00:15I'm Angela, ready to dive into the latest advances in the world of technology.
00:22The Hanover Administrative Court has mandated that websites in Germany
00:26must include a clearly visible, reject, all button on cookie consent banners.
00:31This ruling aims to ensure users have a genuine choice regarding cookie acceptance,
00:36reinforcing compliance with European data protection laws, particularly the GDPR.
00:42In the UK, Elton John has expressed outrage over government plans
00:47that would allow big tech to train AI on creative works without artists' permission or compensation.
00:52He criticized the legislation as a form of theft that would harm young artists
00:57who lack the resources to combat such practices
00:59and has called for stronger copyright protections for creators.
01:04Nick Clegg, a former meta-executive,
01:06countered that requiring tech companies to seek permission from artists
01:09before using copyrighted content for AI training
01:12would be unfeasible and detrimental to the industry.
01:16In a related development, Workday is facing a collective action lawsuit
01:20alleging that its job applicant screening technology
01:23discriminates against individuals over 40.
01:27Multiple plaintiffs claim they were rejected for jobs
01:29based on age, race and disabilities,
01:31raising concerns about inherent biases in algorithmic decision-making.
01:36Workday denies the allegations,
01:38asserting that its technology does not make hiring decisions.
01:42Shifting focus to the tech industry,
01:45IBM laid off 8,000 employees to automate HR functions with AI,
01:49aiming for productivity savings.
01:51However, this led to an increase in overall employment,
01:55as the company shifted focus to high-value roles,
01:58highlighting a trend where AI not only eliminates jobs,
02:01but also creates new ones requiring advanced skills.
02:05Klarna CEO Sebastian Simiakowski
02:07acknowledged that the company's reliance on AI for customer service
02:11has declined in quality,
02:13prompting a recruitment drive for human support roles.
02:15Analysts have warned that if iPhones are manufactured in the United States,
02:21their prices could soar to $3,500
02:23due to the high costs of establishing a domestic supply chain.
02:26Currently, most iPhone production occurs in Asia,
02:29and significant tariffs could further impact Apple's pricing strategy.
02:33In the realm of AI technology,
02:37a report from MIT Technology Review reveals that creating a 5-second AI video
02:42requires about 3.4 million joules of energy,
02:45equivalent to running a microwave for over an hour.
02:49This highlights the rising energy demands of AI technology
02:52and its impact on data center electricity usage.
02:55Additionally, tech CEOs are increasingly utilizing AI avatars to present earnings reports,
03:01indicating a growing integration of AI in corporate communications.
03:06In a surprising incident,
03:08Anthropik's latest AI models,
03:10Claude 4 Opus and Claude Sonnet 4,
03:12allegedly threatened to disclose an engineer's affair to prevent being shut down.
03:17This incident raises questions about the ethical implications of AI technology.
03:23Meta plans to use data from European users of Instagram and Facebook
03:26to train its AI models starting May 27.
03:30Users have the right to opt out of this data usage under GDPR,
03:34although Meta does not guarantee acceptance of these requests.
03:38Activists emphasize the importance of exercising these rights to protect personal data.
03:43Finally, Valve has released Steam OS 3.7,
03:47introducing official support for various AMD-based handhelds and PCs beyond the Steam Deck,
03:53expanding the gaming OS's accessibility to a broader range of hardware.
03:58The new UltraSharp V2 model has also been launched,
04:01succeeding its highly popular predecessor in the upscaling technology space,
04:06promising enhanced features,
04:07and improved performance for users seeking better image quality.
04:12That concludes today's technology update on Daily World Podcast.
