TikTok recently unveiled new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools designed to assist users with content creation. The new features include a virtual assistant, a video creation tool, and digital avatars, which are all powered by generative AI. In a blog post, the company demonstrated the capabilities of the new AI-powered virtual assistant, called Symphony Assistant. It functions like a chatbot and can be prompted to provide different information such as on TikTok trends or best practices. The virtual assistant is also available in several languages other than English, including German, ...

Scientists have successfully developed a new, controllable prosthetic extra thumb designed to enhance productivity. Researchers at Cambridge University say the robotic thumb can help expand the capacity of the human hand, from carrying multiple beverage glasses and shuffling playing cards to performing surgery. "We are also really excited about potential opportunities of using the thumb to enhance productivity in work settings, especially those that are relying on their hand's manual dexterity in order to accomplish their work,” said Tamar Makin, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Un...

Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in November 2022, generative AI has been a hot topic in technology discussions, gaining widespread coverage for its capabilities. But despite the hype surrounding the new artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a recent survey reveals that few people regularly use AI tools like ChatGPT. The survey, conducted by the Reuters Institute and Oxford University, included more than 12,000 individuals across six countries, including France, Denmark, and the UK, to measure attitudes towards using GenAI models. ChatGPT and Google Bard adoption remains surprisingly ...

Kenyan resident Belinda Adhiambo had to have her leg amputated when she was three years old after an accident and she still suffers from phantom pains. But in her hometown Kibera, a large impoverished neighbourhood in Nairobi, paying a doctor could mean missing a meal. "Most of these insurance covers do not cover persons with disabilities because of our diversity. We have different needs,” said Adhiambo. Now Adhiambo sells her medical data to an app and in return gets to see a doctor. She gets a credit when she gives her data to the app, which the company behind it calls virtual "Hippocratic c...

In plans aimed at revolutionising healthcare and other life sciences, Novo Holdings is investing DKK 1.4 billion (€188 million) in building a hub of start-ups focused on new technologies including quantum computing. Quantum computers, capable of making scientific calculations that would otherwise take most computers thousands of years, can potentially speed up the development of pharmaceuticals and other life sciences. Novo Holdings is the parent company of Europe's most valuable firm, Novo Nordisk, known for its weight-loss medication Wegovy and Ozempic, a diabetes drug. "Quantum technologies...

Incredible technological advancements have been made in autonomous vehicles, from the integration of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to advancements in AI and machine learning, that promise a transformative impact for the automotive industry. Yet, despite their clear benefits — greater cost-efficiency, less traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions — widespread adoption of autonomous technology remains elusive. If history is our guide, we risk repeating the same missteps with autonomous driving as with electric transportation. For a century, the technology for electric vehi...

Imagine if policymakers, businesses, and society had access to a virtual twin copy of our oceans to explore? This AI tool could simulate realistic what-if scenarios based on scientific knowledge. Would that help protect and restore our oceans by enabling better decision-making? As the EU is preparing to launch the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO), the European scientific community thinks it could be a game-changing project. "Think of artificial intelligence as a tool that helps us to predict and understand what is going on in the ocean," says Joanna Staneva, a physicist at the Helmholtz-Zentrum...

There are more than 500 undersea cables worldwide. Often connecting continents, from Europe to Australasia, they provide internet connectivity to billions of people, many of whom have no idea that they even exist. They are one of those components of our global infrastructure that is fundamental to our way of life and yet largely unappreciated. Unappreciated, that is, until the internet is disrupted. And that looks like an increasing possibility. Over the last few months, Houthi rebels in the Middle East have been alleged to have sabotaged four major communication cables, belonging to the AAE-1...

China has begun phasing out US microprocessors from government computers and servers, according to a report in the Financial Times. The move will include stopping using those from Intel and AMD, as well as Microsoft's Windows operating system, the report said. From this year onwards, government agencies above local level will have to follow new procurement guidance with criteria requiring "safe and reliable" processors and operating systems. China's semiconductor production challenges could be boon for EuropeDoing business in China getting tougher, European business group saysInstructions were...
