South Korea is making a bold move to invest almost $7 billion in artificial intelligence by 2027 in a bid to establish itself as a global leader in cutting-edge semiconductors. This decision was announced by President Yoon Suk Yeol, highlighting the importance of the semiconductor industry as a crucial pillar of South Korea’s export-driven economy.
A Supreme Court judge in Brazil has initiated an investigation into Elon Musk after the tech billionaire criticized the magistrate for blocking social media accounts that were suspected of spreading disinformation. Judge Alexandre de Moraes accused Musk of “criminal instrumentalization” of the platform and warned the owner of X to comply with judicial orders or
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been identified as both a problem and a potential solution in the fight against climate change. The rapid expansion of AI in our society requires massive amounts of computing power and data storage, leading to concerns about its carbon footprint. However, AI also has the potential to help us address climate
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is pushing back against a U.S. antitrust authority’s lawsuit that could potentially lead to the forced sale of Instagram and WhatsApp. The lawsuit, initiated by the Federal Trade Commission in December 2020, is centered around Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, which the FTC claims have hindered competition in
Robotic systems have traditionally been utilized in controlled indoor environments to assist with manual tasks and simple queries. However, as technology advances, there is a growing interest in deploying robotic systems in unknown and unmapped environments. These environments present unique challenges, such as obstacles that can obstruct sensors and increase the risk of collisions. One
In a groundbreaking development, a team of Korean researchers has recently unveiled a new memory device that could potentially revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence hardware. Led by Professor Shinhyun Choi from the KAIST School of Electrical Engineering, the research team has successfully created a next-generation phase change memory device with ultra-low-power consumption capabilities. This
Tesla, led by Elon Musk, reported a significant decrease in first-quarter auto sales, with a global delivery figure of 386,810, marking an 8.5 percent decline compared to the previous period. This decline is attributed to various factors, including a weak sales market in China and an apparent arson attack on power lines in Germany that
