00:00This is Daily World Podcast's Tech Insights broadcast for June 16, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, ready to dive into the latest advances in the world of technology.
00:21The Trump administration's AI initiative plans were leaked via a GitHub repository before it
00:27was taken down, revealing a strategy to integrate AI across federal operations.
00:32The project, led by the General Services Administration's Technology Transformation Services, aims to
00:38automate federal work and includes components like a chatbot and an API for agencies to connect
00:44with AI models from major firms.
00:47In related developments, a recent demonstration of Tesla's full self-driving mode raised safety
00:52concerns as it repeatedly failed to stop for a school bus, hitting child-sized mannequins
00:57during tests conducted by anti-Tesla organizations.
01:01This incident has prompted discussions about the readiness of fully autonomous vehicles, especially
01:06with the upcoming rollout of Tesla's CyberCab being delayed due to safety apprehensions.
01:12The Trump organization has also launched a mobile phone service called Trump Mobile, featuring
01:18a monthly plan priced at $47.45, and a smartphone set to debut in September for $499.
01:26The service includes unlimited talk, text, and data, along with additional benefits, while
01:31raising ethical concerns due to its licensing agreements and higher pricing compared to established
01:37carriers.
01:39Academics are drawing parallels between the launch of chat GPT and atomic bomb tests, suggesting
01:45that the proliferation of AI models may lead to a contamination of data quality, potentially
01:50causing AI model collapse.
01:52They advocate for the creation of clean data sources, akin to low background steel, to ensure
01:57the reliability and competitiveness of future AI systems.
02:02The rise of artificial intelligence is leading to significant job losses, particularly in white-collar
02:08positions, as companies automate roles previously held by humans.
02:12Workers are expressing concern over the impact of AI on job security, with predictions that
02:18it could eliminate half of all entry-level jobs and increase unemployment rates significantly
02:22in the coming years.
02:24Many individuals are struggling to adapt to this changing landscape, with some finding temporary
02:29work, while others face prolonged unemployment.
02:32In technological advancements, Soong Zhu, an engineer with minimal experience in 3D printing
02:39and CAD, has successfully designed and built a 3D-printed winged VTOL drone that can fly for
02:45130 miles.
02:47The project took 90 days and involved creating components from scratch, showcasing the integration
02:52of advanced battery technology and innovative design principles.
02:56New York State lawmakers have passed the RAISE Act, aimed at preventing AI models from contributing to large-scale
03:04disasters.
03:05The bill mandates transparency standards for major AI labs, and requires them to report
03:10safety incidents, with penalties for non-compliance.
03:13Advocates believe this legislation is crucial for AI safety, despite pushback from the tech industry.
03:19DARPA's Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay Program has achieved new milestones in wireless
03:26power transmission, successfully beaming 800 watts over a distance of 5.3 miles.
03:33This innovative technology aims to revolutionize power supply for military and humanitarian operations
03:39by using laser beams to deliver energy, without the need for traditional power lines.
03:44Google has introduced a feature in its search results that allows users to generate AI podcasts
03:51summarizing search results through a new audio overview experience.
03:55This feature, currently in testing, enables users to listen to a conversation between two
04:00AI voices discussing the search results, with playback options and source listings included.
04:07Finally, the FIA is considering implementing fees for companies seeking launch and re-entry licenses
04:12to support its commercial space office amid the industry's rapid growth.
04:17Proposed legislation would phase in these fees over eight years, with funds allocated to cover
04:21operational costs, as the number of commercial space operations has surged significantly in
04:26recent years.
