Samsung to launch foldable smartphone in September
SEOUL — South Korean electronics giant Samsung announced on Thursday it will release its cutting-edge foldable smartphone in September, despite a trade dispute between Seoul and Tokyo which analysts say will affect delivery.Tokyo earlier this month restricted export to South Korea of several key materials crucial to its world-leading electronics and smartphone companies, including market leader Samsung.The decision was made in response to a South Korean court decision ordering Japanese firms that used forced labor during World War II to compensate Korean victims.Tokyo's move has raised international concern about the effect on global tech supply chains and the possibility of price hikes for consumers worldwide.Samsung's Galaxy Fold is among the end products that will be affected...

Facebook to fix kids app flaw allowing chats with strangers
SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook acknowledged on Tuesday that a flaw in its Messenger Kids service allowed children get into group chats with people who were not approved by their parents.The leading social network said it has been shutting down the group chats involved and notifying thousands of parents that their children many have unintentionally connected with strangers."We recently notified some parents of Messenger Kids account users about a technical error that we detected affecting a small number of group chats," Facebook said in response to an AFP inquiry."We turned off the affected chats and provided parents with additional resources on Messenger Kids and online safety."Technology news website The Verge first reported on the development, publishing a copy of an...

Progress is being made brain-computer interface technology, an example of which is seen at a French laboratory in 2017, but scientists say a vision outlined by Elon Musk to mesh brains and computers using artificial intelligence remains far off. — AFP
Machine-meshed super-humans remain stuff of fantasy
SAN FRANCISCO — A bold vision by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk to mesh human brains with artificial intelligence remains more science fiction than reality.Even as Musk claimed his Neuralink startup had enabled a monkey to control a computer with its brain, experts were quick to dampen expectations for a futuristic scenario from "The Matrix" films, based on people with cybernetic implants.Musk this week revealed his Neuralink startup is making progress on its brain-computer interface effort, and said the company hopes to begin testing on people next year.Musk, founder of the automaker Tesla and the private space firm SpaceX, has long contended that a neural lace meshing minds with machines is vital if humans are to avoid being outpaced by artificial intelligence."This has a...

Musk shows off progress on brain-machine interface
SAN FRANCISCO — Futurist entrepreneur Elon Musk late Tuesday revealed his secretive Neuralink startup is making progress on an interface linking brains with computers, and said they hope to begin testing on people next year.Musk has long contended that a neural lace meshing minds with machines is vital if people are going to avoid being so outpaced by artificial intelligence that, under the best of circumstances, humans would be akin to "house cats."Musk and members of the Neuralink team laid out progress they have made on their mission at an event held in San Francisco to recruit talent in software, robotics, neuroscience and more."Ultimately, we can do a full brain-machine interface," Musk said."Achieve a sort of symbiosis with artificial...

Training journalists in the era of fake news
PARIS — As uncannily realistic "deep fake" videos proliferate online, including one recently retweeted by Donald Trump, journalism schools are scrambling to adapt to an era of misinformation — or fake news.Experts discussed how to train tomorrow's reporters for these new challenges at the World Journalism Education Congress in Paris last week.The three-day event — "Teaching Journalism During a Disruptive Age" — was attended by 600 educators and researchers from 70 countries."We have journalism educators from places as different as Bangladesh and Uganda, but essentially we all face the same challenges," congress organizer Pascal Guenee, head of IPJ Dauphine journalism school in Paris, said.In China, the government makes no secret of its tight grip...

Robots to install telescopes to peer into cosmos from the moon
BOULDER, Colorado — As the United States races to put humans back on the moon for the first time in 50 years, a NASA-funded lab in Colorado aims to send robots there to deploy telescopes that will look far into our galaxy, remotely operated by orbiting astronauts.The radio telescopes, to be planted on the far side of the moon, are among a plethora of projects underway by the US space agency, private companies and other nations that will transform the moonscape in the coming decade."This is not your grandfather's Apollo program that we're looking at,” said Jack Burns, director of the Network for Exploration and Space Science at the University of Colorado, which is working on the telescope project."This is really a very different kind of program and very importantly...

The machine that made the Moon missions possible
WASHINGTON — We've all been there: you're working on something important, your PC crashes, and you lose all your progress.Such a failure was not an option during the Apollo missions, the first time ever that a computer was entrusted with handling flight control and life support systems — and therefore the lives of the astronauts on board.Despite an infamous false alarm during lunar descent that sent Commander Neil Armstrong's heart rate racing, it was a resounding success that laid the groundwork for everything from modern avionics to multitasking operating systems.Here are some of the ways the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), millions of times less powerful than a 2019 smartphone, shaped the world we live in today:Integrated circuits, or microchips, were a necessary part of...

Need quick medical advice in Britain? Ask Alexa
LONDON — Britain's state-run health service is teaming up with Amazon to provide medical advice for common ailments such as migraines and flu via the tech giant's voice assistant Alexa, aiming to help more patients at home and cut down on costs.The plan is to give patients — especially the elderly, blind and those unable to access the internet through traditional means — access to information verified by the National Health Service (NHS) by using voice commands, the government said.The deal could ease pressure on the NHS by reducing the need to visit a doctor.However, there are concerns that older people, who are used to telephonic or personal interactions, might find it hard to adapt to newer technologies for healthcare services.Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK,...

Choking India gets first fully-fledged electric car
MUMBAI, India — Motorists in India, home to some of the world's most polluted cities, can now buy a fully-fledged electric car after Hyundai unveiled a model that can travel 452 km on one charge.The Kona Electric SUV will cost $36,000 — more than three times the price of the cheapest combustion-engine SUV and more than eight times dearer than a regular saloon car.But its improved range will address one of the major concerns among customers in India, where there is a shortage of charging stations, Hyundai Motors Managing Director SS Kim told the Press Trust of India.India is forecast to become the world's most populous nation within a decade, and although last week the government unveiled new tax incentives, manufacturers say that there is no clear road-map to get more EVs on...

Wimbledon targets Asian fans 'nirvana' with lite app
LONDON — Wimbledon has unleashed a new lightweight app to try and hook the growing tennis-loving market in Asia, while AI-generated highlights are getting smarter at spotting the most exciting action.The official Wimbledon app is packed with heavy graphics but the new, slimmed-down alternative is designed for fans in places with poorer bandwidth and older smartphones — especially India.The prestigious tennis tournament reckons it can potentially reach several hundred million people in India who are interested in the championships but can only download data over slow mobile phone networks.The slimmer app has lightweight scores, results, headlines and the order of play."India is one of the largest social media audiences for them globally," said Sam Seddon, IBM's client...
