GitHub’s new AI tool doesn’t violate copyrights, says expert

Last week, GitHub launched a new AI-powered tool called Copilot that’s meant to help developers out by suggesting snippets of code automatically. The tool was developed in conjunction with OpenAI by training the system on publically available source code of different projects. On paper, this feels like any other AI project’s training method. But several people took to Twitter criticizing GitHub’s move and calling it a copyright violation. “I’m leaving... Read more â€ș

Tesla’s AI chief: Self-driving cars don’t need LiDAR

What is the technology stack you need to create fully autonomous vehicles? Companies and researchers are divided on the answer to that question.

Bon voyage! European cities bid adieu to sexist mobility policies

European cities are constantly making mobility greener, but there’s one issue they still haven’t tackled: making it gender-neutral. Yup, gender can be a big factor in mobility. It’s been shown that women and men have very different travel needs and patterns, but this hasn’t really been considered in mobility plans of city governments — until now. Cities in Europe now increasingly consider the gendered effects of transport policies and use... Read more â€ș

Now, the group wants $70 million in exchange for a tool to decrypt the files they’ve locked on victims’ networks. The Record’s Catalin Cimpanu reported that REvil has claimed responsibility for the attack and put... Read more â€ș

We’ll never find dark matter
 without quantum tech

Almost a century ago, Dutch astronomer Jacobus Kapteyn first proposed the existence of dark matter. He’d been studying the motion of stars in galaxies — a galaxy can be described, in rough terms, as a heap of stars, gas and dust rotating around a common center — and noticed that something was off. The stars in the outer layers of the galaxy were rotating much too fast to conform with... Read more â€ș

A decade since ‘the year of the hacktivist’, online protests look set to return

Many of us vaguely remember the word “hacktivism” from a decade ago. This was a time before serious ransomware attacks dominated current cybersecurity concerns, when certain hacking techniques were being used to send political messages to governmental and corporate entities. Hacktivism has since retreated as a form of protest, in part due to the prosecution of prominent hacktivists, sometimes with what appear to be disproportionately severe sentences. But with the...

Fake science is getting faker — thanks, AI

The practice of science involves trying to find things out about the world by using rigid logic and testing every assumption. Researchers then write up any important findings in papers and submit them for possible publication. After a peer-review process, in which other scientists check that the research is sound, journals publish papers for public consumption. You might therefore reasonably believe that published papers are quite reliable and meet high-quality... Read more â€ș
