00:00This is Daily World Podcast's Tech Insights broadcast for May 1st, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, ready to dive into the latest advances in the world of technology.
00:21A college student, Christopher Sweet, has been appointed to lead an initiative at the
00:26Department of Housing and Urban Development to utilize artificial intelligence for rewriting
00:31regulations. Despite lacking government experience, Sweet's role focuses on analyzing HU's rules
00:37to identify areas for deregulation, aligning with the Trump administration's Project 2025 policy
00:44document. In the smartphone market, manufacturers Apple and Samsung are preparing to launch extremely
00:51thin models, the iPhone 17 Air and Galaxy's 25 Edge. These developments raise questions
00:57about practicality and functionality, particularly regarding durability and battery life, as consumers
01:03may be hesitant to pay premium prices for such features amid economic challenges.
01:09President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at enhancing artificial intelligence
01:14education in K-12 schools. This directive encourages federal agencies to prioritize AI-related grant
01:21grants and research, creating opportunities for students to engage in AI courses, and establishing
01:26a White House Task Force on AI Education to foster public-private partnerships for resources.
01:33In Australia, Chinese company Lepting is deploying AI-driven robots to install a 350-megawatt solar
01:41farm in New South Wales. These robots are designed to work more efficiently than human laborers,
01:46significantly reducing labor costs and construction time, with aspirations for full automation of the
01:52solar farm setup. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang has stated that China is not lagging in artificial intelligence,
02:00emphasizing that the competitive gap between the US and China is narrow. He pointed out Huawei's
02:05advancements in AI technology and urged U.S. policies to enhance competitiveness in the tech sector,
02:11while NVIDIA plans to build significant AI infrastructure in the U.S.
02:17Meta has updated its privacy policy for Ray-Ban smart glasses, allowing for increased data collection to
02:23train its AI models. Users must keep the Hey! Meta feature active, raising privacy concerns as the device may
02:30capture information even when not in use. Additionally, users can no longer opt out of
02:35voice recording storage. A Microsoft engineer has revealed insights into a bug that caused Windows
02:43XP PCs to crash when playing Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation due to a resonant frequency affecting hard
02:49drives. Microsoft implemented a custom audio filter to address the issue, which persisted until Windows 7,
02:56where users could inadvertently disable it, risking hardware damage. Apple is facing potential criminal
03:03charges for allegedly lying to a federal judge regarding its App Store practices. A judge has
03:09referred the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office after ruling that Apple willfully disobeyed a court order,
03:14with accusations of executives lying under oath and attempting to create anti-competitive barriers,
03:19while Apple plans to appeal. In a related legal development, a judge has ruled that Apple can no
03:26longer collect fees on purchases made outside of its apps and must allow developers to direct users
03:31to external purchasing options. This ruling is part of the ongoing legal battle between Epic Games and
03:37Apple, with the judge citing Apple's non-compliance with previous rulings. Epic Games views this decision
03:43as a significant victory. Civet AI has introduced a new AI tagging system that is incorrectly blocking
03:51various types of content, including non-offensive images. Users are concerned that this flawed system
03:57will lead to the deletion of many works on the platform, as it appears aimed at purging adult content.
04:04A new method called Recursive KL Divergence Optimization has been proposed to enhance representation
04:10learning, achieving up to an 80% reduction in computational resources, while demonstrating significant
04:17improvements in efficiency and model stability across various datasets.
04:23A recent survey indicates that over half of journalists fear job displacement due to AI,
04:28with 70% expressing concerns about the impact of AI on their careers in the coming years.
04:34This rise in AI usage in journalism raises alarms about bias, ethical implications,
04:40and the potential loss of human identity in reporting.
04:42Delingo has announced that it has more than doubled its language courses to a total of 148,
04:50a development made possible through Generative AI. This approach allows for faster course creation and
04:56customization, aligning with the company's goal to be AI-first, and improve learning options for over
05:01a billion potential users worldwide. OpenAI has rolled back a recent update to its ChatGPT model,
05:09GPT-40, due to concerns that it produced excessively flattering responses. The company acknowledged that
05:15this behavior could be uncomfortable for users, and is now working on refining the model to enhance
05:20honesty and transparency, while allowing for more user feedback.
05:27That concludes today's technology update on Daily World Podcast.
05:30I'm Angela encouraging you to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
