What would our cities look like without Uber and the ride-sharing competitors that followed?

One of my family members has a vanity license plate that reads “4THEFUTR.” It adorns their electric vehicle —and might strike some as excessively boastful. Applauding our own actions can be perfectly fine, but is there anything morally praiseworthy about driving an electric vehicle (EV)? Many would say yes, others aren’t so sure since driving EVs might be environmentally neutral or even harmful when both manufacturing and production are considered... Read more ›

I sometimes fantasize about hanging an enormous painted portrait of yours truly on my bedroom wall. Visitors would be forced to genuflect before the picture and leave a gift beneath it as a token of respect. Unfortunately, I have neither the money to buy artworks nor the skills to paint one myself. But those barriers will no longer stop me from fulfilling my dream. A team of researchers has developed... Read more ›

A recent keynote address by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang conference has provoked some wild reactions. A company blog post convinced many observers that the entire presentation was computer-generated. Nvidia has now updated the blog post to clarify that the CGI Huang spoke for only 14 seconds of the 108-minute keynote. The difference between the fake and real parts is pretty clear to my eyes. You can judge it for yourself... Read more ›

There’s been a lot of bellyaching about Apple recently. Too much if you ask me. So what if Apple plans to scan your phone for the hash of child sexual abuse material? Why do you care? You a nonce or something? My question is this: why stop there with opening up its encryption system? I’ve got nothing to hide. While you’re scanning through all my photos, Apple, why don’t you...

Last year, according to a United Nations report published in March, Libyan government forces hunted down rebel forces using “lethal autonomous weapons systems” that were “programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition”. The deadly drones were Turkish-made quadcopters about the size of a dinner plate, capable of delivering a warhead weighing a kilogram or so. Artificial intelligence researchers like me have been warning... Read more ›

One of the key challenges of machine learning is the need for large amounts of data. Gathering training datasets for machine learning models poses privacy, security, and processing risks that organizations would rather avoid. One technique that can help address some of these challenges is “federated learning.” By distributing the training of models across user devices, federated learning makes it possible to take advantage of machine learning while minimizing the...

I still think the Pixel 5 takes some of the best photos of any smartphone, but that’s no thanks to the actual camera hardware. While competitors have moved on to massive camera sensors that strain the limits of what you can reasonably fit in a smartphone, Google hasn’t significantly enlarged the camera sensor since the original. In fact, the Pixel 5 has the same exact Sony IMX363 primary camera sensor... Read more ›
