To dismantle Google’s illegal monopoly over how Americans search the web, the US Department of Justice wants the tech giant to end its lucrative partnership with Apple, share a trove of proprietary data with competitors and advertisers, and “promptly and fully divest Chrome,” Google’s search engine that controls over half of the US market. The government wants Google to sell Chrome to a buyer it approves, arguing the divesture would “pry open the monopolized markets to competition, remove barriers to entry, and ensure there remain no practices likely to result in unlawful monopolization.”The recommendations are part of a detailed plan…

Artificial intelligence is becoming crucial to how large retail organisations manage and optimise supply chains. From predicting seasonal demand in goods to automating inventory ordering, AI is helping supply chain management system vendors gain new efficiencies for their clients. In 2022, McKinsey reported that supply chain management was the top area where businesses reported AI-related cost reductions. At the time, large consumer packaged goods companies saw a 20% reduction in inventory, a 10% decrease in supply chain costs, and revenue increases of up to 4%. AI for supply chains has only improved since 2022 and is accelerating with generative AI.…

Vultures and artificial intelligence(s) as death detectors: High-tech approach for wildlife research and conservation

stp2y0 CommentsGenAINature; Behavioral Science; Wild Animals; Ecology; Rainforests; Earthquakes; Hacking; Artificial Intelligence; Encryption

In order to use remote locations to record and assess the behaviour of wildlife and environmental conditions, the GAIA Initiative developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that reliably and automatically classifies behaviours of white-backed vultures using animal tag data. As scavengers, vultures always look for the next carcass. With the help of tagged animals and a second AI algorithm, the scientists can now automatically locate carcasses across vast landscapes. The algorithms described in a recently published article in the Journal of Applied Ecology are therefore key components of an early warning system that can be used to quickly and reliably…

During last year’s festive period, over £11.5 million was lost to online shopping scams in the U.K., with Black Friday serving as a prime target, according to a new report by the National Cyber Security Centre. This marks at least a £1.1 million increase over 2022. Britain’s cyber chief, Richard Horne, says that AI is partly to blame. “As we head into the holiday shopping season, people are understandably eager to find the best deals online,” the NCSC’s CEO said in a press release. “Unfortunately, this is also prime time for cyber criminals, who exploit bargain hunters with increasingly sophisticated…
