Google hasn’t said it wants to kill the web, of course. Some of you might be asking, “What the heck are you smoking!?” that I’d even entertain such a question. After all, the company has built its core business around the web. But if you take a closer look at its recent actions, you might

High computational performance with low energy consumption. These words now define Apple’s entire ecosystem, an advantage that will only grow as Apple sets the scene for the first M5 Macs, even while preparing 2nm and soon 1.4nm Mac chips. This fast-paced evolution means Apple still hasn’t hit the chip development glass ceiling, and even when it does, the company has

Digital sovereignty has been an ongoing concern for European organizations that use cloud computing services but want to retain control over their data and infrastructure. Recent geopolitical and trade tensions have only intensified those concerns, prompting European cloud customers to reassess their investments in US-owned cloud providers. Nextcloud, a German productivity and collaboration software vendor,

Cisco unveiled several AI agents meant to simplify collaboration in its Webex suite at its WebexOne event on Tuesday. The aim is to automate some of the tasks involved in work meetings via the Cisco AI assistant. “We’re squarely in the next era of AI, moving from this notion of chatbots that intelligently answer our

The Austrian Armed Forces are discontinuing the use of Microsoft Office in favor of the open-source office software LibreOffice, Heise reports. The decision covers around 16,000 workstations and is motivated by the desire for technical independence and secure data processing within its own infrastructure. Planning for the move began back in 2020 when it became

The first kick at the AI legislative can in California may have failed, but a new iteration of it succeeded with the signing into law on Monday of Senate Bill 53 (SB 53), The Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (TFIA), by the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom. California, he said in a statement, has proven

Adopting AI at scale can be difficult. Enterprises around the world are discovering the pace of AI deployment is frustratingly slow as they face implementation, integration, and customisation challenges. Generative AI is undoubtedly powerful, but it can be complex, particularly for businesses starting from scratch. To help organisations overcome the hurdles associated with AI adoption,

Walking into Huawei’s Shanghai Acoustics R&D Centre, I expected a standard facility tour. What I encountered instead was a comprehensive automotive sound engineering operation that challenges the established order of in-car audio systems. The facility, which Huawei has developed since beginning serious audio research investments in 2012, houses three distinct testing environments: a fully anechoic

As more companies in Asia Pacific adopt artificial intelligence to boost their operations, the pressure on data centres is growing fast. Traditional facilities, built for earlier generations of computing, are struggling to keep up with the heavy energy use and cooling demands of modern AI systems. By 2030, GPU-driven workloads could push rack power densities

AI is the cream of the crop in today’s tech field, with industries relying on generative AI to improve operations and boost productivity. One sector that using AI with measurable results is agriculture, with vegetable seed companies harnessing the technology to identify the best vegetable varieties out of thousands of options. This facility can help
