Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy when it comes to his compensation package. Tesla shareholders recently voted to reinstate his 10-year pay plan, valued at a staggering $44.9 billion. The plan, which rewards Musk for achieving certain milestones such as increasing Tesla’s market value, pretax income, and revenue, had previously been rejected by a

Generative AI, unlike traditional AI, has the extraordinary ability to produce innovative content such as text, video, images, and music. This revolutionary technology has the potential to think outside the box, leading to profound and far-reaching implications across all sectors of society. While discussions surrounding AI often revolve around its potential benefits and drawbacks, recent

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been playing an increasingly significant role in the development of robotics applications. Over the past few decades, the performance of AI tools such as natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision algorithms has seen significant improvements. One of the primary reasons for this progress is the exponential growth of datasets

In a recent development, Meta has decided to halt its plans to utilize personal data for training its artificial intelligence technology in Europe. This decision comes after the social media giant faced privacy complaints from a Vienna-based privacy campaign group in 11 European countries. The group, known as the European Center for Digital Rights or

The recent lawsuit filed by Justina Jong and Amina Salgado against Apple has shed light on the ongoing issue of gender pay disparity in the tech industry. The lawsuit alleges that Apple systematically underpaid more than 12,000 women in various departments, including engineering, marketing, and AppleCare. The case highlights the challenges faced by female employees

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to make significant strides in various fields, including the navigation of autonomous vehicles. Researchers have developed a technique known as Multi-View Attentive Contextualization (MvACon) that enhances the ability of AI programs to map three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images from multiple cameras. This innovation shows promise in improving the navigation and overall

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made an announcement on Tuesday stating that the company is increasing its investment in affordable housing by adding $1.4 billion to a fund established three years ago. This fund was created to support the construction and preservation of affordable housing in regions where Amazon has major corporate offices. With this new

In a world where complexity often reigns, a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) took a different approach to solving the inherent issues of solid-state batteries. Led by Professor Byoungwoo Kang and Dr. Abin Kim, the team developed a solid electrolyte with unique properties that paved the way for an ultra-thin

Italy’s competition authority has imposed a 3.5 million euro fine on Meta for a lack of transparency in its data management practices related to Instagram and Facebook accounts. The AGCM watchdog has specifically cited Meta for engaging in “unfair commercial practices” regarding the handling of user data and account suspensions. One of the key issues

Large language models (LLMs) are the backbone of many popular generative AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, which have gained widespread use and attention in recent years. However, a new study conducted by researchers at University College London reveals concerning findings about the reasoning abilities of these advanced AI models. The study, published in Royal Society

The recent research on enhancing the production of plutonium-238 (238Pu) with a new high-resolution neutronics model is a potential game-changer in various technological fields. The team of nuclear scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Nuclear Power Institute of China has reported a significant 18.81% increase in yield by implementing methods such as filter

Renewable hydrogen is projected to be a key player in reducing carbon emissions in Europe. The sourcing of renewable hydrogen from regions with cheaper renewable energy has been shown to be more cost-effective compared to local production. However, concerns about the environmental impact of transporting large quantities of hydrogen over long distances have been raised.

The aviation industry is experiencing a significant transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various operations. While the idea of replacing pilots with AI may still be a distant reality, experts in the field acknowledge the profound impact that AI is having on aviation businesses. Julie Pozzi, the head of data science and

Metal halide perovskites have gained significant attention in recent years due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties. Among these materials, tin (Sn) halide perovskites have shown great potential in fabricating p-type transistors with impressive field-effect hole mobilities. However, the development of n-type transistors based on perovskite channels has been challenging, limiting the potential for complementary logic
