In response to criticism from the Brazilian government over its new privacy policy, Meta Platforms has stopped using generative artificial intelligence techniques in Brazil. With a population of more than 200 million, Brazil is an essential market for Meta, especially for platforms like WhatsApp, which has a sizable user base. Meta changed its privacy policy to comply with Brazilian rules after the National Data Protection Authority ANPD suspended it for utilising personal data to train generative AI systems. Meta decided to stop these tools to ease worries about using AI and protecting personal data in Brazil. This decision is in line with continuing conversations between Meta and the ANPD. Read More..

According to a story by The Information, Chinese enterprises can access Nvidias AI processors through data centre services located outside of China, thanks to the cloud divisions of Google and Microsoft. Based on security considerations, this occurs concurrently with the Biden administrations restrictions on Chinas access to American technology for artificial intelligence. The administration is considering making cloud providers confirm whether foreign firms train AI models in U.S.based data centres. Through foreign data centres, Microsoft provides server rentals—which include Nvidias A100 and H100 chips—to Chinese customers. Similarly, Google guarantees compliance with U.S. export laws by allowing Chinese users to utilise servers outside of mainland China. Reuters contacted the Department of Commerce and the corporations, but none responded. Read More..

Startups in Ukraine, such as Swarmer, are developing drone technology with AI to improve combat capabilities against Russia. These AI algorithms enable drones to work in networked groups through features like swarm coordination, terrain mapping, and visual identification. While still in development, Swarmers Styx system will be able to automatically handle swarms of drones, significantly increasing operational capacity and shielding pilots from frontline threats. With significantly higher potential attack rates, AI integration seeks to defeat Russian signal jamming. The development centres on affordability, utilising lowcost devices such as Raspberry Pi to implement AI systems in large quantities. Notwithstanding moral dilemmas and human supervision requirements, these developments provide an essential technological advantage in contemporary combat. Read More..

Via fictitious traffic echallan messages on WhatsApp, CloudSEK has uncovered a technical Android malware operation that targets consumers in India. Scammers trick victims into using malware programs that take personal data and enable financial theft, and scammers pose as Parivahan Sewa or Karnataka Police. Fraudulent transactions of more than Rs. 16 lakhs have been triggered by the Wromba family virus, which has infected over 4,400 machines. The virus poses as genuine software and asks for many rights, including access to contacts and SMS, to propagate itself over WhatsApp. Attackers can buy and use gift cards covertly since they intercept OTPs. Studies by CloudSEK identified Vietnam as the attackers home country. Limiting app permissions, installing apps exclusively from reliable sources like the Google Play Store, and using reliable antivirus software are some tips that users should follow. Read More..

To gain 20% of the British and Irish EV fastcharging market, TotalEnergies and UK electricity company SSE announced the formation of a joint venture called Source. During the next five years, the 50/50 collaboration intends to install up to 3,000 fastcharge points fueled by renewable energy from both businesses. An EV battery may be fully charged in thirty to sixty minutes with these 150 kW direct current stations. It will cost about 300 million euros to implement these charging stations. At Seagreen, Scotlands largest offshore wind farm, TotalEnergies and SSE already work together. SSEs understanding of the electrical infrastructure and Totals experience in charging point management are combined in this project. Major oil companies like BP and Shell are also growing their EV charging operations in the United Kingdom. Read More..

With just a few seconds of audio, Microsofts sophisticated texttospeech algorithm VALLE 2 can accurately replicate human speech. With this breakthrough, TTS technology has advanced significantly and reached "human parity" regarding speaker likeness, naturalness, and voice robustness. Its realism and efficiency are enhanced by two features "Grouped Code Modelling" and "Repetition Aware Sampling." Despite its promise in several industries, Microsoft has chosen to keep VALLE 2 under wraps because of worries about abuse, including voice identification spoofing and impersonations. VALLE 2, a research project, wont be included in goods or made available to the general public. Microsofts choice indicates the rising ethical concerns in AI research and development. Read More..
