ray imaging analysis to streamlining hospital billing to how the medicines your doctor might prescribe are discovered in the first place. Yet 69% of Americans staunchly oppose the idea of AI replacing doctors to diagnose disease, according to a new Salesforce survey, whil
The release of the film Oppenheimer, in July 2023, has renewed interest in the enigmatic scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life. While Oppenheimer will always be recognized as the father of the atomic bomb, his early contributions to quantum mechanics form the bedrock of modern quantum chemistry. His work still informs how scientists think about the structure of molecules today.
Early on in the film, preeminent scientific figures of the time, including Nobel laureates Werner
