In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned from a niche technical field to a cornerstone of innovation across numerous industries. This shift has created urgency among regulatory bodies, particularly within the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), to collaborate and establish a coherent framework for governing AI technologies. The seminar conducted
In a significant move to safeguard the interests of young digital content creators, California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed two groundbreaking laws aimed at ensuring that minors who gain fame through social media receive fair compensation. This legislation marks a crucial update to existing protections initially crafted nearly 80 years ago for child actors in
Rare-earth elements (REEs) play a fundamental role in the modern technological landscape. Industries, particularly those involved in green technology, rely heavily on these materials, with neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy) being two of the most sought-after. These elements are crucial for the production of high-performance magnets used in electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and various
In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) permeates various aspects of society, its potential applications in counterterrorism efforts have begun to emerge. The integration of AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, marks a transformative shift in how law enforcement and researchers analyze terrorism-related communications. A recent study, titled “A cyberterrorist behind the keyboard: An automated text
Transcranial focused ultrasound (TFUS) is emerging as a groundbreaking, non-invasive method to target and stimulate specific regions of the brain using high-frequency sound waves. This innovative approach shows promise in treating various neurological disorders, particularly drug-resistant epilepsy and conditions characterized by recurrent tremors. Researchers from institutions such as Sungkyunkwan University, the Institute for Basic Science,
Natural disasters often bring a host of challenges, one of which is the safety of electric vehicles (EVs) in the wake of storms like Hurricane Helene. As storms become increasingly intense and frequent due to climate change, understanding how to protect electric vehicles during such events is paramount for homeowners, state officials, and automakers alike.
In 2016, a transformative player in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape emerged from a simple application submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). OpenAI, a scientific research organization established in Delaware and headquartered in Mountain View, California, sought tax-exempt status, advocating for the advancement of digital intelligence for the collective good, devoid of the constraints
The ongoing labor dispute at Boeing has reached a critical juncture, with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announcing that negotiations have collapsed despite earlier hopes for reconciliation. This breakdown follows a massive strike involving around 33,000 employees in the Pacific Northwest, who initiated their walkout on September 13. Their action came
In the world of robotics, the quest for adaptability and safety has led researchers to explore innovative solutions beyond traditional rigid mechanisms. One such advancement is the development of fabric-based soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs), which are distinguished by their ability to deform and move in response to applied pressure. These breakthroughs are crucial to the
